In Russia, psychotherapy training has developed considerably since its introduction in the early 20th century. However, its integration into psychiatry training programs remains inconsistent, with variations across institutions.</p> <p><bold>AIM: </bold>To explore the experiences of psychiatry trainees and early career psychiatrists (ECPs) in Russia with psychotherapy education, and to assess their views on potential areas for improvement.</p> <p><bold>METHODS:</bold> A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the World Psychotherapy Survey questionnaire, which was translated into Russian. The survey gathered data on psychotherapy training experiences, supervision, and demographic characteristics.</p> <p><bold>RESULTS:</bold> Data were obtained from 223 psychiatrists and psychiatry trainees across 38 Russian cities. There was a strong interest in psychotherapy training, with 88 (39.5%) participants already certified or undergoing training, while 100 (44.8%) planned future training. However, only 69 (30.9%) reported that their psychiatry training programs included mandatory psychotherapy courses. Supervision opportunities were limited, and many respondents funded the training themselves. The majority (<italic>n</italic>=200; 89.7%) supported the inclusion of psychotherapy training into the psychiatry training programs, with cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy being the most preferred modalities.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION:</bold> Psychotherapy training is highly relevant to psychiatry trainees and ECPs in Russia, yet gaps in supervision and inconsistent integration into the psychiatry training programs need to be addressed. Revising educational programs to include mandatory psychotherapy training could align Russian psychiatric education with international standards and enhance the quality of mental health care.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>ВВЕДЕНИЕ: </bold>Существует глобальная проблема, связанная с доступностью психотерапевтических вмешательств и гармонизацией обучения психотерапии в рамках подготовки врачей-психиатров во всем мире. В России обучение психотерапии значительно эволюционировало с момента ее появления в начале 20 века. Тем не менее процесс интеграции обучения психотерапии в образовательные программы по психиатрии проходит непоследовательно и варьируется в разных учебных заведениях.</p> <p><bold>ЦЕЛЬ: </bold>Изучить мнения и практический опыт российских ординаторов и молодых врачей-психиатров в отношении обучения психотерапии, выявить существующие пробелы в образовательной системе и оценить предложения специалистов по ее оптимизации.</p> <p><bold>МЕТОДЫ:</bold> Было проведено поперечное исследование с использованием опросника «Всемирное исследование Психотерапии» (World Psychotherapy Survey), переведенного на русский язык. В ходе исследования собирали сведения об опыте обучения психотерапии, данные о супервизии и демографические характеристики участников.</p> <p><bold>РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ:</bold> Данные были получены от 223 врачей-психиатров и ординаторов, обучающихся по специальности «психиатрия», из 38 российских городов. Респонденты проявили заинтересованность в обучении психотерапии: на момент опроса 88 (39,5%) участников уже завершили или проходили обучение, а 100 (44,8%) участников планировали пройти подготовку в будущем. Однако только 69 (30,9%) респондентов сообщили, что в их учебную программу по психиатрии входили обязательные курсы изучения психотерапии. Возможности супервизии были ограниченны, при этом многие участники самостоятельно оплачивали свое обучение. Большинство респондентов (<italic>n</italic>=200; 89,7%) поддержали включение обучения психотерапии в учебные программы по психиатрии, при этом наиболее предпочтительными направлениями оказались когнитивно-поведенческая терапия и психодинамическая терапия.</p> <p><bold>ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ:</bold> Психотерапия — востребованная программа среди российских молодых врачей-психиатров и ординаторов, обучающихся по специальности «Психиатрия». Однако существующие пробелы в организации супервизии и фрагментарное включение этих курсов в программы ординатуры требуют системного решения. Пересмотр образовательных программ с целью включения обязательного обучения психотерапии мог бы привести российское психиатрическое образование в соответствие с международными стандартами и повысить качество психиатрической помощи.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>psychotherapy training</kwd><kwd>mental health education</kwd><kwd>supervision</kwd><kwd>early career psychiatrists</kwd><kwd>psychiatry residency</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>обучение психотерапии</kwd><kwd>образование в области психического здоровья</kwd><kwd>супервизия</kwd><kwd>молодые врачи-психиатры</kwd><kwd>ординатура по психиатрии</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Schaffler Y, Probst T, Jesser A, et al.
