All started with a conflict…

Athena, goddess of wisdom and war, and the sea god, Poseidon, were competing for possession of one of the cities of ancient Greece. The other gods decreed that the city should be awarded to the one who bestowed upon its inhabitants the most useful gift. In response, Poseidon struck the ground with his trident and brought forth a miraculous saltwater spring. Athena, putting her faith in a more practical offering, planted an olive tree beside the spring. The people found the olive a better gift, and the city was named for its winner: Athens.

We are honored to host in Athens the 9^th European Conference of Gestalt Therapy from 6 – 9 of September 2007: "Exploring Human Conflict". Conference Center: Divani Caravel Hotel. Since 2004 the conference became an important and vital part of our institute and our lives. Slowly, with the arrangements of time and place, a form of where, when and what started to emerge. Now we are ready to give you the lead!

In this website you will find all the important information concerning the program of the conference, registration, accommodation, pre-post conference tours and your stay in Athens.Also you will find the online registration and/or accommodation forms, as well as the abstract submission form if you are interested in sending your proposals. Please note that early registration stands for reduced registration fees.

We invite you to explore "together", as Socrates said, how "from doubt to doubt, from objection to objection one can arrive at the definition of meaning, of an idea", in different fields: psychotherapy, social and human rights, education, organizational and research.

Training Standards: news dalla Commissione

La European Association for Gestalt Therapy (EAGT)  ha definito degli standards per le scuole europee che formano alla psicoterapia della Gestalt. Questi standards hanno lo scopo di garantire la qualità e l’omogeneità della formazione degli psicoterapeuti gestaltisti in tutta Europa.

Tutti gli istituti di formazione soci dell’EAGT devono richiedere l’accreditamento entro novembre 2007 altrimenti decade la possibilità di continuare ad essere soci dell’European Association e quindi di rilasciare un diploma di specializzazione riconosciuto dall’EAGT.

Gli studenti formati da istituti non accreditati entro fine 2007 possono diventare membri EAGT solo fino al 2008. Dopo questa data ci si potrà associare all’EAGT solo se l’istituto in cui ci si è formati ha effettuato le procedure per l’accreditamento.

Queste prevedono la verifica delle modalità formative degli istituti attraverso il confronto con i parametri dell’EAGT e attraverso l’incontro diretto fra i delegati della Commissione per i Training Standards e l’istituto stesso.

Le esperienze di incontro sono state finora ottime in quanto hanno costituito un’occasione di feedback supportivo per gli istituti che sono stati certificati.

Per chiedere l’accreditamento basta consultare le procedure pubblicate sul sito dell’EAGT (www.eagt.org) e mettersi in contatto con il Trainng Standard Committee il cui referente è Peter Schulthess.
