Core offering

NPSN is a national membership-based professional network of psychosomatic therapists in the Netherlands (originally founded as Stichting SOLKNet in 2014, rebranded to NPSN). It sells therapist memberships, delivers and promotes ALK (Aanhoudende Lichamelijke Klachten) training courses, runs an annual congress and scientific symposia, sells printed patient-information folders, and provides a public therapist directory ('Vind een therapeut') to direct patients to member practitioners.

Product overview

NPSN (Netwerk Psychosomatiek Nederland) is a national professional network of psychosomatic therapists specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of Aanhoudende Lichamelijke Klachten (ALK/Persistent Physical Symptoms). The organization functions as a membership-based network rather than a traditional software product company. Its core offering is the NPSN Membership program, which connects ALK-specialized therapists through a closed member portal, LinkedIn group, website directory, and educational events. The organization also offers a printed NPSN Folder for client outreach, organizes annual congresses (NPSN Jaarcongres), and facilitates or promotes specialized training programs such as the 'ALK ontrafeld' course through the NPi, and scientific symposia such as 'Psychosomatiek – van wetenschap naar praktijk'. Treatment services are delivered by member therapists, not directly by NPSN as a product.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• KNGF (Koninklijk Nederlands Genootschap voor Fysiotherapie): Royal Dutch Society for Physical Therapy is the broad incumbent physiotherapy association in the Netherlands. Many NPSN member therapists are physiotherapists, and KNGF operates the larger, more generalist network against which NPSN's psychosomatic specialty competes for member attention and training share.

Others

• American Psychosomatic Society: The American Psychosomatic Society is the leading US scientific society in psychosomatic medicine. It is a thematic peer in category terms and a useful international benchmark for how NPSN-style networks translate clinical research into professional practice in mature markets.
• NIP (Nederlands Instituut van Psychologen): NIP is the Dutch professional association for psychologists. Its membership base overlaps with NPSN's referral ecosystem (psychologists treating somatic complaints) and frames the guild-based professional organizing model that NPSN emulates for psychosomatic therapists.
• NHG (Nederlands Huisartsen Genootschap): NHG is the Dutch College of General Practitioners and the publisher of the NHG-Standaard SOLK guideline that NPSN aligns with. As the primary referral source for NPSN member therapists, NHG is the most strategically adjacent organization in the Dutch psychosomatic care value chain.
• Akwa GGZ: Akwa GGZ is the Dutch alliance of mental health and addiction care providers that publishes the Zorgstandaard SOLK referenced by NPSN. It is a strategic partner rather than a competitor, but it operates a comparable ecosystem of member organizations in the Dutch mental health landscape.

Direct peers

• NPi (Nederlands Paramedisch Instituut): NPi is NPSN's core training channel partner, operating in the Dutch paramedical training ecosystem. NPSN-developed courses such as 'ALK ontrafeld' are administered through NPi, making it a directly comparable network/training partner for allied-health professionals in the Netherlands.
• European Association for Psychosomatic Medicine (EAPM): EAPM is the European scientific and professional association for psychosomatic medicine. It is the closest international peer to NPSN in terms of category focus (psychosomatic medicine), although its scope is academic and continent-wide rather than national and practitioner-oriented.
