“…Professional education for psychotherapists in Austria is subject to the Psychotherapy Act. Aspiring psychotherapists must be particularly motivated to practice their job since, in contrast to other legally recognized health professions, the training must be entirely funded by the candidates ( 48 ). It is extended over an average of 8.9 years ( 49 ) and somewhat selective through admission procedures to the specialized training.…”

“…In addition, the curricula prescribe a high number of hours of self-experience or teaching therapy. This structure is supposed to select only candidates with higher reflective competence to remain in the process ( 48 ). Research has shown that improved reflective ability is associated with systematic attempts to develop it, a safe atmosphere, peer support and time to reflect ( 50 ).…”

Although the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health has been reported in different communities, little is known about the mental health of psychotherapists during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to assess mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic in Austrian psychotherapists and compare it with the general population. A total of n = 513 psychotherapists (80.5% women; mean age: 53.06 ± 9.94 years) took part in an online survey conducted from April to June 2022. At the same time, a representative sample (N = 1,031) of the Austrian general population was surveyed online. Indicators of mental health were mental wellbeing (WHO-5), depression (PHQ-2), anxiety (GAD-2), insomnia (ISI-2), and stress (PSS-10). The general population sample was matched according to age and gender with the psychotherapist's data using propensity scores, yielding a final sample of n = 513 (80.5% women; mean age: 52.33 ± 13.39 years). Psychotherapists showed lower odds for exceeding cut-offs for clinically relevant depressive, anxiety, insomnia and stress symptoms (0.34–0.58) compared to the general population. Further studies should elucidate the protective factors underlying these findings.

“…Unlike in Germany or Switzerland, it is not necessary to have a degree in psychology to complete psychotherapy training; it is even possible to become a psychotherapist without a degree in Austria ( Bundesrepublik Österreich, 1990 ). This is expected to change in the next few years, as a new psychotherapy law is currently being prepared and is expected to be submitted for parliamentary review in the second half of 2023 ( Datler et al, 2023 ).…”

The importance of teaching climate-health literacy in psychotherapeutic training and continuing education

Climate-health literacy is the ability to find, access, understand, interpret, evaluate, and communicate information about the impact of climate change on human health and to make decisions and act accordingly to that information. Climate change affects people’s health in numerous ways, both directly and indirectly, e.g., by increasing the risks of cardiovascular disease, infections, depression, anxiety disorders, and trauma. It is important for health professionals to understand the complex interaction between climate change and health. A teaching concept is presented that incorporates the core elements of climate-health literacy. On a first level, physical and climatological basics are taught, direct and indirect impacts of climate change on human health, climate protective measures, the psychological background of climate-protective behavior, and professional ethics. Furthermore, via self-awareness and self-reflection, the impact of climate change on the student’s mental health should be evaluated. In an advanced level, the direct and indirect impacts of climate change on mental health are taught, coping strategies, resilience, and vulnerability, as well as the role of health-care professionals in the climate crisis. In expert-level lectures, the knowledge can be deepened, and special content like activist burnout can be addressed.

Geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede in der psychotherapeutischen Versorgung

et al. 2021

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede bei psychischen Erkrankungen sind vielfach belegt. Auch bei der Inanspruchnahme psychotherapeutischer und medizinischer Versorgungsangebote sind Geschlechtsunterschiede festzustellen. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht Geschlechtsunterschiede bei der Inanspruchnahme psychotherapeutischer Versorgungsangebote in Österreich, da hierzu bisher keine Studien vorliegen. Material und Methoden Eine Stichprobe von 1909 Patient*innen (64 % Frauen) mit einer psychischen Erkrankung wurde im Rahmen einer stationären Behandlung in einer psychosomatischen Klinik in Österreich zur Inanspruchnahme ambulanter psychotherapeutischer Behandlung befragt. Sowohl psychotherapeutische Vorbehandlung als auch geplante weiterführende Behandlung wurden einbezogen. Ergebnisse Der größte Teil der Patient*innen (70 %) litt seit mehr als 2 Jahren an einer psychischen Erkrankung, und knapp die Hälfte (45 %) war bereits zuvor in stationärer und 82 % in ambulanter psychotherapeutischer Behandlung. Demnach handelt es sich um eine Stichprobe chronisch psychisch kranker Menschen. Die Studienergebnisse zeigten geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede bei der Inanspruchnahme psychotherapeutischer Behandlung. Männer gingen seltener zum Arzt, waren weniger häufig in psychotherapeutischer Vorbehandlung (Männer: 79 %; Frauen: 84 %) und planten weniger häufig eine weiterführende Behandlung im Anschluss an eine stationäre Behandlung als Frauen. Schlussfolgerung Die Geschlechtsunterschiede bei der Inanspruchnahme von psychotherapeutischer Behandlung könnten damit erklärt werden, dass es Unterschiede in den gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen gegenüber Männern und Frauen gibt. Die Behandlungsmotivation von Männern könnte durch eine geschlechtsspezifische Behandlungsstrategie gefördert werden.
