What future for the statutory title of psychotherapist and equity related securities (zootherapist therapist with the horse ...)? Part 2
As agreed, following the adventures of the legal status of psychotherapist ... and certainly not the end ...
B. The joint committee adopted January 31, 2007 Amendments 28 and 28 sexius septius, replacing amendments 104 and 105.
Following the parliamentary shuttle [1] , amendments 104 and 105 adopted by the National Assembly were rejected by the Senate. The government has decided to convene a joint committee [2] . The latter drew up amendments 28 and 28 sexius septius.
The amendments to section 52 by amendments 28 and 28 sexius septius are:
1 - On the question of the title of psychotherapist:
- Use the title of psychotherapist is for professionals enrolled in the National Register of Psychotherapists
- Psychotherapists are not members of the list at the end of professional training required by the commission, this training should match, in any event - that which will be given to future psychotherapists.
- Registration is recorded on a list compiled by the State representative in the department of their professional residence. [3]
-This listing is right for a diploma of doctor of medicine and persons authorized to use the title of psychologist.
- To register on the departmental list professionals do not enjoy a registration law but with at least three years professional experience as a psychotherapist in full-time or full-time equivalent must obtain authorization of a regional commission.
2 - On the role and composition of the Credentials Committee
- Psychotherapists are not members of law [4] from the list of professionals who can use the title of psychotherapist with at least 3 years of service must submit their application to a regional board composed of members of law;
- Depending on individual experience, the regional commission will adjust the level of training that will follow the pretender to the registration. Then, it will allow him to get on the departmental list. Disputes will be handled by a national commission
- The national commission and regional commissions are composed of persons meeting the requirements of members: doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists
3 - On the training content
It will therefore take place within the University or within an organization approved by the State.
Fate of Amendments 28 and 28 sexius septius? A decree in Conseil d'Etat had to specify the procedures for purposes of this section regarding:
- Conditions for both theory and practical instruction in clinical psychopathology by a higher education institution or a body approved by the State,
- Training conditions that should have followed those who want recognition.
But the parliamentary Labour Party tabled an appeal February 14, 2007 with the Constitutional Council arguing that the amendments constituted a "legislative rider" (amendment unrelated legislation before Parliament) which had to be censored. 19 The same month, the Constitutional Council tidying behind this analysis: "Articles 35 and 36 of the Act referred is no link whatsoever with the provisions contained in the project which it was formed, so they been decided upon in a conflict with the Constitution. "
This victory, which is a parliamentarian, the Socialist Party left the vacuum running legal ... a purely political victory ...
C. Proposed orders under section 52 of June 2008.
Its contents:
- The training provided to non-members psychotherapists of law will be issued by universities (public or private approved).
- The theoretical training will consist of 400 hours and a practicum for a minimum of 5 months, divisible, in a health facility or a nursing home welcoming patients psychopathology.
- A "grandfather clause" is intended for psychotherapists practicing for at least 3 years
- The commission, whose jurisdiction is not yet clear who will review the records of psychotherapists are each composed of "six qualified personalities named, six alternates, all listed right on the departmental list under the third paragraph of Article 52 of the Act of August 9, 2004 and appointed by the aforementioned state representative in the region or Mayotte, which are chosen for their expertise in the areas of training and professional experience in health. Its members are appointed for a term of three years renewable once. "
So, psychotherapists' self-proclaimed "will not be part of committees to review their case.
- Obligation for ALL professionals, including members (doctors, psychologists, psychoanalysts) to provide certification training in clinical psychopathology scheduled for psychotherapists non-members. In other words, the professionals 'right' psychotherapists are so only if they have the same training as psychotherapists not right ... You'll understand that nothing is to be "right" ...
In the third and last part, I will try to gather the opinions and positions of the main unions of psychologists and psychotherapists ...

Hopefully this is, indeed, not on this draft decree that will end the debate, and that a more suitable text can still see the day ...
Section 2 is an aberration of the most complete: the legislative part provides that the title of psychotherapist will be given the right to some professionals, and now announces that the regulatory part of these members of law must, in addition to supporting a training in psychotherapy required of all candidates for the title, also provide evidence of their inital training! In other words, there may be a member of law and enjoy the privileges of ordinary members only on condition of being an ordinary member and demonstrate that also has a background in something else! We walk on the head ...
And besides that, it suffices to first-psychotherapist Tarot reader installed to their account for at least three years to justify that he has worked under the name of psychotherapist for 3 years to get the sesame! This is probably a joke ...
And with all that, after proposing not to turn specify the training required, and then proposed to have 100 hours of training in psychopathology, and 400 + 5-month internship, and then provide a training program that does not form expertise but an acquaintance, and after entrusting these courses at the universities, all hay leads to what? The fact that in the end, it will be a County Committee to decide whether so and so is psychotherapist.
And it is almost full when we hear the legislature announce that these Committees will be assigned to members of rights (that is to say to people who are a priori not psychotherapists trained in psychotherapy!) specifically chosen by a prefect, which means that the State will select indirectly and in each case which may be a psychotherapist or not ...
Now how this debate could have any impact on the outcome of animal therapists in mediation, the question may remain open. But I believe this is does not change anything.
