The ''United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy'' (UKCP) is a national professional association of psychotherapy organisations and practitioners in the United Kingdom. It exists to "promote and maintain the profession of psychotherapy and the highest standards in the practice of psychotherapy throughout the United Kingdom, for the benefit of the public."〔UKCP (15 March 2009), (Press release: "UK Council for Psychotherapy appoints new Chief Executive" ) Retrieved 7 July 2012〕 Only psychotherapists or psycho-therapeutic counselors who meet UKCP's training requirements and abide by its ethical guidelines are included in its online "Register of Psychotherapists". Established in 1993, UKCP has evolved into a national umbrella organisation for most major psycho-therapeutic modalities. As of 2012, there are more than 70 member organisations representing all the main traditions in the practice of psychotherapy. The council is run by a Board of Trustees that is elected by the council's members. A number of subcommittees, including the ethics committee and committees responsible for UKCP's relations with other bodies such as the National Health Service (NHS) and the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE), report directly to the Board of Trustees. UKCP also represents the United Kingdom in the European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP) – a Vienna-based umbrella organisation which sets standards for equivalence of training and practice throughout Europe — and is part of the National Awarding Organization (NAO) overseeing the European Certificate of Psychotherapy (ECP) award in the UK. ==Objectives== According to its official website, the UKCP's objectives are: *To promote the art and science of psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic counselling for the public benefit *To promote research in psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic counselling, and to disseminate the results of any such research *To promote high standards of education, training and practice in psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic counselling *To promote the wider provision of psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic counselling for all sections of the public 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
