The present and future of clinical psychology in Germany

Introduction: This paper does not aim to predict the future of clinical psychology in Germany. The future of psychology depends on the complex interaction between political, sociological, economic and health-care related factors as well as on the scientific progress in the discipline itself and in neighbour disciplines. However, it is fair to say that clinical psychology continues to gain even stronger influences in health care and will face a number of new challenges over the next years of its expansion.
Our paper will present some of these potential fields of development and change based on a brief description of the status quo. The focus of the article will be specific developments in Germany, although there will be an overlap with general tendencies that describe the situation of clinical psychology in the new millenium in general. Furthermore, for research as well as practice, the specific relationship between clinical psychology and psyciatry will be highlighted.
