The Association unionizes all types of psychologists: public employees, private employees, psychologists in private practices, (clinical and organizational psychologists) and chief psychologists.
The Association’s objectives include:
? Safeguarding the members’ interests of a professional and financial nature
? Promoting the interest in the field of psychology
? Creating better conditions for psychological research and practical psychological work
? Creating better conditions for the psychology education and for the additional training of psychologists
? Furthering cooperation between the field of psychology and other professions
The graduated members are graduates in applied psychology, Master of Education and Psychology and Master of Arts in psychology; furthermore, students of these degrees and Bachelors of Psychology.
The psychologist title is protected according to the Law applicable to psychologists etc. (Act no. 494 of June 30, 1993), which authorizes only individuals with the acknowledged degrees to use the ‘psychologist’ title.
The Danish Psychologists’ Association participates in open and close collaborations with other unions, including especially the associations, which are members of the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. On a Nordic, European and international level, there is an increasing collaboration with other professional psychology organizations.
