Reimbursement of clinical psychologist in sight
The law on recognition of the clinical psychologist and clinical orthopaedist. They will work autonomously, i.e. independently of prescriptions by a doctor.
It also recognises the title of psychotherapist and psychotherapy.
This is the second law in a short time after the publication of the code of ethics for psychologists.
This is particularly important for people in psychological distress: hopefully soon every person calling themselves a psychotherapist will be qualified to do so. So done with charlatans, diviners, card readers or masseurs who can call themselves ‘psychotherapists’ with impunity.
Moreover, this opens the way to reimbursement for psychotherapy, making independently practising psychotherapists affordable even for those with little means.
