Standards and Quality in Education for Professional Psychologists

The only comprehensive professional handbook on Euro Psy, 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. Euro Psy 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 Euro Psy up, is the only comprehensive text available about this European benchmark. It first reviews the development of Euro Psy 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 Euro Psy 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 Euro Psy in psychology in Europe, including practical examples of how Euro Psy has been applied in practice.
