Once a member is credentialed, what must he or she do to maintain credentialing?
The American Psychotherapy Association places a high priority on continuing education, and once a member is credentialed by the American Psychotherapy Association, either through the successful completion of one of our programs or the Diplomate program, he or she must maintain membership in the American Psychotherapy Association and is expected to complete a minimum of 15 hours of related continuing education per year to maintain the credential. The American Psychotherapy Association offers appropriate professional continuing education opportunities through its national and regional conferences and though journal learning articles in its peer-reviewed publication Annals of the American Psychotherapy Association. The American Psychotherapy Association also accepts appropriate continuing education from other equivalent organizations.
