Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I am writing these few words from Lisbon, where I am participating and presenting in a very interesting conference of RELATES ( Red Latino-Americana y Europea de Escuelas Sistemicas) in which the spoken languages are Castillano (Spanish) and Portuguese. Founded by Roberto pereira and Juan Linares, it includes also some Catalan, French and Italian members.
It is an alternative world for our English-French speaking association with whom we start to be in touch. This participation is coherent with our program of creating soon a World Federation of Family Therapy in building which EFTA has an important position. After the first contacts made by our past President Kyriaki Polichroni and the very important meeting organized and chaired by our past President Maria Borcsa in Athens, we decided to keep contact with other continental associations (AFTA and AAMFT from USA and Canada, RELATES from Latin America -South and Central-, AAFT from Asia, Australian and New Zealand FT Association and some local association from Africa).
This year Maria Borcsa participated to the AFTA Conference in Philadelphia USA, I am now in Relates in Portugal and will go to Tokyo for Asiatic AAFT in November.
