Bill proposing official recognition for clinical sexologists
Official title: Wetsvoorstel tot erkenning van klinische seksuologen.
Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- The bill officially recognizes clinical sexologists as an autonomous mental health profession. To use this protected title, providers must complete university education and a professional internship.
- This affects sexologists and sexology students, as well as doctors and psychologists. Transitional measures are included for practitioners who are already active in the field.
- If you seek help for sexual concerns or difficulties, you will have greater certainty that your care provider is properly qualified. Not just anyone will be able to call themselves a clinical sexologist.
