ASSOCIATION for SOLIDARITY & ANTIDISCRIMINATION in PSYCHOTHERAPY • VIENNA •
For a discrimination-free praxis.
MISSION STATEMENT
We are ASAP – the Association for Solidarity and Anti-Discrimination in Psychotherapy.
Based in Vienna, Austria, we are growing tired of the every-day and structural forms of discrimination we witness and experience, both in the praxis and in the training institutions.
ASAP is in itself a mission: to continuously encourage education and awareness, a push for intersectional-feminism in the therapeutic praxis. We hope to cultivate a reality where people seeking therapy, or therapists in training don’t need to be confronted with these structural forms of violence.
With this we take a clear stand to mitigate sexism, racism, nationalism, LGBTQIA+phobia, xenophobia, cis-heteronormativity, discrimination based off religion and ethnicity, colonial worldviews & eurocentrism, all forms of ableism and white supremacy. Seeing the influence these forms of discrimination hold on our mis-understanding of mental illness.
We see this as a step towards a world of authentic accountability and comprehensive psychotherapeutic support for all.
How we want to achieve this:
OFFERS:
Workshops on sensibilisation:
Trainings for experts in the field of psychotherapy and training centres on any given topic of discrimination.
One on one councelling for people affected by discrimination in psychotherapy:
Whether in the therapy praxis or in a training centre, discrimination is everywhere to be found.
We offer support in finding resources, connecting clients to appropriate therapists, and counselling on discriminatory experiences.
