3. German Psychotherapy Congress 2024: Latest knowledge & challenges in clinical psychology & psychotherapy
The 3. German Psychotherapy Congress (DPK) will take place from June 11th to 15th, 2024 in the Estrel Congress Center in Berlin. This year's congress is under the motto "Light and Shadow" and brings together representatives from research, practice, training and further education in order to discuss the latest scientific knowledge in clinical psychology and psychotherapy. One of the focus of the congress is child and adolescent psychotherapy and the associated psychotherapeutic care and support of children, adolescents and families.
According to Gebhard Hentschel, Federal Chairman of the German Psychotherapist Association (DPTV), many children and adolescents are heavily burdened by current issues such as pandemic, climate change and wars. It is therefore important that children receive psychotherapeutic care near the place of residence, especially in rural and structurally weak regions. In addition, prevention should be a focus in children and adolescents.
The Congress offers a variety of workshops, lectures and discussion groups on the subject of psychotherapeutic care for children and adolescents. Two keynotes treat suicidality and anxiety disorders in childhood and adolescence. Other topics include new approaches to the diagnosis and therapy of behavioral addictions and substance use as well as the inclusion of family members into the therapeutic context. Both the possibilities and opportunities of psychotherapy for young people are emphasized as well as to any limits and risks.
The congress takes place in a hybrid format that includes presence events and online broadcasts. All main lectures and numerous other events are transferred virtually and are available in a media library after the congress.
Here are some verifiable historical facts in connection with the psychotherapeutic care of children and adolescents in Berlin:
- In recent years there has been increased demand for child and adolescent psychotherapy in Berlin due to increasing psychological stress in young people.
- Berlin has taken measures in recent years to improve the psychotherapeutic care of children and adolescents, including the expansion of therapeutic offers in rural and structurally weak regions.
