Science and Research Symposium

Identity in Transformative Times

As Body Psychotherapists, we have brought essential areas of human existence into conscious awareness and we have developed powerful methods and professional techniques to work with these. At the same time, there is still a lack of well-formulated descriptions and concepts of the phenomena we work with. Further research work into the efficacy and effectiveness of Body Psychotherapy is also essential to its future development.” We will take some time to present various research projects that have been developed within the practice of Body Psychotherapy through communities of practice and clinical research. Exploring the interface between practice, research, and the range of discussions on the Conference themes, the following Research Symposium will provide a place to share, innovate and interact. Applications should be made until May 2023. We (the SRC) are monitoring the applications.
