SVPA-ASMAP-ASAP is part of a network of associations in the field of psychiatry and psychotherapy of both adults and children and adolescents. Particularly on the Swiss level we collaborate closely with other associations of trainees such as ALPPF, VAPZ, ARGE and the associations of specialists such as SGPP and SGKJPP. On a European level we are active in cooperation with the European Federation of Psychiatric Trainees EFPT and support our members’ interest in international working groups, such as those of the EPA.
