The professional association for child and adolescent psychiatry, psychosomatics and psychotherapy in Germany e. V. (bkjpp) has a new chairman: Dr. Gundolf Berg from Mainz will lead the association for the next three years.
The deputies are the previous chairman Dr. Maik Herberhold from Bochum and Dr. Susanne Jödicke-Fritz from Fürstenwalde. The treasurer of the bkjpp is Oya UzelliSchwarz from Gelsenkirchen. Also included are Anja Walczak, Preetz, and Dr. Ingo Spitczok from Brisinski, Viersen, joined the board as an assessor. The bkjpp belongs, together with the Professional Association of German Neurologists (BVDN), the Professional Association of German Psychiatrists (BVDP) and the Professional Association of German Neurologists, to the Central Association of the CNS (SPiZ). Berg is deputy chairman of the SPiZ.
“Children are not little adults; this also and especially applies to the psychological structure and social needs of children,” emphasized Berg when he took office. He announced that he would like to make this clear again and again so that the concerns of children in care are actually dealt with by the relevant specialists. To do this, the public needs to be informed more intensively about the specific medical, psychotherapeutic, curative and social-educational approaches in the KJPP. Berg's agenda also includes improving cross-sector care in child and adolescent psychiatry, securing and further developing the financing of social psychiatric practices and working to ensure that time-bound child and adolescent psychiatric and psychotherapeutic services are appropriately remunerated with a fixed value.
