Psychotherapy and Counselling Union (PCU). It can be useful to students, members and staff who are involved in disputes or grievances. Support other therapists in difficulty: Member support and representation is a central part of PCU's work: this can involve difficulties in the workplace (e.g. disciplinary processes, grievances, bullying, changes to terms and conditions), on training courses or placements, or client complaints. You will be supported with advice, guidance and peer support, and we plan to develop specialist training in this area.
Memorandum of Understanding Against Conversion Therapy. The BPC is a signatory of the MoU and it is good to know about it. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is a joint document signed by over 25 health, counselling and psychotherapy organisations which aims to end the practice of conversion therapy in the UK. Check it here. Conversion therapy is the term for therapy that assumes certain sexual orientations or gender identities are inferior to others, and seeks to change or suppress them on that basis. The 2017 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) makes it clear that conversion therapy in relation to gender identity and sexual orientation (including asexuality) is unethical, potentially harmful and is not supported by evidence. It updates the 2015 version released at the Department of Health, which focused exclusively on sexual orientation.
APPCIOS is an independent professional association providing accreditation, validation and a professional network for psychodynamic practitioners working within organisational settings in a variety of professional roles. BCA is an APPCIOS member affiliate.
