There are 32 member associations of EFPPA representing about 180,000 psychologists. The member organisations of EFPPA are concerned with promoting and improving psychology as a profession and as a discipline, particularly, though not exclusively, in applied settings and with emphasis on the training and research associated with such practice. The psychologists in the member associations include practitioners as well as academic and research psychologists. The Federation has as one of its goals the integration of practice with research and the promotion of an integrated discipline of psychology.

The European Federation of Professional Psychologists Associations was founded in 1981,

The Federation Web site includes the useful "Guia informativa para psicólogos y estudiantes de Psicología que desean desplazarse a otros países europeos."

The official publication of EFPPA is The European Psychologist.

Psychiatric trainees are involved both in the "productivity" of institutional health services and in learning the scientific basis and acquiring the clinical skills of their specialty. The EFPT, as an international professional group, is positioned to help trainees in its 23 member organizations to monitor the conditions of psychiatric training, the quality of teachers and teaching facilities, accessibility of library services, opportunities to engage in research, etc., to make comparisons between countries, and to point out discrepancies between the formal / official goals of training and the actual local training conditions.

In its annual European Forums for All Psychiatric Trainees, EFPT has develped statements on such topics as:

• National trainee organisations (Copenhagen 1995)
• General medicine and neurology in psychiatric training (Ireland 1994)
• Quality of training: supervision and evaluation (Copenhagen 1995)
• Training in child psychiatry (Lisbon, 1996)
• Psychotherapy training (Lisbon, 1996)
• Requirements for teachers (Lisbon, 1996)
• Quality assurance in training: independent inspections of training institutions (Athens, 1997)
• Logbooks (Athens, 1997 and Ghent, 1998)
• Experience in research (Ireland, 1994 and Athens, 1997)
• Exchange of trainees between different countries (Copenhagen, 1995)
• Part-time training (Ireland, 1994)
• Removal of trainee from training (Ghent, 1998)

The experience that trainees thus accrue will help them deal with other organisational structures relevant to the specialty and to become more capable members of their professional societies.

The official publication of EFPA is European Psychologist.

The official journal of EFS is Sexologies: European Journal of Medical Sexology.
