INSCRIPTION ANTICIPEE AVANT LE 30 MAI

RETROUVONS-NOUS A LYON!

Les relations entre les personnes – familles, équipes, communautés, nations – ont subi des changements majeurs au cours des dernières décennies, résultat ou effet secondaire de l’évolution politique, culturelle et scientifique.
D’une part, des disciplines telles que la physique, la médecine, la psychologie, les sciences environnementales et sociales ont apporté des contributions décisives à l’avancement de nos connaissances; des galaxies lointaines se sont rapprochées de notre vision cosmique, et nos sondes et nos fusées ont atteint les confins de l’espace-temps. D’autre part, la violence et la barbarie détruisent quotidiennement des vies, des biens et des certitudes, provoquant des affrontements violents et souvent meurtriers entre individus, communautés, nations et cultures. Malgré ces réalités difficiles, les thérapeutes et praticiens systémiques sont déterminés à poursuivre leur engagement à guérir la souffrance psychique et relationnelle qui en résulte et, surtout, à raviver l’espoir, la résilience et l’optimisme pour un avenir meilleur.

Le Congrès EFTA-RELATES 2025, en collaboration avec le laboratoire de recherche DIPHE de l’Université Lyon 2, se veut un lieu de possibilités, défiant l’indifférence et l’isolement. Il réunira des centaines de professionnels, de Centres et d’organismes au sein de l’Association Européenne de Thérapie Familiale et de la Red Europea y Latinoamericana de Escuelas Sistemicas, tous engagés dans la mission de promouvoir la santé des groupes, des institutions, des familles, des couples et des individus quelles que soient leurs conditions d’existence.

L’objectif de ce congrès est de partager les connaissances systémiques – qu’il s’agisse de confluences ou de controverses – nous discuterons et résonnerons sur les différences qui font la différence. L’objectif majeur sera de combiner les fondements théoriques de l’approche systémique avec la diversité et la pluralité des pratiques cliniques, le tout enrichi par les données de la recherche.

Cette rencontre transcendante aura lieu les 27, 28, 29 et 30 août de l’été 2025, dans l’exquise ville de Lyon, en France.

Sortant des pratiques conventionnelles, nous explorerons des voies interactives, artistiques et dialogiques qui vous inviteront à être un acteur majeur de l’événement!

Cette conférence porte sur la pratique systémique dans les domaines du travail social et communautaire, de la thérapie familiale et de couple, de la psychothérapie et de la médecine, du coaching, de la supervision, du développement organisationnel et des enjeux sociétaux.

Outre les innovations et défis importants dans la pratique, la théorie et la recherche systémiques, la conférence mettra l’accent, avec une perspective de résilience et d’autonomisation, sur des sujets sociétaux pertinents tels que la migration, la justice sociale, les traumatismes, l’ère post-Covid, les différentes formes de discrimination (par exemple, le sexisme, le racisme, le classisme), l’autoritarisme politique et la violence intrafamiliale.

Dear Colleague,

Following a workshop on supervision practices among systemic therapists organized at the EFTA TIC meeting in Athens in 2023, a transnational research team, composed by Valeria Pomini (Greece), Ivy Daure (France), and Maurizio Frisina (Belgium), with the support of Vanna Foe (trainee – Greece), constructed a questionnaire called Systemic Supervision Survey (SySS) in order to study the multiple ways supervision is received and delivered within the European systemic community. Modalities of practicing systemic supervision vary across Europe, while regulation about the supervision number of hours a trainee should receive during training, required training to be accredited as supervisor, as well as supervision as continuous education along therapist professional life, are still not clear and jeopardised issues. The aim of this study is to provide a picture of current practices in supervision across Europe.

We kindly invite you and the colleagues around you to complete SySS through the following LINK

The questionnaire is anonymous and your participation won’t compromise the anonymity guaranteed by the digital platform.
Please, answer to all the questions, in order the questionnaire to be valid.
By entering the link, you will give your informed consent to your participation and your data processing.
At the end of the study, we will be happy to share its results.

In case of any question or any further information on this project please contact:

Thank you very much in advance for your collaboration!
The Research Team

This document was written by participants of the online meeting regarding the international dramatic situation. The contributors (Mauro Mariotti, Valeria Pomini, Maria Grazia Sabatini, Peter Stratton) are part of the group of authors of « Evidenze e creatività in psicoterapia sistemica e relazionale,” a book published by Franco Angeli, scheduled for release on April 14, 2025, and edited by Mauro Mariotti, Camillo Loriedo, George Saba, Carlos E. Sluzki and Peter Stratton. This document has been sent to all the authors of the book, requesting their contributions and its dissemination to relevant individuals in our field. The EFTA President, Umberta Telfener, generously offered to share the document on the EFTA website. We hope that, as systemic workers and thinkers, our voices will be heard. We hope you, members of EFTA, will participate to the next meeting (to be scheduled) and with comments to be sent to or directly to EFTA ().

Proposals:
Creating a Manifesto from the systemic community on systemic values contrasting power, narcissism, and violent practices in international relationships. To accomplish the task an idea is
a) To create a short “manual” with best practice in communication, mediation, and conflict resolution  b) To collect thoughts and texts by any colleague who might want to participate and send, having as first inputs Jochen’s, Valeria’s, and the Assisi Manifesto, with the aim of editing a collective text.

The framework of our intervention:
a) Circulate reflections from a systemic perspective on the current international situation of wars and conflicts.
b) Share our expertise in communication, mediation, and conflict resolution.
c) Act and film roleplays in our schools to demonstrate how ordinary people can find better ways to resolve disputes over goods and territories than resorting to violence.

Context:
The EFTA Relates Conference in Lyon next August is a terrific opportunity to circulate and discuss our ideas. However, we expressed the need to voice our positions beforehand through press, social media, and professional associations.

Other options to reach the desired goal: 

Host webinars and online discussions to engage a broader audience and gather diverse perspectives.

Collaborate with influential figures and organizations in the field of peace and conflict resolution to amplify our message.

Develop interactive workshops and training programs that can be implemented in various communities worldwide.

Create and distribute informative content such as videos, infographics, and articles to raise awareness and educate people on systemic values and conflict resolution techniques.

Launch a social media campaign to encourage public participation and share success stories of peaceful conflict resolution.

Dear colleagues,

We are a group of researchers from the University of Bergamo, Italy, conducting a study aimed at exploring beliefs about scientific knowledge and their practical implications. Specifically, the study investigates the relationship between epistemological beliefs and their influence on therapeutic and clinical practices.
While this area has been relatively underexplored in scientific research, it holds significant practical relevance for professional training and practice. Ensuring coherence between theoretical frameworks and the object of intervention is essential, as it directly impacts operational and professional choices.
If you are willing to participate, we kindly ask you to complete a set of questionnaires and answer a few questions on general topics and personal information.

You can access the questionnaire HERE

Thank you for considering our request. Your contribution is invaluable to advancing our research. Should you have any questions or require further clarification, please feel free to contact us via the email address provided on the first page of the questionnaire.
Best regards,
