Commentary on the Act on the Profession of Psychotherapist and the Professional Self-Government (Coalition for Psychotherapy)
Description:
The Policy Brief prepared by the Coalition for Psychotherapy (SWPS University, Jagiellonian University, University of Warsaw, Institute of Psychology of the Polish Academy of Sciences) outlines proposed changes aimed at increasing the quality, safety, and effectiveness of psychotherapy in Poland. It advocates basing practice on three core sources of knowledge: scientific research, clinical experience, and patients' needs and values. The document provides key recommendations for psychotherapist training, outcome monitoring, and research funding, emphasizing that the lack of coherent standards can limit treatment effectiveness and compromise the safety of individuals seeking psychological help.
We invite you to listen to the main tenets of this document and join the expert discussion on the topic.
