2023 ISEFT Conference
For 2 entire days, this conference will bring together the Emotion-Focused Therapy community! Our conference theme “Changing Emotions in a Changing World” aims to highlight the latest developments that are occurring in Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), having extended this approach through new modes of reaching clients and delivering EFT, adjusting to extraordinary experiences of going through a global pandemic and trying to impact new generations of psychotherapists across the world in contemporary training initiatives. We aim to show new developments in EFT, namely for working with new client populations, from recent practice and research developments and, therefore, we invite submissions in all areas of EFT practice, research, training, and supervision. All this will take place at the very heart of the historical city center of Porto which is distinguished by UNESCO as World Heritage, at the Centro de Congressos da Alfândega do Porto.
Presentations at the 2023 ISEFT Conference will begin at 9:00am (WET), Thursday, June 29th, and end at 7:00pm (WET), Friday, June 30th. This will include Symposiums, Mini workshops, Structured discussions, Brief papers, and Posters. The registration includes all the coffee-breaks and lunches. The conference banquet will take place in a beautiful historic venue, Palácio do Freixo, an historic and elegant venue for enjoying a memorable event.
