Network for Psychotherapeutic Care in Europe

making Psychotherapy more visible

The search for the best strategies for the provision of psychotherapeutic care will concern all European health systems equally, for it must be their goal to offer quality-assured care for mentally ill people and to no longer accept the existing gaps in care provision. In order to include psychotherapeutic expertise sufficiently in the process, those who are employed in the field of psychotherapy in Europe should work more closely together.

The Network for Psychotherapeutic Care  in Europe is a joined effort of representatives of psychotherapeutic care form various european countries who want to profit from the experience and expertise of all those who are largely or exclusively employed in psychotherapy within their health care systems.
