This article gives an overview of the development of group psychotherapies in Germany originating from a psychodynamic tradition. The German health system provides access to inpatient and outpatient psychotherapy for all of its citizens. Whereas groups are common in inpatient settings, the provision of outpatient group treatment still could be improved, as it is the case for the general training of group psychotherapists. Group research in Germany largely reflects clinical practice, with more studies coming from the inpatient field. It is stated that the general image of group treatment seems to be largely positive, which could provide a basis for political initiatives to improve the dissemination of group therapy in this country.
本文概述了源自心理动力学传统的德国团体心理治疗的发展情况。德国医疗体系为所有公民提供住院和门诊心理治疗服务。团体治疗在住院环境中很常见，但门诊团体治疗的提供仍有改进空间，团体心理治疗师的一般培训情况也是如此。德国的团体研究在很大程度上反映了临床实践，更多研究来自住院治疗领域。据称，团体治疗的总体形象似乎在很大程度上是积极的，这可为该国改善团体治疗传播的政治举措提供依据。
