Systemische Therapie – Fallkonzeption, Therapieplanung, Antragsverfahren

The social legal recognition of Systemic Therapy opens up new possibilities but also brings several challenges. Rüdiger Retzlaff takes this innovation as an opportunity to present a current guide for the entire process of Systemic Therapy:

• What does a coherent systemic case conceptualization look like?
• How do you create an appropriate treatment plan?
• How can the individual steps be efficiently implemented in therapeutic practice?
• What should be considered in publicly funded therapy?

Rüdiger Retzlaff first provides insights into the specific etiological models of Systemic Therapy and the factors that contribute to the effectiveness of psychotherapy in general.

The core of the book consists of practical instructions on how to develop a joint system analysis during the initial and follow-up sessions, apply the systemic explanatory model, and create a coherent treatment plan. Important diagnostic groups are presented with concise disorder-specific knowledge and translated into practical intervention suggestions.

Further chapters introduce the relevant formal regulations of statutory and private health insurances as well as assistance programs, illustrated with case examples for insurance applications.

Rüdiger Retzlaff has significantly contributed to the social legal recognition of Systemic Therapy as an expert at the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians and has supported it over the years. He currently teaches at the Helm Stierlin Institute in Heidelberg.
