Outcome of the conference and how it goes on
This conference was planned as a start up conference to initiate further reserach among EAP institutions and practionners.
There will be four projects, that we will bring forward in the next months:
- Using CORE in practice and education of psychotherapists
- Qualitative Research: Getting instructions how to apply criteria for good qualitative research in case studies in psychotherapy practice and education
- Creating a naturalistic process-outcome study with multinational participation including a wide sprectrum of modalities
- creating models of simple outcome-process studies
For all these approaches there was interest shown at the end of the conference. We will keep You informed and invite You to next steps.
The SARC of EAP is maintaining a mailing list of research interested persons. Participants of the conference are listed there. If anyone else (that might have missed the conference) wants to join this list to get our mailings, please send a request to the Chair of SARC.

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.
