Association for the Advancement of Psychotherapy

About This Association

The Division of Psychotherapy was founded in 1968 by a group of leading psychotherapists to advance the science, teaching, and practice of psychotherapy. Our name was changed to the Society for the Advancement of Psychotherapy in 2014. A strong voice for psychotherapy and home for psychotherapists, the Society for the Advancement of Psychotherapy is committed to preserving and expanding the theoretical and evidentiary base for psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic relationships, supporting life-long learning of psychotherapeutic skills, as well as making the benefits of psychotherapy accessible to all. The Society is an international community of practitioners, scholars, researchers, teachers, health care specialists, and students who are interested in and devoted to the advancement of the practice and science of psychotherapy. Our mission is to provide an active, diverse, and vital community and to generate, share, and disseminate the rapidly accumulating evidence base in clinical science and practice.
