This offer is valid for ACT members who are not yet members of the International Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy.

The International Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy (IACP) is a professional, scientific, interdisciplinary organization whose mission is to facilitate the utilization and growth of cognitive psychotherapy as a professional activity and scientific discipline. In addition, the Association serves as a resource and information for matters related to cognitive psychotherapy. The Honorary President of the Association is Dr. Aaron T. Beck, M.D., University Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania, and President of the Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research in suburban Philadelphia.

Membership is open to professionals and students in disciplines such as psychology, psychiatry, social work, medicine, dentistry, rehabilitation, guidance, pastoral counseling, general medical practice, counseling and education. The three classes of membership are: Full Voting Individual Membership, based on the completion of the appropriate professional degree designated for practice in one’s specialty; Group Membership, open to national or international associations as a group; and Student Membership, available to individuals enrolled in a program of study leading to a professional degree. Benefits vary depending on type of membership. Prospective members can choose single or multiple-year memberships.
