University-based clinical child and adolescent psychology and psychotherapy in Germany has recently experienced a significant development as part of the reform of psychotherapy training. This reform and the associated new licensing regulations for psychotherapists have led to a reorganization of the teaching and practice opportunities for students. In this article, many professors from the Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology departments at various German universities share their experiences with the conversion of the degree program. They present both commonalities and details of the locations in implementing the teaching programs. Based on different levels of resources, some 30 state universities currently provide in-depth child and adolescent psychology and psychotherapy training. The bachelor's degree provides knowledge about disorders, their classification, diagnostics, and etiology. The practical training of the master's program complements this knowledge and demands of all students competencies for psychotherapeutic work with children, adolescents, and their families. In this article, we describe the framework conditions (law and licensing regulations) and present examples of teaching formats, in light of the required procedural diversity. The article concludes with a description of the remaining challenges for the field in the coming years.
