The German Society for Medical Psychology (DGMP) is an association of scientists (physicians, psychologists and sociologists) who represent the subject of medical psychology in teaching, research and patient care. The society was founded in Heidelberg in 1979 as the Society for Medical Psychology (GMP) and was given its current name in 1990. Today it has approx. 215 members, who mainly work in the 33 institutes and departments for medical psychology at the universities and colleges providing medical training. The organ of the DGMP was the journal for medical psychology until 2013 , since then the journal Psychotherapie Psychosomatik Medical Psychologie has been the organ of the society.
history
The association was founded on April 21, 1979 in Heidelberg . This was preceded in 1970 by the establishment of the "Standing Conference of University Lecturers for Psychosomatics / Psychotherapy and Medical Psychology" on the initiative of Horst-Eberhard Richter . In the same year, with the amendment of the license to practice medicine, medical psychology, medical sociology, psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy were introduced as compulsory subjects in medical studies. In 1972 the first chair for medical psychology was established ( Dieter Beckmann in Gießen ). In 1973 the first textbook in the sense of the license to practice medicine was published, in 1974 the journal "Medical Psychology" was founded (editor Lothar R. Schmidt ). The first congress "Psychology in Medicine" took place in 1976 in Ulm. The association has been a member of the Working Group of Scientific Medical Societies (AWMF) since 1980 .
In the GDR there were sections of Medical Psychology of the Society for Psychotherapy, Psychosomatics and Medical Psychology and the Society for Psychiatry and Neurology, which had been working closely with the GMP since 1981. B. hosted two major international congresses in 1984 and 1988 as well as conferences with international participation in Ahrenshoop every two years. In 1979 the working group of university teachers for medical psychology in the GDR was founded, and in 1982 the subject was officially introduced into medical studies. In the GDR, medical psychology saw itself more as an interdisciplinary subject between medicine and psychology than as a pure training subject. Hans Szewczyk and Hans-Dieter Rösler are closely connected to this development. After reunification , the society was renamed "German Society for Medical Psychology".

Scientific congresses
The congresses of the German Society for Medical Psychology have taken place every two years since 1976. In the years between the congresses, smaller meetings were held (from 1979 to 1991 every six months, from 1992 to 2017 annually).
Two major medical-psychological congresses took place in the GDR: A symposium "On the Psychology of the Patient" was held in Erfurt in April 1984 under the direction of Hans Szewczyk, and a second entitled "Development Lines of Medical Psychology" in December 1988 in Berlin under the direction of Gisela Ehle.
