The application for psychodynamic psychotherapy is the specter that lurks under the desk of every psychotherapeutic practice. The fear of rejection of the application often leads to reluctance. Both training candidates and experienced therapists report difficulties in writing the reports, as this is rarely or never taught during training. In this revised edition, the author also addresses the changes in the application process according to the new psychotherapy guidelines that will come into effect on April 1, 2017. He describes the obligations regarding consultation hours, telephone consultation times, and the application for the new KZT, as well as the fundamental changes in the continuation applications for therapy extensions. During his 25 years of work as a therapist and psychoanalyst, Dieter Adler has processed over 1,200 applications himself.
