Psychotherapy supervision, now well over a century in the making, has long been and continues to be regarded as a crucial component of the psychotherapy education process. We aim through EAIP Supervision Course Accreditation to set a standard of excellence for the traning of integrative supervisors across Europe. Our standards and regulations have been established over time to regulate and uphold professionalism within the area of integrative psychotherapy.  The EAIP Integrative Supervision Training Curriculum provides a consistent minimum standard to which integrative supervisors should be trained and offers training providers a curriculum framework for establishing a comprehenisve course, whilst reflecting the supervision competences and detailing the topics needed for supervision training. The curriculum is indicative rather than prescriptive, recognising that trainers will need to adapt it to their setting and their students.

The supervision training course should:

– Include both theoretical teaching and supervised supervision or experiential or live supervision.

– Provide a minimum of 80 hours teaching relating to an integrative approach to supervision.
