A financial year runs from July 1 until June 30 of the next year. When joining EARTh, the membership dues will be payable for the remaining months of our financial year. The invoice is dated the month you join, not the payment date. For example, if you join in February, we will bill you for the five reamaining months.
The admission procedure is as follows :
• Professional membership
• Certified membership
• Student membership
Professional Membership
If you apply for membership and you have graduated from one of the recognized training programs click here for the list, you will be accepted as a Professional Member without further screening.
If you have received your education, training and experience elsewhere, there are two alternative ways to apply:
A) Two professional or certified members who have been EARTh-members for at least one year, and are from different schools, should recommend you by properly signing the standard text which will be provided by the Membership Committee. The recommending members have to declare they have seen your work, they consider you to have sufficient training and experience, to have a professional attitude and to be of good standing.
Please provide names and e-mail addresses of two EARTh-members who will recommend you, in the “Remarks” part of the membership form.
On receiving the signed recommendation letters, you may be accepted as a professional member.
B) In the absence of such recommending EARTh members, your application will be screened by the Membership Committee (please see the Admission Criteria). In order to judge your competence as a therapist, the Membership Committee requests the following materials and documents:
1. Information about your relevant training (where, when, with whom, how long), curriculum and graduation criteria and copies of certificates or diplomas.
2. Video or audio recordings of two sessions (click here for technical requests), together with the transcripts of the sessions. Send, as an attachment to each transcription, a short summary about the presenting problems and/or the symptoms and the reason why the client decided to seek your help, as well as the result of the session with a short personal comment.
If the language used in the sessions is not English or one of the currently available screening languages (German, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, French and Turkish) you must translate the transcription of session recordings to English.
3. Your answers in English to the Questionnaire (you can download the
Questionnaire here). If you like, Membership Committee can send
this text to you, as well.
Within two months of receiving the requested material, two arbiters who speak the language on the tapes will evaluate your session recordings, their transcriptions and questionnaire answers. They will report their decision to the membership committee and the Board.
Upon their approval, you may be accepted as a professional member.
