Anano Niauri, Legal Advisor to the International Academy of Mental Health and Integrated Psychotherapy, participated in the meeting as Co-Chair of the EAP Ethics Committee.
The committee discussed the latest challenges in the field of psychotherapy and mechanisms for responding to them, including the relationship between the use of artificial intelligence in the field of psychotherapy and ethical standards. Taking these challenges into account, the committee discussed amendments and additions to the Code of Ethics for Psychotherapists.
The committee was presented with a draft version of the European Association's new guideline, "Ethics Guidelines for Organizations," which was developed by a working group consisting of Courtney Young, Enver Tsekko, Anano Niauri, Jose Castillo, and Maria Cardini.
Nino Kobakhidze, a board member of the Georgian Federation of Psychotherapy Dendron and the coordinator of educational programs at the International Academy of Mental Health and Integrated Psychotherapy, participated in the meeting as an individual member of the EAP Scientific Research Committee.
The committee presented the document „The Effectiveness of Psychotherapy: A Modern Evidence-Based Review“.
In addition, the committee discussed the importance of including a research component in the process of studying psychotherapy and the challenges faced by European accredited psychotherapy training institutions in this process.
Nino Kobakhidze shared her experience on implementing and organizing a research component in the educational process of the International Academy of Mental Health and Integrated Psychotherapy.
The 2023 Board meeting discussed important challenges in modern psychotherapy, teaching standards, guidelines and amendments to them in the context of these challenges, administrative and organizational issues of the association, and issues of clinical and ethical activities in the field. At the meeting of the Scientific and Research Committee, the Administrative Head of the Academy, Nino Kobakhidze, presented a report on the 11th European Congress of Integrated Psychotherapy, planned for October 2023 in Tbilisi.
„Since 2020, the "International Academy of Mental Health and Integrated Psychotherapy" has been the only accredited psychotherapy training institute in Georgia.
The 2023 Annual Meeting ended with the following significant achievements for Georgian psychotherapy: Georgian representatives were awarded the European Accreditation Certificate of the International Academy of Mental Health and Integrated Psychotherapy (EAPTI), the transfer of which was delayed due to the pandemic. Anano Niauri, a member of the Board of the Georgian Federation of Psychotherapy, will continue to work in the Ethics Committee of the Association as a co-chair from 2023. The European Certificate of Psychotherapy (ECP) was awarded directly to the Administrative Head of the Academy, Georgian psychotherapist Nino Kobakhidze, for the first time.
„The International Academy of Mental Health and Integrated Psychotherapy thanks its European colleagues for their support of Georgian psychotherapy and continues its work to bring the field closer to European standards of psychotherapy.
The theme of the 2023 Congress was “Human Rights, Connection, and Diversity in Psychotherapy.”.
The congress was held as a result of the cooperation of the European Wide Accreditation Organization, the European Association for Integrative Psychotherapy, and the European Accredited Psychotherapy Training Institute – EAPTI International Academy of Mental Health and Integrative Psychotherapy.
Psychotherapists and representatives of psychotherapeutic organizations from 15 different European countries visited Georgia as part of the congress.
The following panels were presented at the congress: 1. Social Responsibility 2. Psychotrauma 3. Supervision
The Congress has a historical significance for the development of psychotherapy in the region, as it was held for the first time in the Caucasus region in the Georgian form. The European Scientific Congress is a turning point for the integration of psychotherapy with European standards and the worthy appearance of the Georgian flag in world scientific circles.
We are pleased to have created a space for interaction, dialogue and collaboration for Georgian and European specialists, which will have a long-term beneficial impact on the implementation of high educational, clinical and ethical standards in psychotherapy.
The International Academy of Mental Health and Integrative Psychotherapy thanks the congress supporters for their fruitful cooperation.
