Marriage & Family Therapist

Family Therapist / Systemic & Family Therapy and Psychotherapy (not a statutorily warranted profession)
Regulator: No statutory regulator. Family therapy, systemic therapy and psychotherapy have no dedicated profession Act and are not listed as Professions Complementary to Medicine under the Health Care Professions Act (Cap. 464, Third Schedule). Training/professional bodies include the Institute of Family Therapy (Malta) and the Malta Association of Psychotherapists (voluntary).
CPDNOT statutorily regulated in Malta as of July 2026. There is no Family Therapy / Psychotherapy Profession Act and no warrant for family therapists or psychotherapists; these titles do not appear in the Third Schedule (Professions Complementary to Medicine) of the Health Care Professions Act (Cap. 464). Therefore there is no legally mandated CPD requirement for family/systemic therapists as such. CPD is handled through voluntary professional-body and training-institute standards (e.g., Institute of Family Therapy Malta; Malta Association of Psychotherapists), which typically align with EFTA/EAP frameworks but are not enshrined in Maltese law. Practitioners who also hold a psychology or social work warrant are bound by that profession's statutory CPD rules.
No specific live / interactive hour requirement

Home study: Not applicable (unregulated)

Board notes: No statutory warrant or CPD mandate for family therapy/psychotherapy as standalone professions. Any CPD expectation derives from voluntary association/EAP-EFTA membership, not statute.
