Becoming a member

As an individual member of EFTA, you may benefit as follows:

- A reduction on conference fees for the international conference organised by EFTA every three years;
- The publication of your details in the EFTA Directory which comes out every eighteen months;
- The publication of your details in the data-base of members of EFTA-CIM on the web site;
- An electronic Newsletter, published periodically;
- The European Family Therapy Passport which offers access to periods of training in centres that are participating in the programme;
- Information about the European Certificate of Psychotherapy, of the European Association for Psychotherapy, with which EFTA has the 'special relationship' for recommending family therapists. 

This is how to become an individual member of EFTA. 

1) Send a membership application form (downloadable below) which includes the following:
- Proof of family therapy training with a minimum of 500 hours in a period of at least 3 years developing theory, training seminars and supervision;
- A recommendation from a professional person other than your trainers confirming your work with families (for example a senior person in your institution, association department, etc., in which you work, or some other person who agrees to be your referee and who, if possible, is already a member of EFTA),
- A detailed curriculum vitae
- A joining fee of €38.00 for the administrative work.

2) The completed membership application is reviewed by the Accreditation Committee which meets twice a year.  This examines the file and makes a decision.

3) When your application has been accepted, you become an effective member and are due to pay the annual subscription of €70.00 (currently).  Given that membership of the association is by application, this subscription is due each year.  In the event of non-payment, a new application to re-join has to be made.
