Synopsis

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.

About this title

Review:

EuroPsy clearly and succinctly describes the development of EuroPsy as the governing framework for psychology as a profession in Europe. [It] is a valuable illustration of the importance of working across borders. I recommend this book for anyone involved in the practice of psychology or the education of psychologists. This book is not just relevant for psychologists who are considering licensure and practice within a specific European country, but for all those involved with university curriculum processes, program accreditation, and state psychology licensing boards.;Sherri McCarthy in PsycCRITIQUES (May 25, 2015), 60 (21)
