The General Assembly of Psychologists has requested the dismissal of the President of the Order of Psychologists, Valbona Treska, as they claim that he has usurped the institution, threatens them with an ethics commission, and has increased the fees for quotations.
Her dismissal was requested by 1/3 of all members of the Assembly at the meeting that took place today.
For this unprecedented measure that is required for the first time, psychologists list 20 reasons why the President should be dismissed.
" 1. Lack of transparency in decision-making and delayed publication of decisions.
2. Delayed responses to concerns, often acute, from UP leaders even though there are 2 lawyers, secretaries, Secretary General, administration employees.
3. Non-consultation with the members of the Assembly in advance when the technology of several years already simplifies the communication.
4. Expensive trainings, the payment of which is disproportionate to the salaries we receive.
5. The trainings offered by members of the Council conflict with their interests and thus violate the ethics of the profession. If Council members wish to share their knowledge and experience with us, they can do so free of charge.
6. Lack of alternatives to choose trainings according to the needs of the field and the trainings done so far do not challenge the knowledge of the relevant fields of psychology.
7. Increase in fees by over 30% when there was no increase in financial income for all psychologists.
8. Mismanagement of the Ethics Commission by taking extreme administrative measures without implementing the escalating hierarchy of measures.
9. Non-response and silence when official documents are requested, non-filing due to loss of documentation, invoices and others. There is evidence when psychologists had to pay twice the licensing fee.
10. Unannounced inspections at the place of work of psychologists even without reason.
11. Conflict of interest of the member of the National Council who also plays the role of General Secretary.
12. Unnecessary scrolling. Errors of form and content in the documentation and non-responsibility for them. Lack of communication ethics by the UP administration and leaders.
13. Not promoting the profession of psychologists, members of the National Council or talented psychologists, at a time when mental health is still stigmatized and Albanian society is in great need.
14. The annual issuance of membership cards leads to confusion and unnecessary expenses. when the cards can be divided once every 5 years. It is not even ecological;
15. Not establishing official relations with ASCK and public institutions in order to strengthen the network of psychologists through qualifications.
16. Workshops, exchanges of experiences of school psychologists that translate into credits are surprisingly paid even when these are developed within the professional network. In recent years, school psychologists have been forced to receive only the trainings determined by the leaders of UP, which has monopolized the market of qualifications whose payments are not in fair proportion to our salaries. 17. There is no clear and correct definition of the relationship between the UP and the interns, who, in addition to the payment, also pay insurance. The leaders of UP have not shown concrete commitment in building cooperation with public institutions where internships are offered to interns and this is converted into practical knowledge before licensing.
18. As psychologists, we have been faced with a rejecting approach from the leaders of UP.
19. Improper and imprecise treatment of psychologists, e.g. the non-appearance of the UP expert in a training followed with the repetition of the training, causing loss of time and financial damage.
20. Legal psychologists pay the UP the highest rate of all other psychologists, this rate is differentiated. The Commissioner against Discrimination by means of a decision has called this quota discriminatory. Another disturbing phenomenon is that legal psychologists, even though they have completed the necessary training, are not called to assist in the courts .
The meeting of the Assembly was requested by a total of 550 psychologists while it was led by Fotjon Dorre, Arjola Manreka and Osvalt Turmalaj.
Valbona Treska was elected as the first president of the Order of Psychologists in 2017 by the Constituent Assembly. She was re-elected in 2021 for another 4-year term.
Even a week ago, 216 psychologists signed a petition against the President, not the last one had responded by calling all the accusations against her a fraud.
