Assessment Methods
this organization is in line with
EAIP criteria.
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.
Organizing the integrative psychotherapy in Georgia is a pioneering
work which can be admired.
The organization has many
strength; I would like to underline the following:
- Good organization of documents and students’ profiles.
- Highly qualified trainers.
- Good link with clinic, where students can have their psychotherapy practise.
- Motivated and integrated students.
- Insistence on high training standards according to EAIP and EAP.
- To understand this strength, I should explain the cultural context. There is nonregulated situation of psychotherapy in Georgia; the psychotherapy filed is as I learnt at young development stage of regulation. There is no law, and there is no Umbrella association of psychotherapy or National awarding organization, which could non- formally regulate the field of psychotherapy. There are different programmes offering training with lower standards then EAP, which presents struggle for Dendroni in terms of competing for getting students.
- Skilful and heart open managers of the training, creating good, creative and professional atmosphere for the students.
- Strong connectedness and support between managers, trainers, graduates and students.
Assessment Proposal
I propose the acceptance
to Full Membership of EAIP without requirements and offer the
recommendations below.
