EuroPsy (ePub)

The only comprehensive professional handbook on EuroPsy, the European standard
and benchmark for education and training in psychology. This book is mandatory
reading for anyone involved with accreditation, education, quality assurance, and
assessment of standards in psychology.
EuroPsy has been accepted and adopted as the European standard for education
and training in psychology by EFPA. This book, written by its initiator and leading
members of the working groups that set EuroPsy up, is the only comprehensive
text available about this European benchmark. It first reviews the development
of EuroPsy in the historical context of psychology as science and profession and
policies for higher education set by international bodies, and in particular the
European Union.
This handbook then goes on to address the curricula of university courses and
programmes following from the Bologna Agreement, the flexibility allowed to
reflect diversity in Europe, licencing and accreditation, and benchmarking, as well
as other prerequisites for meeting the EuroPsy standards. These include the use
of a competence model to assure professional standards, supervision, continued
professional development, supervision, and ethics. Finally, the authors examine
the current and future role of EuroPsy in psychology in Europe, including practical
examples of how EuroPsy has been applied in practice.
