We are the plattform of national NLPt organizations, NLPt training institutes and neurolinguistic psychotherapists, integrating and respresenting NLPt in Europe.
We are the European wide accrediting
organisation (EWAO) for NLPt within
the European Association

Experienced NLP psychotherapists can get the ECP via the metacurriculum
through our grandparenting criteria.

History
The word Neuro-Linguistic Psychotherapy (NLPt) came frome of a discussion between Dr. Helmut Jelem, Wolfgang Karber † and Mag. Peter Schutz. They were searching for a word that would correctly represent, what the Austrian Training Center for NLP, had been doing since its beginning. The ATC had a 4 year Curriculum for Psychotherapy already 1986, the first research was started in 1993 and presented under Effects of NLPt at the World Congress for Psychotherapy in Vienna, 1996, by Mag. Martina Genser-Medlitsch.
Promote the psychotherapeutic application
of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Psychotherapy NLPt) in Europe as an accredited and
recognized method of
psychotherapy. Support high quality training standards for NLPt and represent
the method in the European Government bodies and within the
EAP. We also support the formation of a worldwide plattform for neurolistic
psychotherapy with highly respected standards and procedures. Since 3rd July
EANLPt is an accepted psychotherapeutic modality organization (EWAO) within
the European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP).
NLPt is a govrnment recognized psychotherapy method, in Italy since 2005, in Austria since 2007.
EAP EAPTI s exist in France and Belgium,
more to come.

When are the next Country board meetings/scientific congresses scheduled ?
Currently in keeping an
open EAP culture, the official EANLPt country board meetings are open for bona
fide NLPt therapists as observers, space permitting. A small fee my be charged
for the conference to cover location costs. If you are from one of the abovementioned
countries, please contact your local representative or contact us to get you
in contact with them. If there is no national organization or local representative,
we strongly encourage you to build up your National Association for NLPt and
become represented in the EANLPt.
For each country organization we have currently agreed on a financial contribution from each country € 1.000,- per year (if possible ), beginning 1998 to cover organizational expenses and research and start a European Journal for Neuro-Linguistic Psychotherapy. Lower rates apply to organizations from Eastern Europe. There is also an application fee of the same amount.
Yes! Individual Persons
with ECP / NLPt or equivalent may join (€ 500,-) with approval of the executive,
as well as accredited NLP training institutes (€ 1000,-).
Application fees apply.
We collect and document research, keep up an information
and research homepage in several languages, and assist each other in all relevant
agendas of legal and professional character. We also scout all European countries
where we are not yet represented to network NLPt-practitioners. As an EAP European
Wide Accrediting Organization we accredit training standards and Institutes
for NLPt on a high professional level in the interest of clients, consumers
and the good reputation of NLPt.
We also have a key role in supervising and forming
the EAP grandparenting process for
very experienced psychotherapists for the ECP in NLPt. There is a three year
transition phase for ECP grandparenting, (depending
when it started in your country).
If you are from one of the countries mentioned
above, please contact your local representative or contact us to get you in
contact with them.
If there is no national organization or local representative,
we strongly encourage you to be represented in the EANLPt.
The European association for Psychotherapy (EAP) is accrediting an European certificate for psychotherapy (ECP). The next step then will be lobbying through the European commission or the European Parliament for European Legislation on Psychotherapy. And this certificate will be the quality-standard-base fur such an Legislation. As consumer protection will be one of the major traits in the next decade, it is highly probable that such legislation is passed before 2018.
Since July 1999 EANLPt is a European wide awarding
oganisation (EWAO).
This means basically three things.
1. Politically we are accepted in EAP
2. Professionally Neurolinguistic psychotherapy is an accredited method of psychotherapy
3 .Organizationally. If a psychotherapist applies for his ECP, at his National Umbrella Organization, and states that NLPt is his modality, we will be asked if his training in NLPt is sufficient.
A:
Integrate all national relevant NLPt-therapists
and student NLPt therapists in good standing. The idea of NLPt is to integrate
NLP-professionals. Even if in "traditional NLP" there are the usual "tribal
wars of institutes" and primadonnas, NLPt is a chunk large enough to integrate
and cooperate. Using the grandparenting criteria,
to be found on our homepage.
B:
EANLPt accredits training programs and preaccredits
institutes for the EATI accreditation.
For being accredited by the training standards
committee, your need to have at least five teaching therapists (ECP level).
They must be in good standing in your psychotherapeutic community and have 5
years of teaching practice together.
Adherence to the metacurriculum
is necessary.
C:
Have different forms of membership, at least:
(possibly) teaching members:
Full members with very good psychotherapeutical
standing and at least 5 years of practice in teaching and training.
associate members:
Those who are in a training state towards that
qualification.
(possibly) supporting members:
Those who do not want to become NLPt therapists,
but support the aims of EANLPt.

The EAP (founded 1990)
(http://www.europsyche.org)
has consultative Status at the European Union. Its aim to establish psychotherapy
as a qualified profession all over Europe on the Basis of the Strasbourg
Declaration.
The EAP is the European Association for Psychotherapy. Individual membership and organizational membership is possible
|
The EANLPt has been accepted
as an EWO since December 1997 and as an EWAO since July 1999.
3 accredited Institutes
also are EAPTIs, so ECPs can be awarded directly.
The EANLPt is an EWAO in
the EAP representing the modality of Neuro-Linguistic psychotherapy.
Our President, Dr. Catalin Zaharia currently is member of the strategy and research
committee.
Peter Schütz
(GS) is a member of the GAP.
If a National psychotherapy organization may recommend an ECP to an European NLP-Therapist, the EANLPt standards committee or its delegated body/person has to be asked for approval.
