The founding associations:

• Report on NEAPCCP's development during its first year of formation
  The Swiss Board Members report that two letters of invitation were sent out by the secretariate all over Europe to adresses available.
  NEAPCCP so far has 16 members out of 11 countries. The documents of each applicant were checked by two Board Members. Some of them have to send some more documents. Two associations applied for membership recently (PCAIF France, LGwG Luxembourg). A couple of organisations will apply for membership soon (among them HAPCPM Hungary, AFCACP France), others think about it (PCT Scotland, "Forum" Austria).
  Personal contacts will be made by members with other associations; another letter of invitation will be sent.
  Contributions to the homepage of the Network (www.pfs.kabelnet.at — now: www.pce-europe.org) are most welcome. Data of events, informations etc. should be sent to Peter F. Schmid (pfs@pfs-online.at).

• Reports by the present NEAPCCP members
  Among the reports were considerations on the present situation concerning health insurance policies (Austria, Czech Republic, Netherlands), the foundation of two new French associations (AFPAPC, AFCAPC), the problem of accreditating in Britain (2 accrediting bodies, one discouraging PCA people), the oncoming abolition of the profession of psychotherapists in the Netherlands by law, the tension between the understanding of counselling and psychotherapy in a whole string of countries, the oncoming jubilee of the German speaking associations APG, GwG, ÖGwG and SGGT in the year 2000 etc.

• Reports on contacts, made or to be made, with EAP, ECP and WAPCCP
  Paulus Wacker reported on his contacts with EAP. The NEAPCCP is a member of EAP since January as EWO (European Wide Organization) and will become an EWAO (European Wide Awarding Association) from October 10, 1999 (relevant for the ECP, the European Certificate for Psychotherapy). A paper with the answers to 15 questions by EAP was written by Helmut Spielhofer and translated into English. The reaction was very positive as the letter of recommendation shows (click here for the answering letter by the EAP).
  Contacts with EAC were initiated and will be intensified.
  Peter F. Schmid reported on the development of the World Association (WAPCCP) which will have its next General Assembley in Chicago, June 2000, on the ocassion of the 5th International Conference (ICCCEP). The World Association invites into its membership both, individuals and organizations, institutes etc. Flyers are available. All associations are asked to distribute it and inform in their journals and mailings.
  The General Assembly decided to join WAPCCP as a member (consensus).

• Bylaws
  A proposal by Peter F. Schmid on behalf of the Board was discussed and slightly altered in some parts. After a discussion the General Assembly voted unanimously not to include the possibility of divisions (sections, branches) for the time being. The former Statutes and essential parts of the proposal for Bylaws are put together in new Statutes. These and the new Bylaws were accepted on consensus.

• Financial statement 1999 and budget 2000
  Expenses 1999 (office, postage, material, telephone, membership EAP) are EUR 2699, 62; receipts EUR 2100 (membership fees). To meet the balance the membership fee 1999 is increased from EUR 100 / 200 / 300 to EUR 130 / 260 / 390.
  The budget 1999 has expenses of EUR 3743,71 and receipts of EUR 2500. To meet the balance the membership fee for 2000 will be EUR 150 / 300 / 450. Until the next general Assembly the admission fee for new members will be EUR 130.

• the booklet of the EAP with a short description of all the methods (for Person-Centred Psychotherapy an article was written by Peter F. Schmid: you can read it here)
• the Patients' Charter for Persons in Psychotherapy (from the Fédération Française de Psychothérapie, FFP, Paris: www.psychotherapie.asso.fr)
• the Memorandum on Terrorism of the EAP and the setting up of a committee against terrorism etc.
• the AGM and the 10th Congress of the EAP and the Russian umbrella association (PPL) in Russia
• the EAP Congress in Frankfurt on October 2001

9.  NEAPCEPC’s membership of the EAC
Paulus Wacker reported: The NEAPCEPC finally became an Affiliated Member of the European Association for Counselling (EAC). The affiliated membership was chosen because a full membership would have been too costly.

10. Co-operation with the World Association
• The importance and concept of the new Journal of the WAPCEPC (click here for information) were presented and the Members were invited to support the efforts for membership which is the financial basis for the journal.
• The next World Conference (6th PCE-Conference) will take place in Noorwijkerhout, The Netherlands, July 6-11, 2003 (click here for information)
• The address of the new website of WAPCEPC with comprehensive information and hundreds of links to PC information in the web all over the world is: www.pce-world.org.

11. Training standards in Europe
There was a discussion on two levels: 
Firstly there was agreement that the statement in the Statutes (IV.2) should not be altered: "As far as psychotherapy /counselling, according to the EAP (European Association for Psychotherapy) / EAC (European Association for Counselling) regulations, is concerned, members acknowledge the standards of the EAP / EAC and, if not yet met, aim towards fulfilling them within a given period of time." It was consensus on not imposing common standards on the Members.
Secondly there was a discussion on collecting the 'philosophical' principles of person-centered training. A draft was made formulating "Principles for person-centred and experiential training and further training in psychotherapy and counselling". It was slightly altered and unanimously accepted by the GA (1 abstention for formal reasons.)
Read the text here.

12. Acknowledgement of (parts of) training by other countries
The 1990 declaration of GwG, ÖGwG, APG, UGwG, ACCT, VRT and SGGT should be replaced (on request of the SGGT). A new agreement should be made by those Members of the Network who want to in order to facilitate the process of acknowledgment of the entire training or individual components of the training for individuals changing their residence.
The following text was accepted as a proposal to the Members:

"The representatives of the associationsinstitutions in the Network come to the following agreement:
In case of a change of residence completed trainings or individual components of trainings in Person-Centred Psychotherapy will be recognised reciprocally if
- the conditions for participation of the training as recognised by the association of the new country of residence and
- the entire training or individual components of trainings are compatible with the training curriculum of the association in the new country."

13. Research collaboration in Europe
Information is being collected from the Members about research (not only quantitative and empirical research but also qualitative research) and should be sent to Roelf J. Takens.

14. Promoting person-centred and experiential therapy and counselling in Europe
See 13.
In addition there was the suggestion (Anne Wunderle) of a working group on how to respond to things that are going on in the world from a person-centred perspective.

16. Celebration of Rogers' 100th birthday in the year 2002
• Elisabeth Zinschitz informs about the preparational work for the subsymposium of the 3rd World Conference for Psychotherapy (3rd WCP). There will be five keynote speakers in the mornings: Howard Kirschenbaum, Maureen O'Hara, Dave Mearns, Wolfgang Keil, Peter F. Schmid. (More information is available here). In the afternoon there will be presentations. In a pre-symposium workshop the approach will be presented.
• The 'Carl Rogers Symposium 2002 - His Life, Our Work, A Global Vision' will take place in La Jolla, California, July 24-28, 2002 (click here for more information on diverse activities re the anniversary).

19. Common German and French name for the approach (SGGT/SPCP)
Anne Wunderle reports that the SGGT wants to change its name and wants to know where the international development is going to. In a separate meeting of representatives of different German speaking associations during the GA she found out that, although "Gesprächspsychotherapie" and "klientenzentriert" are still used the trend goes towards "personzentriert". Thus she will propose to her association to change the name in this way.

18. The next (5th) General Assembly will take place in Vienna, Friday to Sunday, July 12-14, 2002
It was decided that the 6th GA in the year 2003 will take place in Holland. VVCgp will host. It will take place after the PCE Conference in Noordwijkerhout, Friday to Sunday, July 11- 13.

Summary of the Meeting
by Peter F. Schmid

Cooperation with the World Association (WAPCEPC)

Two major issues:
The PCE Conference 2003 will be in Egmond aan Zee, the theme is 'Process Differentiation and Person-Centeredness', keynote speakers will be Leslie Greenberg, Dave Mearns, Rainer Sachse, Peter F. Schmid, Hans Swildens. Members of the World Association get a discount of 50 EUR. More information.

      The new Journal PCEP (Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapies) will start in November 2002 with a special double inaugural issue. More information.

Acknowledgement of (parts of) training programs by other countries

(1991 Männedorf declaration)

A working agreement was made that the declaration on mutual recognition of trainings as spelled out last year (see above) will have the following preamble: 'The Members of the Network agree that the following applies to members providing and/or recognising training programmes.'

Information about the different laws or non laws for Psychotherapy in European countries

There are already laws in Austria, Germany, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands. All other countries prepare laws. Helpful information can be obtained from the associations of the countries mentioned.

Discussion about possibilities to further promote person-centred and experiential therapy and counselling in Europe, the future of the Network and research collaboration in Europe

A list of ongoing research projects in Europe was distributed at the meeting.

3 projects arose out of the discussion re the future of the Network:

a project on xenophobia and related issues in Europe in the tradition of Rogerian cross-cultural communication with in-depth studies, a study conference and maybe to make it the topic of the year of European associations in two years from now as we see ourselves as experts on the field of facilitating understanding (media, p.r., politics, publication, local journals, PCEP)

The Network of the European Associations (NEAPCEPC) would like to work on the topic of the strength and the importance and political relevance of the person-to-person relationship. The Members of the Network invite individual members and organisations to join forces to gather knowledge and questions and find out if there is interest to make a project with possible societal and ecological repercussions such as a statement / conference on the valuing of the individual person and the necessity of mutual interconnectedness. It wants to study and look at the possibilities to work with the dangers of xenophoba, the power of fear for the unknown, for the unfamiliar and the like. A first coming together is scheduled at the World Conference in the Netherlands 2003. Meanwhile the person to contact about the topic is the secretary of the Board (secretary@pce-europe.org).

  find out how the member associations could support each other (e.g. help with supervision in countries where the associations are in a state of initial development)

to facilitate the interest of people on common projects (e.g. sexual abuse)

Programme

 We propose to discuss the following topic as formulated in Vienna 2002:
"The NEAPCEPC would like to work on the topic of the strength and the importance and political relevance of the person-to-person relationship. The members of the NEAPCEPC invite to join forces to gather knowledge and questions and find out if there is any interest to make a project with possible societal and ecological repercussions such as a statement/conference on the valuing of the individual person, the necessity of the mutual interconnectedness. It wants to study and look at the possibilities to work with the danger of xenophobia, the power of fear for the unknown, the unfamiliar and the like."

Summary of the Meeting
by Peter F. Schmid

NEAPCEPC now is a full member of EAC.

  The advantages of membership in the NEAPCEPC were discussed and proposals for further facilitation put forward -
among others: international exchange of information, ideas, developments, tasks and problems, exchange about research, training and practice; European-wide accreditation (e.g. EWAO) which also helps the national organizations to be accredited; the possibility for members to get the European Certificate (ECP); mutual support; promotion of PCE; support concerning (training) standards; help to establish a European person-centered and experiential community; political tasks; help in concrete affairs; information about PCE contacts in the European countries.

Possible further enterprises: mention of membership on websites, letterheads, certificates etc.; list of therapists belonging to the member organizations on the website, also enumerating the languages; annual symposium combined with the GA with a keynote lecture and free participation of the members of the member associations; seminar on methodological research; evaluation of conferences; organization of a European event or meeting; exchange of workshops/language (resources); publication of training curricula; reaching out for countries where there is no association yet.

As a consequence the following projects will be organized:

  Concrete projects:

1. From 2004 on we will have an Annual Symposium of the European Network

These half-day symposia will be free of charge for the people attending; the hosting association will propose the program including a keynote speaker to the Board which needs to agree. If there were costs they also need to be negotiated with the Board.

The first symposium will be on Saturday, July 3, 2004 during the 7th General Assembly of the NEAPCEPC (July 2-4, Dijon, France): this 1st Annual Symposium of the European Network will be on the topic of the strength and the importance and political relevance of the person-to-person relationship (see above)

2. New information to go on the website as soon as a available:

• Links to lists of therapists and counsellors of the member associations

• Training standards

• Projects

• Codes of Ethics

• Languages of therapists and counsellors

• Workshops of international interest

3. Direct information to the single members of the member associations in form of a letter from NEAPCEPC. The first issue will inform about what they get from the Network. It will be translated and sent out in English and the respective local language. All languages will be available.

4. The delegates declare the intention that the membership associations include the mention of their membership in the Network in their formal letterheads, websites, certificates and the like and that a formal vote will be taken on the issue next year. Each member association is invited to include these informations as soon as they want. (Unanimously accepted.)
