On March 12-15, 2025, the EAP Board and Committee meetings of the European Association for Psychotherapy were held in Vienna, Austria.
Traditionally, the Georgian psychotherapy community was represented at the meetings by delegates of the national psychotherapy umbrella - the Georgian Federation of Psychotherapy - and representatives of our Academy.
The Board meeting discusses important issues in the field of psychotherapy and makes governing decisions for the European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP).
The board members heard reports from the association's committees. They discussed the appropriateness of distance learning and the need for recommendations in this regard, the specifics of organizing standardized learning practices, and the curriculum and guidelines.
The Ethics Committee Working Group, consisting of Enver Cesco, Anano Niauri, Courtney Young, Jose Castillo, and Maria Cardin, has completed work on a new document: Ethics Guidelines for Organizations.
