Society for Neuropsychology Austria / Gesellschaft fur Neuropsychologie Osterreich (GNPO)
Sankt Konrad, Upper Austria, Austria
The GNPO is a non-profit organization that operates nationally and internationally. As a founding member of the Federation of the European Societies of Neuropsychology (FESN), the GNPO representatives also work with national European organizations in the field of neuroscience and their decision-makers.
One of the primary goals as President of the GNPO is to increase the level of awareness of clinical neuropsychology and to clarify the positioning in both the Austrian and the European health landscape.
In addition, quality assurance of clinical-neuropsychological tasks is very important to me. This refers to the certification of the further education curriculum clinical neuropsychology as well as the accreditation of the further education institutions. This also includes the development of standards for core clinical and neuropsychological activities. One of the most important successes is the introduction of clinical neuropsychology as a specialization according to § 29 (5) PG 2013 BGBl 182/2013 as the first department in Austria.
Last but not least, I will also promote the professionalization of the GNPO, which will be shown, for example, in a modern website, online access or documents.
What can you expect from the GNPO?
• They represent over 350 members who work in applied and scientific areas of clinical neuropsychology.
• They are very interested in promoting and disseminating clinical neuropsychology as an interdisciplinary science. By doing this, they want to improve public health care.
• They submit expert papers, make suggestions for improvement and provide comments.
• They regularly hold conferences, take part in congresses as their representatives, organize training courses, meet with decision-makers and network within and outside the professional group.
• They offer comprehensive theoretical training in clinical neuropsychology.
• They are also happy to help you find practical training positions or supervisors.
• They are happy to help you compile your documents for submission for certification.
• For colleagues who have already been certified, they provide a diverse training program in Vienna, Innsbruck, Salzburg, Wels and Graz.
• They cooperate closely with the Austrian Association of Psychologists (BOP) in order to be able to use synergies and to complement each other in negotiations.
• The Journal of Neuropsychology is the official organ of the GNPO and is distributed to the members on a quarterly basis. In addition to specialist articles, the articles also contain information on current work on the Board.
Through clinical-neuropsychological diagnostics, our experts guarantee a validated and standardized assessment of the experience and behavior, as well as the performance options of our patients. This is the basis for decision-making for rehabilitation measures or retraining opportunities. Clinical-neuropsychological treatment is an essential part of the best possible restoration after acquired brain damage. Quality of life is the top priority in the care of our patients.
