Broad incumbents

• EMDR Europe Association: EMDR Europe is the European umbrella for EMDR associations across countries, including EMDR Italia. It represents a broader regional incumbent in trauma-related psychotherapy that AISTED's clinicians also engage with.
• European Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ESTSS): ESTSS is the European-level umbrella society for traumatic stress studies, comparable in scope to ESTD but at a higher geographic and topical level. AISTED members and partners operate within ESTSS's broader network.
• American Psychological Association Division 56 (Trauma Psychology): APA Division 56 is the established U.S.-based professional division focused on trauma psychology. It serves a comparable function for U.S. clinicians as AISTED does for Italian ones, providing a benchmark peer association in trauma specialization.

• International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS): ISTSS is referenced by AISTED as the source of adult trauma treatment guidelines and operates as a comparable professional society dedicated to traumatic stress research and clinical practice.
• International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISST-D): ISST-D is the international parent organization for trauma and dissociation research and treatment standards. AISTED explicitly aligns its activities with ISST-D guidelines, making it the most comparable international peer.

• Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute (SPI): SPI is an international training institute referenced by AISTED as a related professional organization in trauma treatment. It offers comparable specialized training content for clinicians treating trauma.

Others

• European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (EFPP): EFPP is a European-level psychotherapy professional federation with overlapping clinician membership.
