The term Psychotherapy covers a range of approaches and methods. They all involve a psychological (as distinct from medical or pharmacological) treatment for a range of psychological, emotional and relationship difficulties and disorders. Each approach is based on a well-established body of theory, methodology and research, grounded in a philosophy of person and the human condition.

German Parliament voted on a new Psychotherapy law on September 26, 2019

Honorary President Alfred Pritz is delighted to announce that the German Parliament voted on a new Psychotherapy law on September 26, 2019. In a mailing to all EAP Board members he wrote: "I want to inform You that the German parliament has voted for a new psychotherapists law which ends the dominance of psychology over psychotherapy. It is not necessary to be a psychologist or medical doctor before becoming a psychotherapist: The law creates a new academic discipline of psychotherapy with a bachelor and a master in psychotherapy. After these studies there is a approbation examination which allows to treat patients. If the person wants a „seat“ of the social security, a postgraduate training follows."

Ethics Symposium Vienna February 2018

Report from the EAP Symposium “Ethics in Psychotherapy” Sunday: 25-Feb-2018, in SFU Vienna The Ethical Guidelines Committee initiated this Symposium once again to bring the ethical questions in psychotherapy more into the light. There have been EAP events before, such as “Teaching Ethics” in 2006 or the 2011 3-country Symposium in Vienna, when a proposal for a seminar on Ethics was developed, which aimed to produce the content framework for ethics seminars as a part of psychotherapy trainings and produce suggestions how to develop a national legal framework which might apply to the practice of psychotherapy. Almost a decade later, this EAP Symposium “Ethics in Psychotherapy 2018” was organized to highlight the contemporary situation and current developments for reflection and discussion concerning ethics in psychotherapy practice and training.
