The introduction of a new field is intended to contribute to the improvement of psychiatric care.
“The combination of psychotherapy with pharmacotherapy or biological methods is the optimal form of treating mental disorders of moderate to severe intensity. Psychotherapy also plays a significant role in the prevention of psychosomatic diseases and mental disorders. The introduction of a specialization in psychotherapy will increase the availability of psychotherapy, especially as part of community treatment provided by the mental health center and other psychiatric care providers. ", We read in the Implementation Impact Assessment.
A person with the title of specialist in the field of psychotherapy is to be prepared to conduct psychotherapy by establishing a special relationship with the patient. The goal of psychotherapy carried out by a specialist in psychotherapy is to eliminate mental disorders by changing the ways of experiencing, learning and behaving. The patient learns new patterns of emotional response and behavior.
The draft regulation has been sent for consultation.
