Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy - Continuing Education Degree

Osnabrück University is one of the universities that has responded to the Psychotherapists Act with a corresponding further education program. It offers comprehensive, scientifically based, theoretical and practical training in behavioral therapy for children and adolescents. Continuing education degrees are characterized by a particularly close integration of theory and practice. This is ensured by a strong personal and institutional link between Osnabrück University, the Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, and various practical institutions in the Osnabrück region, in particular the Osnabrück Children's Hospital.

In addition to independent work in a practice for child and adolescent psychotherapy, independent psychotherapy or the supervision of other professional groups in counseling and therapeutic work areas are also possible. Institutionally, these professional fields can be affiliated with children's homes, counseling centers and inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation facilities and early intervention.

All information can be found on the  psychotherapy website.
