The German Society for Systemic Therapy, Counseling and Family Therapy (DGSF) is a cross-professional association for systemic therapy , counseling , supervision , mediation, coaching and organizational development. The association was registered at the Cologne District Court and is recognized as a non-profit organization. It currently represents around 8,000 members, making it the largest association for systemic therapy in Germany. According to its own definition, the DGSF connects "people and institutions that work systemically". It pursues the goal of promoting systemic thinking and working in all professional fields. In particular, the DGSF - like its predecessor institutions since its foundation - advocates the recognition of systemic therapy as a form of psychotherapy financed by health insurance funds in Germany. The DGSF was created in September 2000 from the merger of the following associations:

  • German Working Group for Family Therapy (DAF), founded in 1978,
  • Umbrella organization for family therapy and systemic work (DFS), founded in 1987.

The DGSF (previously the DAF) publishes the journal Context , a forum for scientific reflection on systemic and family therapy work. The DGSF also publishes leaflets, brochures and booklets, operates a mailing list for members, has drawn up ethical guidelines and strives for networking, advanced training and quality assurance of the affiliated training institutions. The association also works with national and international associations. The DGSF and the Systemic Society award the Systemic Research Prize annually. In contrast to the Systemic Society (SG) , the other large, German, systemic professional association, the DGSF does not only belong to private, independent further training institutes, but also to further training centers and seminars at universities and technical colleges . The DGSF office is located in Cologne , currently chaired by Anke Lingnau-Carduck and Filip Caby (previously Björn Enno Hermans, Essen, Jochen Schweitzer , Heidelberg, Wilhelm Rotthaus, Bergheim).

At the end of 2008, the Scientific Advisory Board for Psychotherapy (WBP) determined, based on an expertise jointly presented by the DGSF and SG, that systemic therapy fulfills the requirements for scientific recognition for both adult psychotherapy and child and adolescent psychotherapy can therefore be recommended as a "method for in-depth training" for psychological psychotherapists and child and adolescent psychotherapists . In November 2019, systemic therapy (for adults) was included in the psychotherapy guideline as the fourth "guideline procedure" by resolution of the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA).
