What is the Japanese Federation for Psychotherapy?

The Japanese Federation for Psychotherapy was established in 1997. Its members are all qualified and experienced mental health professionals holding recognized national licenses in Japan, including doctors, psychiatrists, psychiatric social workers and clinical psychologists.

The Japanese Federation for Psychotherapy is the nationwide awarding board for the Japanese Certificate for Psychotherapy which is an internationally recognized qualification for psychotherapists in Japan. Only mental health professionals who hold national licenses in Japan can be awarded the Japanese Certificate of Psychotherapy, and so be entitled as a Psychotherapist in Japan to offer psychotherapy services here.
