The 20th International Federation for Psychotherapy (IFP) World Congress of Psychotherapy
Psychiatry Medical Congress
Congress location: Lucerne, Switzerland
Date: 16 - 19 June 2010
The conference will be jointly organized by the International Federation for Psychotherapy IFP and the Foederatio Medicorum Psychiatricorum et Psychotherapeuticorum FMPP, the umbrella organisation that unites the Swiss Societies for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, for adults as well as for children and adolescents. The theme of the 20th IFP World Congress of Psychotherapy will be “Psychotherapy: Science and Culture”. Wen-Shing Tseng, President of the World Association of Cultural Psychiatry, and one of the plenary speakers of this conference, defines culture as a dynamic concept referring to a set of beliefs, attitudes, and value systems, that derive from early stages of life through enculturation, and become an internal mode of regulating behavior, action, and emotion.
The conference theme will be used to highlight certain issues the organisers intend to focus on, but the general aim will be to better understand what the patients are struggling with, and how to treat them. Furthermore, apart from looking into psychopathology and other forms of psychosocial dysfunction, the conference will also address issues such as salutogenesis, resilience, and post-traumatic growth.
