title: [Medical and non-medical ambulatory psychotherapy in the Hannover area. A specialty, school and sex related comparison].
abstract: The result of an investigation of 128 from 283 (45.2%) medical and psychological psychotherapists established in the city of Hannover is presented. The aim of the study is to characterize the situation of psychotherapeutical care not only by the number of psychotherapists in relation to inhabitants but also by the working time spent for psychotherapy. Besides we found gender, school of psychotherapy and professional experience as factor influencing the patients waiting time for beginning a psychotherapy. In contrast to other studies, the number of medical and psychological psychotherapists is not different, nevertheless the psychotherapeutical care in Hannover is not ensured.
