In recent years, the healthy lifespan has also increased significantly in Germany. The motto of the 2023 Congress "Healthy Ageing in Transition" advocates that psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy should increasingly address this highly topical issue in research and practice.

We would like to invite you to discuss our changing understanding of ageing with internationally renowned speakers. We also want to take up the challenge of applying the new findings to the promotion of healthy ageing in our patients, who are exposed to many disadvantages and risk factors. In exciting keynote lectures, we want to inform you about current social debates, such as climate change, conspiracy assumptions, authoritarianism or racism, as well as about the latest developments in our field.
