European Association for Psychotherapy
The European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP) is a Vienna-based umbrella organisation for 128 psychotherapist organizations (including 28 national associations and 17 European associations) from 42 countries with a membership of more than 120,000 psychotherapists.[1] Individual members may also join the organisation directly rather than through one of its member organisations.
The EAP has sponsored much of the European effort from the mid-1990s toward the professionalisation of psychotherapy and the formation of pan-European training standards, ethics and guidelines.[2]
A submission to the European Commission to establish the Common Training Framework for the Profession of Psychotherapist is currently in process (2021).
The President of EAP is Irena Bezić (Croatia);[3] the general secretary of the EAP is Prof. Eugenijus Laurinaitis (Lithuania).[4]
The association is based on the Strasbourg Declaration on Psychotherapy of 1990 whereby the EAP promotes the need for high standards of training on a scientific basis, and fights for free and independent exercise of psychotherapy in Europe.[5] Important activities include:
- Creating a collaborative democratic forum for all European national and method-based professional associations in psychotherapy.
- Establishing pan-European professional post-graduate training standards consisting of a minimum of 2,400 hours, over a minimum of four years, of specialist training, with a significant component of supervised practice.
- Awarding the European Certificate of Psychotherapy (ECP):[6] The aim of the European Certificate of Psychotherapy is to implement a comparable standard of training and mutual recognition of training across Europe.
- Building the Register for ECP Psychotherapists: creating a searchable database of the availability of over 5,000 psychotherapists in Europe.
- Promoting EAP Ethical Guidelines: The EAP has developed ethical guidelines to protect patients and is establishing these across Europe.[7]
- EAP is also a founding member of the World Council for Psychotherapy (WCP).
