A word from EFTA’s President
Dear Friends, dear Colleagues at our EFTA Network, Welcome to EFTA’s Newsletter 11!
In the past months, we have put our efforts into developping a “new version” both of the EFTA website and of the Newsletter. We hope that you, too, will find this a creative development and that you will actively contribute to its further evolution. Our aim is that the Newsletter becomes a truly interactive means of exchanging information and experiences from our various professional activities.
Towards this purpose, we have gathered together a number of interesting items in this Newsletter, including updates from the activities of EFTA’s 3 Chambers, news from our members, an article on the Status of Psychotherapy in Europe – by Alfred Pritz, a long-time member of the EAP Board – along with a number of interesting articles and publication announcements.
Please keep in mind that, as an electronic Newsletter, we have the ability to publish your work in various European languagues. We invite you to submit your articles for the EFTA Newsletter, so that your work will be circulated among your colleagues in other European countries.
Furthermore, in our attempt to keep you informed of the activities taking place in our European Systemic community, under the heading “Calendar of Events” you will find information on specific conferences and workshops scheduled for 2013. Kindly keep us informed as to the family therapy and systemic practice events you are planning and we will undertake to promote these through the Newsletter.
2013 will also bring us together for the 8th EFTA Congress in the city of Istanbul, Turkey – a crossroad of different cultures and a meeting point for East and West. In collaboration with our Turkish colleagues of the Family and Marital Therapies Association (AETD), we are busily getting this Congress organized and are happy with its process of development. You may visit the Congress website for more information (www.efta2013.org).
We encourage you all to submit your proposals for presenting your work at what promises to be a very interesting and truly interactive event!
Keep in mind that you may contact the EFTA secretariat or me personally () for any questions or further information you may wish about our Association an its activities.
Warm collegial greetings,
Kyriaki Polychroni
EFTA President
Le mot de la présidente d’EFTA
Chers Amis, chers membres d’EFTA, Bienvenue dans notre 11ème Newsletter!
Ces derniers mois, nous avons consacré tous nos efforts pour développer une “nouvelle version” du site d’EFTA et de la Newsletter. Nous espérons que vous trouverez ce développement créatif et que vous contribuerez activement à son évolution prochaine.
Nous souhaitons que la Newsletter devienne un véritable moyen d’échanges interactifs d’informations et d’expériences de nos diverses activités professionnelles.
A cette fin, nous avons réuni dans cette Newsletter des sujets variés: des informations sur les activités des 3 chambres, des nouvelles de nos membres, un article sur le statut de la psychothérapie en Europe (par A. Pritz, membre du Board de l’EAP) ainsi qu’un certain nombre d’articles intéressants et de publications récentes.
La Newsletter électronique nous permet de publier vos travaux dans plusieurs langues européennes. Nous vous invitons dès lors à nous soumettre des articles, ce qui permettra à vos travaux d’être diffusés auprès de vos collègues d’autres pays d’Europe.
De plus, soucieux de vous tenir informés des activités qui ont lieu au sein de notre “communauté systémique européenne”, vous trouverez dans la rubrique “Calendar of Events” des informations sur des conférences et ateliers spécifiques programmés pour 2013. Nous vous demandons de nous tenir informés des événements que vous organisez afin que nous puissions les relayer dans les Newsletters.
2013 nous réunira pour le 8ème congrès d’EFTA à Istanbul en Turquie, un carrefour de différentes cultures et un point de rencontre entre l’Est et l’Ouest. En collaboration avec nos collègues turcs de l’Association de thérapie familiale et conjugale (AETD), nous consacrons beaucoup de temps à préparer ce congrès et sommes satisfaits de voir comment la préparation avance. Pour plus d’informations, nous vous invitons à visiter le site du congrès (www.efta2013.org).
Nous vous encourageons tous à soumettre vos propositions pour présenter vos travaux à cet événement qui promet d’être très intéressant et interactif!
N’hésitez pas à me contacter personnellement () ou le secrétariat d’EFTA pour toutes questions relatives à notre association et à ses activités.
Avec mes voeux chaleureux,
Kyriaki Polychroni,
Présidente d’EFTA
In memory…
The EFTA Board has lost “one of its own”
It is with shock and sadness that the members of the EFTA General Board encountered the unfortunate news that one of our members so un-expectantly “left us”. Pier Giuseppe Defilippi, an integral member of the EFTA-CIM Board and currently its secretary, passed away quietly on the first day if this New Year.
Life is so fragile, something we do not often remember in our everyday lives. It is a sad event such as this that gives us the opportunity to appreciate and be grateful for our health, our families, our friendships and our collegial relationships… to wonder, doubt, discover and commit ourselves to their meaningful priorities…
We convey our sincere and respectful sympathy to his wife and family.
Kyriaki Polychroni, EFTA President
Pier Giuseppe, “Pippo” has passed away. We were all astonished by his sudden death. All those who knew him will remenber this discrete and gracious man, anxious to be at your disposal, always listening, often with a sense of humor. All these, qualities along with his competence, made him a very professional worker, appreciated, engaged with the families he treated, happy to teach his students what was close to him more in heart: respect based on authentic ethics of responsibility. It is up to us to keep in memory all that he brought us.
Jacques Pluymaekers, Chair EFTA-CIM
Pier Giuseppe, “Pippo” nous a quitté, son décès nous surprenant tous. Tous ceux qui l’ont connu se rappelleront cet homme discret, affable, soucieux de rendre service, toujours à l’écoute et souvent avec une petite pointe d’humour. Ce sont ces qualités alliées à sa compétence qui ont fait de lui ce professionnel apprécié, engagé auprès des familles, heureux de transmettre à ses étudiants ce qui lui tenait le plus à coeur: le respect fondé sur une authentique éthique de la responsabilité. A nous de garder en mémoire tout ce qu’il nous a apporté.
Jacques Pluymaekers, Président d’EFTA-CIM
Dear Friends,
Unfortunately, I have very sad news to report: Pier Giuseppe Defilippi (Pippo) died yesterday. He died on the first January, at his home near Torino. He had spent the last evening surrounded by his family, his wife Giovanna, their four children and grandchildren. Althought he had been doing poorly for the last two months, spending most of the time hospitalized, his various problems were not expected to be life threatening. This sudden, tragic loss has shocked and saddened his family, friends, colleagues and students.
Pippo left a rich legacy and will be remembered for his great intelligence, generosity of spirit and untiring efforts to help those who had need of his exemplary skills. He had an uncommon ability to turn initiatives into viable projects. As his work at EMMECI, CSTRF, SIPPR and EFTA will attest, he had the rare gift of quietly guiding conflicting forces into productive directions. This is a profound loss of one of our most influential leaders. He will be deeply missed by all.
Francesco Bruni, EFTA-NFTO Treasurer
