Abstract:

The professional situation of psychotherapists is different in each major European country. The kinds of psychotherapy that are practised also vary significantly. The potential demand for psychotherapy seems likely to grow in the future, with even more psychotherapists receiving training. The European Association for Psychotherapy has established a common set of training standards that could be adopted throughout Europe in the future. These concern the theoretical, clinical and ethical training of therapists, irrespective of their professional background or the kind of psychotherapy they practice. Common standards are likely to assist efforts to align the provision of psychotherapy with demand. Despite growing support for this project, it is a considerable way from political acceptance.
