The European Association for Gestalt Therapy (EAGT) was founded in 1985, with the aim of gathering to-gether European individual Gestalt therapists, Training Institutes and National Associations, of promoting Gestalt therapy in Europe, combining and exchanging knowledge and resources, fostering a high professional standard for Gestalt therapy and encouraging research. Today over 600 members (institutional and individual) from more than 20 European Nations are already part of the association. EAGT is an EWAO; which means an European Wide Accrediting Organization and as such a member of EAP (European Association for Psy-chotherapy).
