(APA).1
These
guidelines

Individuals that are not APA members, including those who are not directly in the
profession of Psychotherapy, may willingly and publically commit to uphold the APA code
of conduct. We recommend accredited practices to communicate this commitment
publically. Accreditation as an institute through the Viktor Frankl Institute constitutes a
binding commitment to uphold these ethical guidelines.
However, if you are unable to commit to the ethical guidelines of the APA due to personal,
ideological, or other grounds, either in whole or in part, then you may submit alternative
ethical guidelines to the accreditation committee to supplement or substitute the APA
guidelines through your commitment to uphold them.
With this solicitation for accreditation through the Viktor Frankl Institute you declare in the
name of your institute, unless otherwise expressly agreed upon, your institutes voluntary
commitment to uphold the ethical guidelines and code of conduct of the American
Psychological Association (APA).

VII. Recommendations for Continuing Education

The fulfilment of psychotherapeutic or counselling duties and responsibilities calls
for continued self-critical assessment of ones own personal and professional
qualifications and competence, as well as continued efforts for their further
development and the observation of ones own limits. Given this reality, the
responsibility arises to stay informed of current best professional practices via the
appropriate ongoing education training, and to critically grapple with and selfappropriate this ongoing training into the course of ones psychotherapeutic or
counselling activities.
Particularly, with a view of the two years to renewal of accreditation for your
practice, we recommend that accredited therapists or counsellors take part in
advanced training, congresses, and conferences on psychotherapy and
counselling. Specifically, we recommend taking part not only in advanced training
programs in Logotherapy, but also in related schools of psychotherapy in order to
remain informed of the latest themes and trends in the helping and counselling
professions. This recommendation is expressly not a binding commitment for
therapists or counsellors accredited through the Viktor Frankl Insitute; it should
simply serve to safeguard and enhance the quality of Logotherapeutic
psychotherapy and counselling.

The APAs code has been adopted for ease of use amongst applicants not fluent in
German. The APAs guidelines represent a conservative articulation of the Viktor Frankl
Institutes ethical standards. The Institutes guiding document is the ethical guidelines of
the Deutschen Dachverbands fr Psychotherapie (DVP e.V.). Institutes seeking
accreditation through the Viktor Frankl Institute who anticipate regularly encountering
difficulty with the APAs articulation by the nature of organisational activities are
encouraged to obtain a copy of the DVPs guidelines (a German-language document) from
the VFI and substitute this document for the APA guidelines.
