organisation
The World Association for Person-Centered & Experiential Psychotherapy & Counseling had its genesis in the mid 1990s after person-centred theoreticians and practitioners felt there was not an adequate representation of the PCA at the First World Conference on Psychotherapy (WCP) in July 1996.
Nearly 25 years since it was officially formed, our desire remains to be an identifiable, international organization serving as a world-wide forum.
