Benefits and savings from the use of Psychotherapy in the health care system, social welfare and other sectors or areas - The PURPOSE OF THIS SUBMISSION DOCUMENT is to request the establishment

The Marketing Group has been working on the EAP Psychotherapy Booklet which can be used when calling on politicians, mental health professionals, the legal profession and so forth.
The 20-page booklet has been designed to support and promote psychotherapy in Europe.
Europe’s citizens deserve accessibility to quality assured psychotherapy. It also focuses on the adoption of the Psychotherapy Act by the European Union, thus granting the same professional standing as has been given to other professions in recent years.
Adoption of the Psychotherapy Act
EAP aims to elevate and promote the profession of Psychotherapy. In 2018 the European Association for Psychotherapy submitted the Psychotherapy Act to the EUROPEAN COMMISSION to gain recognition of the professional status of Psychotherapist.
Training
Psychotherapists are required to engage in extensive personal psychotherapy during their training which is up to seven years duration. Psychotherapists usually have a first degree followed by a professional, highly specialised, theoretical and clinical training which includes research methodology and continuous professional development. The EAP promotes the recognition of common standards of training throughout Europe, and will ensure their mobility across member states.
