The European Association for Psychotherapy calls upon the Russian Government to immediately cease the invasion of Ukraine; stop the war; respect the law of nations; and bring back all Russian troops and weapons to their home country.

It is our view as Psychotherapists that a military invasion never solves problems, and never achieves its intended aims. Instead it creates immense damage, and causes destruction on many levels which can reverberate through the generations. This includes the personal suffering and deep trauma of both families and individuals at somatic, mental and emotional levels. Psychotherapists are committed to peaceful negotiation, dialogue and debate in conflict resolution, and we condemn war and violence. We call upon the Russian Government to stop the war, and establish peace through diplomacy in a thoughtful and mutually respectful manner.

We hope that the highest principles of the human spirit will prevail, and with all our hearts we wish that a resolution can be found which will restore freedom.

As a visitor and evaluator I see Psychocorrection and Psychodiagnostic House Dendroni and The International Academy of integrative psychotherapy, which is a part of Dendroni as a very professional organization which provides training of integrative psychotherapy with high standards.

In today's modern world, the role of psychotherapy is clearly demonstrated in practically all areas of human activity. For many reasons psychotherapy as profession and ethical practice is purely developed in Georgia. It was necessary to establish effective organization in order to change this situation and raise accessibility to the high quality, valid knowledge and practice. On September 27, 2011 was created Georgan Federation for Psychotherapy Dendroni as an Non- Government Organization. The head of organization is Maia Begashvili, the first owner of ECP - International certificate of psychotherapy in Georgia. She is a psychotherapist with medical education (the owner of state and European recognition in psychotherapy), Multimodal, the psychotherapist of Professional Psychotherapists league of Europe, neurologist, PhD student in psychiatry at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University. Today Dendroni has a team with highly qualified specialists, who possess European recognition in the field of psychotherapy:

Dendron is the first and only organizational member of the European Association for Psychotherapy (https://www.europsyche.org/ )from Georgia and All Caucasus (Applicant since 2013, a full member since 2014).

The organization pursues its goals and objectives in accordance with the EAP Code of Ethics and introduces the fundamental principles of the European Psychotherapy School in our country.  It has invited member status at all congresses and conferences of the association, also access to its scientific and educational bases. Dendroni is constantly working on improving professional qualification and development of the specialist in the field, which stipulates its place as the main sectoral organization in Georgia. For this purpose, it organizes training sessions that are managed by certified international class specialists with a competent authority in Europe (European wide Accrediting Organization).

The EAP disposes of a data base as a central information base on psychotherapy for the European Union, governments, public authorities, and other organizations. It is a NGO that aims to unite psychotherapy organizations into a common association, and organizes individual psychotherapists of different orientations in Europe on the basis of the “Strasbourg Declaration of Psychotherapy 1990”. The EAP is a founding member and active part in the World Council for Psychotherapy (WCP). The EAP has established a European-Certificate of Psychotherapy whose target goal is mutual recognition and equal conduct of psychotherapy in Europe. Based on the "Strasbourg Declaration on Psychotherapy of 1990" the EAP represents high training standards for a scientifically based and stands for a free and independent practice of psychotherapy.
