The Three-Level Curriculum Sports Psychiatry and an Evaluation of the First Course “Basic Health Care in Sports Psychiatry”
Abstract
Abstract. Due to scientific progress and diversification in medicine and psychiatry, there is a need for specialization in sports psychiatry. Therefore, the SSSPP has been developing a curriculum on sports psychiatry. Different backgrounds and approaches within the above-mentioned areas are presented here since they have influenced the development of the three-level curriculum. The structure of the three-level curriculum, which contains theory, practical experience, and supervision, encompassing 80 hours of additional training, will also be explained. Within this curriculum, basic knowledge in sports medicine, sports psychology, sports science, and applied sports theory will also be taught. Other subjects include sports and exercise on mental disorders, mental disorders in competitive sports, sports as a coping strategy, and other contents. Moreover, different contents and key topics of the curriculum’s three levels will be presented.
Zusammenfassung. Wissenschaftliche Fortschritte sowie Diversifizierung in der Medizin und in der Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie haben die Notwendigkeit einer Spezialisierung im Bereich der Sportpsychiatrie und -psychotherapie aufgezeigt. Die SGSPP hat ein Curriculum für Sportpsychiatrie und -psychotherapie entwickelt, dessen verschiedenen Ausgangslagen, die bei der Entwicklung des dreistufigen Curriculums eine Rolle gespielt haben, hier vorgestellt werden. Ebenso wird die Struktur des dreistufigen Curriculums erläutert, die einen Theorieteil, praktische Erfahrung und Supervision mit einem Umfang von 80 Unterrichtseinheiten Ausbildung umfasst. Im Curriculum werden Grundkenntnisse in Sportmedizin, Sportpsychologie, Sportwissenschaft und Trainingstheorie ebenso vermittelt wie Sport- und Bewegungstherapie bei psychischer Krankheit, psychische Störungen im Leistungssport, Sport als Copingstrategie sowie weitere Inhalte. Ebenso wird auf die unterschiedlichen Inhalte und Schwerpunkte der drei Stufen des Curriculums eingegangen.
