Training and postgraduate training in psychosomatics and psychotherapy in the Federal Republic of Germany today.

The postgraduate training to become a psychosomaticist, psychotherapist, or psychoanalyst again joins the colleagues of the two branches separated since Descartes and W. Wundt. The curricula and the quantitative result, i.e. the numbers of physicians and psychologists in the FRG, will be described here.
