Wissen, Lehrumfang und Stereotype bezüglich Psychosen bei Psychotherapeut:innen in Ausbildung
摘要
Psychotherapy was long considered to be contraindicated for people with psychoses. Today, guidelines and psychotherapy regulations recommend psychotherapy in all phases of treatment; however, studies show that new knowledge on psychoses is slow to be implemented in practice, resulting in a significant care gap in this area.
ObjectiveThis study examines what psychological psychotherapists in training know about psychotherapy for psychoses, how much education they receive on this topic, how well-prepared they feel to treat individuals with psychosis and which stereotypes persist.
Material and methodsThis cross-sectional study involved a convenience sample of 235 psychotherapists in training who were surveyed using an online questionnaire.
ResultsOnly about 40% of respondents reported receiving specific contents related to psychotherapy for people with psychoses during their training. Compared to other disorders, they felt less prepared to treat individuals with psychoses. Over 70% of the participants expressed a desire for the topic to play a more significant role in their training. Self-reported stereotypes regarding psychoses were very weakly expressed in the sample.
ConclusionAlthough outdated stereotypes with respect to psychoses seem to be rare among psychotherapists in training and there is considerable interest in psychotherapy for psychoses, there is a clear need for improvement in the mediation of knowledge and competences in psychotherapeutic training regarding the treatment of individuals with psychoses.
