Panamericano Hotel, Buenos Aires, Argentina

"Global Sharing in Challenging Times"

Be a part of the annual congress and a part of IFTA and the variety of things the organization has to offer. You will be able to enjoy lectures from the leading speakers in the field, join the friends of IFTA, and take part in the chamber of association meeting and much more

Come join us at the congress that brings together preeminent thinkers and scholars in the field of family therapy and deals with issues regarding the crucial role that family therapy plays in process of coexistence, healing, and reconciliation as it relates to trauma, violence, abuse, and suffering throughout the world.

The goal for the congress is the same as it has been since IFTA was founded in 1987: Advancing family therapy worldwide by promoting research, education, and sound practice, and promoting international cooperation and exchange of knowledge and ideas that support the health and well-being of families and persons around the world. The World Family Therapy Congress provides magnificent opportunities for face-to-face sharing of ideas, accelerated learning, and networking with colleagues and leaders in the field of family therapy from various parts of the globe.

The 2010 theme, Family Therapy 2010: Global Sharing in Challenging Times, will focus on sharing findings, approaches to problems and ways of coping with them and helping to heal hurting families, couples, and children in various cultures, and fostering mental health and growth in challenging times. Communicating and networking among therapists both during their time in Buenos Aires and when they return to their homes and communities will be a significant part of the congress process. The congress will celebrate our ability through face-to-face contacts and contemporary technology and modes of communication to learn from others as we continue to develop awareness of how we live simultaneously in “one world” and many worlds, and especially how the development of family therapy is rapidly becoming a mutual back-and-forth process in which we can and o learn new ways from all parts of the world.
