The following survey deals with the education and training of psychologists in the field of psychological or psychogerontological work with older people. This survey is being conducted by a European consortium of psychologists working as geropsychologists in research or clinical care in their respective countries.
Do you think that working with old and very old adults is an important area of psychology that deserves the attention of professionals and our society as a whole?
Then we cordially invite you to participate anonymously in an online survey that lasts about 15 minutes.
The online survey is aimed at psychologists from many European countries after the initiative and collaboration of psychologists working in academia and/or in clinical practice in the field of ageing, who are members of the Standing Committee on Ageing of the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations.
The rules, training and practice opportunities in this area of psychology vary widely across Europe and for the most part fall far short of society's needs. This means that not all questions fit equally well in all countries involved. If you think that the answer options don't fit for some questions, feel free to select the "Other" option and insert your answers there.
By participating in the survey, you enable us to describe the different education, training and further education paths in geropsychology in Europe and to make them better known within Europe.

Thank you for your time and commitment to improving the quality of psychological care for older people.
The survey will be open until 15th April 2025.
