For the 4th time therapists, researchers and students will meet and discuss many important questions related to psychotherapy from the Gestalt perspective.

The most renowned contemporary researchers and practitioners of psychotherapy have already confirmed their participation – among them Prof. Michael Lambert, Prof. Clara Hill, Prof. Mariane Krause confirmed their presence as keynote speakers.
