“…This is where the structural contexts of people's lives come into play, as they are the sources of security and social networks ( 51 ). Research on psychotherapy training in Austria assessed baseline and sociodemographic background data from a group of 197 psychotherapy trainees from Austria, finding that the group consisted mainly of individuals with satisfactory, financially secure life situations ( 52 , 53 ). Also, other characteristics make the group distinct: 70% of the candidates have previous professional experience in the psychosocial field ( 49 ).…”

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.

“…One part of the current study is part of the ongoing Society for Psychotherapy Research Interest Section on Therapist Training and Development (SPRISTAD) study, a multi-site longitudinal study of development in psychotherapy trainees [35][36][37]. The prerequisites for psychotherapy training candidates in Austria were considered and assessed within a survey at the beginning of their training.…”

“…The prerequisites for psychotherapy training candidates in Austria were considered and assessed within a survey at the beginning of their training. This background data was collected as part of the international study on training and professional development of psychotherapists (Society of Psychological Research Interest Section on Therapist Training and Development; SPRIS-TAD) with the Trainee Background Information Form (TBIF) [36]. The questions and subscales of the TBIF were taken from the questionnaire on the professional development of psychotherapists, which had been developed by the International Study on the Professional Development of Psychotherapists (ISDP) in 1989; an overview of the scales and their psychometric characteristics can be found in Orlinsky and Rønnestad [38].…”

“…Having children differed significantly across the groups and percentage was highest in group C and D (65% and 85%, respectively). For all groups the demographic data were rather heterogeneous, reflecting the Austrian psychotherapy training requirement permitting trainees with a variety of professional backgrounds access to the training [35,36].…”

Mentalizing describes the human ability to comprehend one’s own and others’ mental states and is seen as one of the core competencies of psychotherapists. Current research has emphasized the importance of both early dyadic attachment as well as broader sociocultural environmental input on the development of mentalizing. This study investigates whether mentalizing skills, operationalized via reflective functioning (RF), might be influenced by training and working conditions. This study was a matched case-control comparison, cross-sectional study. RF was assessed in a total of 10 psychotherapy trainees working in private practice at the beginning (group A; n = 5) and end (group B; n = 5) of their psychotherapy training (training association: Gestalt Therapy, Institute of Integrative Gestalttherapy Vienna) and in a total of 40 health professionals (institution: General Hospital Vienna—Social Medical Center South, Vienna, Department of Psychiatry, acute psychiatric ward) at the beginning of (group C; n = 20) and without (group D; n = 20) mentalization based therapy training. The participants differed from each other regarding their training, but participants of the same institution were matched. RF scores were significantly higher in group A and B than in group C and D (A,C: p = 0.0065, Odds Ratio (OR): 0.0294; A,D: p = 0.0019, OR: 0.0132; B,C: p = 0.0065, OR: 0.0294, B,D: p = 0.0019, OR: 0.0132). RF scores were not significantly different among groups A and group B (A,B: p > 0.9999) or between groups C and D (C,D: p = 0.6050). The current study suggests that mentalizing skills might be rather slow to improve by training, but that they might be influenced by the context.

“…Die psychotherapeutische Ausbildung, wie sie in Österreich auf der Grundlage des Psychotherapiegesetzes seit 1991 durchgeführt wird, hat im internationalen Vergleich eine besonders hohe Qualität, wie dies auch in der aktuellen internationalen "Spristad"-Studie bestätigt wird (Löffler-Stastka et al 2019;Orlinsky et al 2015).…”

Zusammenfassung30 Jahre nach der Verabschiedung des österreichischen Psychotherapiegesetzes wird die Besonderheit der Psychotherapie im Gesundheitssystem mit Bezug auf nationale Gegebenheiten und international vorliegende Forschungsergebnisse dargestellt. Dabei werden zentrale Qualitäts- und Unterscheidungsmerkmale der Psychotherapie im Verhältnis zur Klinischen Psychologie und zu weiteren Gesundheitsberufen unter Miteinbeziehung von evidenzbasierter Forschungsliteratur vorgestellt. Es wird deutlich gemacht, dass Psychotherapie das bedeutsamste und weitreichendste Versorgungsangebot zur interaktionellen Behandlung psychischer Erkrankungen darstellt. Zu den zentralen Merkmalen der Psychotherapie zählen die umfassenden, evidenzbasierten sowie wissenschaftstheoretisch und methodisch in vier Clustern verankerten Konzepte zur Erklärung, Diagnose und individuellen, prozessorientierten Behandlung von psychischen Erkrankungen sowie die im Vergleich zu ähnlichen Berufen deutlich höhere Qualität der Ausbildung.
