Statutory insurance (GKV)

Outpatient psychotherapy paid for by statutory insurance follows the Psychotherapie-Richtlinie of the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA). It recognises four methods; analytische Psychotherapie is one of them.

According to the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV):

• no referral is needed to start;
• short-term therapy is 12 to 24 sessions; long-term therapy starts at 25 and needs an application with an expert report;
• for adults, analytische Psychotherapie can be approved for 160 individual sessions in a first step, and up to 300 in total; a session lasts 50 minutes.

Ask the analyst whether they are approved to provide psychotherapy under statutory insurance. Many Jungian analysts in Germany belong to the DGAP, whose roster we may not republish; see its page.
