Abstract: 

Objectives: At the centre of the study lay a representation of outpatient psychosomatic and psychotherapeutic care with a focus on different groups of medical and psychological therapists.

Methods: The routine data of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV) from the year 2008 were analyzed based on a systematic literature review (Medline, ISI, to November 2010).

Results: Neurologists and psychiatrists see the most patients (n = 3,172 vs n = 1,347 cases per practice), but they rarely provide services according to the directives for psychotherapy (4.4 %). However, specialists for psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy (65 %), physicians providing only psychotherapy (66 %) and psychological psychotherapists (73 %) provide care mainly according to the directives for psychotherapy and therefore see fewer patients (170-190 cases per practice). Medical psychotherapists work more often on a psychodynamic basis, while psychological psychotherapists perform more often behavioral therapy.

Conclusions: The treatment of patients with mental and psychosomatic disorders is based on three columns of care, which differ in their supply profile and each make a specific contribution to the treatment.
