11. evropski kongres sistemske psihoterapije EFTA je potekal od 7. do 10. septembra v Ljubljani, v soorganizaciji Univerze Sigmunda Freuda Dunaj – podružnica Ljubljana (SFU Ljubljana), Teološke fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani in Evropskega združenja za družinsko terapijo (EFTA), s podporo Združenja zakonskih in družinskih terapevtov Slovenije (ZDT).

Tekom kongresa se je zvrstilo več kot 55 predavateljev, v program je bilo vključenih več kot 400 prezentacij, kongresa pa se je udeležilo več kot 800 obiskovalcev. Da je dogodek lahko potekal v živo, po daljšem času okrnjenih stikov zadnjih dveh let, je bilo še posebno veliko veselje organizatorjev in udeležencev.
Tematika kongresa

Predavanja, okrogle mize, delavnice in drugi prispevki so bile razvrščeni v štiri tematska področja: spremembe odnosov, spremembe orodij, praks in postopkov, spremembe zahtev in spremembe konteksta.

V času kongresa EFTA je zaživela tudi nova spletna stran www.dodosvetuje.si, ki je namenjena predvsem bodočim uporabnikom psihoterapije za njeno popularizacijo in destigmatizacijo.

Glavni namen okrogle mize je bila izmenjava informacij o trenutnem stanju zakonske ureditve v različnih evropskih državah, ter na podlagi teh izkušenj iskanje poti in pobud za sodobno in kvalitetno normativno ureditev psihoterapije v Sloveniji. Udeleženci okrogle mize so predstavili situacijo v Latviji, Srbiji, Avstriji, Nemčiji, na Poljskem in Sloveniji.

Razglašen je bil še izbor zmagovalnih plakatov (Poster Agora Award) in z lepim aplavzom s strani najbolj vztrajnih poslušalcev, ki so zdržali vse do konca, se je kongres zaključil v dobrem vzdušju.
Ponovna zahvala gre vsem predavateljem, drugim sodelujočim, soorganizatorjem, prostovoljcem in seveda obiskovalcem ter mestu Ljubljana - prav vsem udeleženim skratka - skupaj nam je uspelo izpeljati zares lep in poseben dogodek.

The 11th Conference of the European Family Therapy Association (EFTA) was held from the 7th to 10th of September in Ljubljana and was co-organised by the Sigmund Freud University Vienna - Ljubljana Branch (SFU Ljubljana), the Faculty of Theology of the University of Ljubljana and the European Association for Family Therapy (EFTA), with the support of the Association of Marriage and Family Therapists of Slovenia (ZDT). The events, seminars and lectures took place in three locations, namely at Cankarjev dom, the Faculty of Theology and at SFU Ljubljana. During the Conference there were more than 55 speakers, more than 400 presentations were included in the programme, and more than 800 visitors attended the Conference. The fact that the event could be held live, after such a long period of limited contact over the last two years, was a particular delight for the organisers and participants.
The concept
The Coference title ''Systemic resonances and interferences in a (post) pandemic, climate change and migration context in Europe'' covered socially engaging topics in addition to covering important issues in psychotherapeutic clinical practice, theory and research. The lectures, roundtables, workshops and other contributions were grouped into four themes: Change of relationships; Change of tools, practices, and procedures; Change of requests; Change of context.
The programme
The opening of the Coference took place at Cankarjev dom in Ljubljana on Wednesday, 7th of September 2022, with an opening address by Monica Whyte, President of EFTA, and Mag. Miran Možina, Director of SFU Ljubljana, programme co-leader of the conference. The participants were further addressed by Dr. Umberta Telfener (EFTA TIC Board), who took over the EFTA presidency during the Conference, and Prof. Nevena Čalovska (Association of Systemic Therapists).
The first keynote speakers presented themselves in Cankarjev dom during the first afternoon and those were Wilhelm Schmid (University of Erfurt, Germany) with his lecture ''The Art of Living in Times of Crisis'', Lieven Migerode (EFT België vzw, Belgium) with his lecture ''Couples suffering from couple violence: understanding from within'', Renata Salecl (Ιnstitute of Criminology, Faculty of Law, Slovenia) with ''Apathy and aggression in times of post-truth'' and Justine van Lawick (Lorentzhuis, The Netherlands) with ''Α polyphonic and embodied dialogue around family violence''.
Dodo the bird was also a special guest of the day, presenting his new Slovene book Dodo Talks - A Guide to Psychotherapy. Alll jokes aside - it is an important book by authors Tomaž Flajs and Mag. Miran Možina. It is the first Slovenian guide to psychotherapy and was presented to the public at the conference as part of a bigger projcet with an aim to promote psychotherapy in Slovenia. During the EFTA Conference, a new website www.dodosvetuje.si was also launched, which is intended mainly for future users of psychotherapy to popularise and destigmatise it.
On the second day of the Conference, Thursday 8th of September 2022, there were a large number of symposia, lectures, invited dialogues, round tables and workshops, the latter particularly well attended.
On the evening of the second day, a gala dinner and a party for the participants took place at Ljubljana Castle.
On Friday, 9th of September 2022, the third day of the Conference, there were even more workshops, lectures and round tables. An important event of this day for the Slovenian context was the round table entitled Psychotherapy regulation across Europe: What can Slovenia learn from other countries?. The main purpose of the round table was to exchange information on the current state of regulation in various European countries and, based on this experience, to find ways and initiatives for modern and quality regulation of psychotherapy in Slovenia. The participants of the round table presented the situation in Latvia, Serbia, Austria, Germany, Poland and Slovenia.
The round table was followed by a press conference on the topic of the legal regulation of psychotherapy in Slovenia, where, in addition to Mag. Miran Možina, director of SFU Ljubljana and member of the Working Group for the Law on Psychotherapy at Slovenska zveza za psihoterapijo in svetovanje (SZPS) and Urška Kranjc Jakša, member of the Working Group for the Law on Psychotherapy at SZPS, was joined by Dr. Gerda Mehta, representative of SFU Vienna and the Austrian Association for Systemic Psychotherapy. The press conference is availabe to watch on the SFU Ljubljana YouTube channel.
On the last day, Saturday 10th of September 2022, in addition to the rest of the programme, there was a good number of interesting keynote speakers - Edouard Durand with his lecture ''Who rules in the house?/Qui fait la loi dans la maison?'', Christian Gostečnik (Faculty of Theology of the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia) with ''New paradigm in family therapy'', Renos Papadopoulos (Renos Papadopoulos Centre for Trauma, Asylum, and Refugees, University of Essex, UK) with ''Involuntary dislocation in systemic perspectives'', Celia Falicov (University of California, USA) with ''Systemic practices with immigrants as complex cultural and sociopolitical encounters'', Maria Borcsa (Institute of Social Medicine, Rehabilitation Sciences and Healthcare Research University of Applied Sciences Nordhausen, Germany) and Valeria Pomini (National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, First Department of Psychiatry, Greece) with ''Virtual relations and systemic therapy: Towards a third-order cybernetics''.
As the last keynote speaker, Günther Schiepek (Institute of Synergetics and Psychotherapy Research of Paracelsus Medical Private University, Germany) rounded up the Conference programme with his lecture "From evidence-based practice to practice-based evidence: the complextiy paradigm shift in psychotherapy research and practice" at Cankarjev dom.
The Poster Agora Award was announced and the very end of the Conference programme and the Conference itself ended in a good mood with a nice applause from the most persistent listeners who had stayed until the end.
A big thank you goes to all the speakers, other participants, co-organisers, volunteers, and of course the visitors and the city of Ljubljana - in short, to everyone involved - together we have managed to create a truly beautiful and special event.
Impressions were also gathered in the lens of the camera during the Conference - check out the photo gallery for more.
The full programme of the Conference is available here. A special book with the content material of the Conference will be published next year by the renowned publishing house Springer, edited by Matthias Ochs and Miran Možina.
