As the year comes to a close, we would like to update you on EACLIPT's progress, inform you on our plans for the next year, and ask you to continue your support and contribution in 2023 - there's a lot ahead!
What we achieved so far: A brief narrative review.
Since EACLIPT was formed in 2017, we have had many achievements including:
Establishing the first open access journal in Clinical Psychology in Europe which most recently has been indexed in PubMed
Presenting the case for clinical psychology and psychotherapy in the European Parliament and advocating for a European Year for Mental Health together with GAMIAN and others
Establishing a successful webinar series on highly topical areas in mental health which attracts over 7000 viewers worldwide
Achieving a membership total of 800 clinical psychologists and psychotherapists across Europe, with members from all parts of Europe, from Lithuania to Portugal and Poland to the Netherlands
Organising three successful conferences offering an opportunity to connect and get up to date with the latest state of the art scientific developments in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy in Stockholm, Dresden and Warsaw. The last conference this November in Warsaw attracted over 140 members attending from 17 countries.
What's coming up now: A short primer.
On behalf of the board, we thank you very much for supporting EACLIPT in 2022. For the next year, we have much in planning:
Develop an up-to-date website
Organise a state-of-the-art mailing system so you get updates much more regularly
Organise ongoing webinars and networking events for you to meet fellow colleagues across Europe
Organise our next European conference
Increase our policy work and continue lobbying for Clinical Psychology on a European level
Our ambition is to become the European Association for Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy in Europe to ultimately have an even stronger impact and voice at an EU level. As a community of professionals and researchers, EACLIPT depends on the financial and social contribution of its members. Hence, we would appreciate your help in sharing the EACLIPT amongst your colleagues and raising awareness of EACLIPT in your country. We would also appreciate you paying a membership fee for 2022 if you have not already.
