The British Psychoanalytic Council was inaugurated in September 1993. It's main aim is to protect the public by the promotion of rigorous standards of selection, training and codes of practice. To achieve this it has completed a register of twelve psychoanalytic psychotherapy organisations and their members which meet the criteria recognised by the BPC as of sufficiently high standard to justify membership. The APP has played an active role in setting up and supporting the Council and its aims.
This European wide organisation of psychoanalytic psychotherapists now has 12,500 members in some 23 countries. The main aims of the EFPP are to provide a European wide umbrella of national networks to protect and promote the development of quality psychoanalytic psychotherapy and its applications especially in the public sector. The EFPP is a thriving organisation with a number of activities that will interest APP members and others interested in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The EFPP has three sections:- Adult psychoanalytic psychotherapy; Child and adolescent psychoanalytic psychotherapy and Group psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Its conferences, such as the recent one "On Dreams in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy" have become very well known for their quality and friendliness, and also for the forums within the conferences that are created for international exchanges within our field. The EFPP web site has information on EFPP clinical monograph publications, the EFPP annual Newsletter and forthcoming EFPP conferences. The EFPP is actively engaging with Eastern and Central European countries as they develop or consolidate psychoanalytic psychotherapy training and services.
