The German Society for Sports Psychiatry and Psychotherapy pursues two goals: maintaining and researching mental health in competitive sports as well as the systematic use of sports and exercise therapy for mental disorders. Accordingly, our training at the Sports and Olympic Museum in Cologne consists of two parts over three weekends each. Since we attach particular importance to the personal and interdisciplinary exchange of experiences, the number of participants is limited to 20 to 25 people. The cost for three weekends, depending on the number of participants, is €1,200 to €1,400 for members and €1,300 to €1,500 for non-members.

Part 1 is open to all professional groups working in competitive sports. In addition to psychiatrists and psychotherapists, the focus is primarily on sports physicians, sports psychologists, physiotherapists, mental trainers, coaches, sports therapists, consultants, sports officials and athletes themselves. We want to encourage athletes in particular to take more responsibility for their mental health. After participating in three weekends, the DGSPP awards the “Fundamentals of Mental Health in Competitive Sports” certificate.
 

Part 2 is designed primarily, but not exclusively, for colleagues working in therapy and also deals with the use of sports and exercise therapy for psychological disorders. This part ends after another three weekends, depending on the basic training, with the certificate “Sport Psychiatry and Psychotherapy” or “Sport Psychotherapy”.
