When talking about kvalifikace, sada oficiálních požadavků, které musí terapeut splnit, aby mohl legálně a bezpečně pracovat. Also known as osvědčení, it defines psychoterapeut, osoba s odborným vzděláním a praktickým výcvikem v psychoterapii. A key part of any therapist’s profile is the certifikace, formální potvrzení od renomovaných organizací, že splňuje stanovené standardy. These three concepts form the backbone of trustworthy mental‑health care.
In the Czech Republic, the most recognized bodies are ČAP, Česká asociace psychoterapie, která uděluje certifikáty po přísném hodnocení and ČPtS, Česká psychoterapeutická společnost, která také spravuje registr kvalifikovaných psychoterapeutů. A therapist who holds both credentials usually has completed university‑level psychology or medicine, followed by a minimum of 300 hours supervised practice. This combination requires solid theoretical knowledge, hands‑on skill, and ongoing education, which together raise the likelihood of successful treatment outcomes.
Why does this matter to you? When you choose a therapist, you compare their specialization, years of experience, and the specific certifikace they hold. For example, a practitioner certified in DBT (dialektická behaviorální terapie) is better equipped for borderline personality disorder, while someone with a mindfulness‑based CBT background may excel with ADHD or anxiety. The more detailed the qualification profile, the easier it is to match therapy type with your unique need. In practice, people often ask about the therapist’s kvalifikace to ensure they are not just “licensed” but also continuously supervised and updated on current methods.
