Dear Colleagues, We wanted to give you an update on current developments in the psychotherapy field relating to the challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. While situations and the extend of “lock-down”, travel restrictions, or “social distancing” vary geographically across Europe, these will remain fluid (and subject to change at short notice) and can be expected to continue for the immediate foreseeable future. EAP has received a number of concerns regarding aspects of psychotherapy during the pandemic, ranging for example from advertising concerns to the safety of online group psychotherapy.

The following article is taken from the EAP special newsletter on Covid-19.  Please click here for details. Dear Colleagues, The populations of Europe and European psychotherapists are facing an unprecedented situation with the rapid spread of the Coronavirus (or Covid-19) across Europe. We are increasingly asked to “self-isolate” if infected but also to avoid direct contact with others as well as avoiding “unnecessary” travel. This is the first time in history that psychotherapy practice is being restricted in such profound ways and we therefore find ourselves in uncharted waters. As Psychotherapists, we work with many vulnerable clients or patients whom we should not easily abandon with their problems of living, problems that may become further exacerbated by challenges arising from the Coronavirus situatio

EAP’s Next Steps: Mapping the ECP into ECTS to gain EQF-7

The ECP is essentially a “training certificate", a recognition that a person has been trained to a level recognised by a national and/or modality professional psychotherapy organisations represented within EAP. All the European academic and professional trainings are now being measured using the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). This document proposes a new forward strategy for the EAP to convert the current ECP into the ECTS system. Since the ECP is a post-graduate professional training, the 4-year psychotherapy training programme would be set at a Master’s degree level - at Level 7 within the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) - EQF-7. This ‘Next Steps’ - a briefing paper - explains the current situation; the relevant frameworks; other issues; and looks forward to this new status. Mapping the ECP into ECTS to gain EQF-7: A Briefing Paper for new ‘forward st
