The main aims of the Professional Associations, which are ruled by the public law, are the organization of the practice of the diverse professions, the exclusive representation and the defense of professional interests. The social change has boosted three different aspects: the quality of the service, the needed learning “during the whole professional life” and the certification. There are diverse examples of professional accreditation: the court-appointed counsels, the EUROPSY and the European certificate for all EFPA’s Experts on Psychotherapy. The contents and the phases of the curriculum are described, the continuous professional development (CPD) and the Certificate for the accreditation of the Psychologists specialists on psychotherapy.
