Facing the current political controversies concerning health care, the present study examines the question who is using outpatient psychotherapy in Germany. Using data drawn from a nationally representative survey of 5120 Germans 7% stated they had used oupatient psychotherapy in the former 6 years or being actually in outpatient psychotherapy. Comparisions of socio-economic variables between persons with and without use of outpatient psychotherapy showed, contrary to expectations, that psychotherapy is not utilised by so called YARVIS (young, attractive, rich, verbal, intelligent, successful) patients.
