Possibilities of psychological psychotherapy training
Within the framework of the transitional regulation described in the PsychThG of 2020, you can still start psychotherapy training under the old law (PsychThG old version of 1999) if you started your Bachelor's degree before 01.09.2020. In this case, the psychotherapy training must be completed by 01.09.2032. In Hesse, the M.Sc. in Psychology in its current form still qualifies students to begin psychotherapy training under the old law within the framework of the above-mentioned transitional regulations. The requirements that a Master's degree must fulfill in order to qualify for training under the old law differ to some extent between the individual federal states. It is therefore essential that you enquire individually with the relevant state examination office of the respective federal state in advance as to which training you can undertake (list of state examination offices). The state in which you would like to begin your psychological psychotherapy training is responsible. In the preliminary inquiry, please state both your Bachelor's degree and your future Master's degree. Please obtain the information in writing and keep it until the licensing examination.
If you started your Bachelor's degree after 01.09.2020, you will no longer be able to obtain a license to practice and complete training with the M.Sc. in Psychology.
