Welcome to the World Federation for Psychotherapy

The World Federation for Psychotherapy (WFP) is an organization of national, regional, and school-oriented psychotherapy societies.  Its goals are to facilitate and promote international communication among the various schools, professional groups and cultures within psychotherapy. To fulfill these goals, the WFP organizes international congresses and conferences on psychotherapy. Additionally, the WFP promotes the development of psychotherapy in practice, teaching and research and encourages and supports appropriate standards in the practice of psychotherapy.
