RESUME EABP FORUM Executive Committee 2020
The EABP FORUM of Body Psychotherapy Organizations has been established to accredit (and re-accredit) Body Psychotherapy Training Institutes according to the EABP Training Standards, and to be home for all EABP organisational members. Accreditation and re-accreditation is done by a process of Self-Assessment and Mutual Recognition and then is endorsed by the Board of Directors.
Graduates of accredited EABP Training Institutes have a streamlined process to become individual members of the EABP.
The FORUM meets regularly in a city hosted by one of the Training Institutes. Members have lively exchanges of theory, practice and techniques and for many years the FORUM has been the centre of discussions about the “common ground” of body psychotherapy.
Accreditation takes place over a longer period. Two members from accredited Training Institutes in the FORUM, coming from different body psychotherapy backgrounds, visit the Training Institute over a period of two days. They write a report which is exchanged with the Training Institute and discussed in a meeting of the FORUM. The accreditation is then voted on.
The FORUM elects a representative who is a fully voting member of the Board.
A written report of the activities of the FORUM (about the training organisations assessed and the process of assessment) is presented to each General Assembly.
