General Practise Psychotherapy Assoc

The General Practice Psychotherapy Association (GPPA) is a non-profit professional association of physicians, organized to: Develop and protect standards of practice of psychotherapy by physicians. Provide opportunities for physicians to train in psychotherapy, to interact in various educational modalities, and to gain support and feedback in their practice of psychotherapy. Protect the right of physicians to provide psychotherapeutic care to their patients.Please note that the GPPA is an organization of physicians who are responsible to the College of Physicians and Surgeons in the province in which they practise. These Colleges control the licensing of physicians and answer to the public on matters of competence and behaviour. The GPPA offers education and support to members, but has no disciplinary function and therefore does not have the power to investigate or act in any way in a complaint against a member. For confidentiality reasons any questions about a member's training, qualifications or experience must be directed to that physician and not to the GPPA
