[The tasks of a rehabilitation psychology in teaching, services, and research (author's transl)].
The first Chair of rehabilitation psychology established in the Federal Republic of Germany was started at the Institute of Psychology of Freiburg University in the 1979/1980 winter semester. On the basis of the conviction that interdisciplinarity constitutes a fundamental requirement for work and research in the rehabilitation field, the author discusses the tasks of rehabilitation psychology, and its relationship with medical and vocational rehabilitation. The working conditions faced by psychologists in the rehabilitation facilities as well as the preparation they hitherto used to receive during their studies for work in the rehabilitation field, are criticised. The curriculum developed in Freiburg for "rehabilitation psychology", as one of the fields of applied psychology included the studies for a university degree in psychology, is explained. Further, the new department's service delivery functions and intended research are presented.
