The idea of an European Association for Body Psychotherapy was first discussed at the First European Congress for Body Psychotherapy, organised by Dr. Jacob Stattman, Dr. Malcolm Brown and Bjorn Blumenthal at Davos, Switzerland in September 1987.
The Association was officially created with Statutes registered under Section 60 of the Swiss Civil Code, in December 1989.

The officers of the Association were elected by democratic vote at the Second European Congress for Body Psychotherapy, at Seefeld, Austria in September 1989, and subsequently at the Third Congress at Lindau, Germany, September 1991.

Since then it has expande into a thriving association with nearly 350 members in 21 different countries. It has started to accredit Body Psychotherapy Training Schools; has a list of it's own publications; is collating a massive bibliography on Body Psychotherapy; and has it's own website.
