Psychosenpsychotherapie im Dialog

In May 2011 the Confederation of German-Speaking Psychotherapists of Psychosis (DDPP) was founded. This affiliation of psychiatrists, neurologists and psychotherapists is dedicated to the psychotherapeutic treatment of persons suffering from psychosis. It is open to anyone working in this area who has been psychotherapeutically qualified, including psychodynamic, behavioural, family-oriented and systemic forms of therapy. It is hoped that the interdisciplinary exchange of information among the various schools of psychotherapy will lead to a better understanding of the complex treatment of psychosis. Leading representatives of psychodynamics, cognitive behavioural therapy, neurobiology and trialogue contributed to laying out the present state of the art and the resulting consequences for treating persons afflicted by this illness.
