EABP's Summer Flyer in PDF [what is a PDF?] from the conference invitation: We are pleased to invite you at the 9th EABP congress which will take place in Athens & Marathon - Greece, from 7th to 10th of October 2004. The aims of the congress are: - To open a dialogue with other mainstreams of psychotherapy focused on the body as an important factor in the therapeutic process.
- To hold round table discussions among Body-Psychotherapy schools on common ground and specific methods and techniques concerning touch, diagnosis and prevention.
- To update psychotherapists with the latest research developments within their field as well as in others adjacent to it, such us neuroscience, biochemistry, neurophysiology, anthropology, etc. and to continue the interdisciplinary dialogue uniting theory and practice.
The many presentations, workshops, videos, round table discussions and the presence of most of the body-psychotherapy training schools, the interesting panel of guest speakers, as well as the wonderful location on the beach, give us a promising perspective for a vibrant, exciting and inspiring congress. We look forward to your participation and enriching presence. The Congress Planning Committee Clorinda Lubrano-Cotoula (chair)
Al Pesso "Holes in Roles" Pre-Conference Institute Description Holes in Roles by Albert Pesso My work with individuals, couples and families over four decades leads me to the notion that human infants enter the world genetically supplied with an innate template that prepares them to instinctively recognize and intuitively respond to the various, familial, kinship figures they will encounter as they grow up. Further, as well as having an innate tendency to “see and react to” those kinship roles, they also seem to have the innate, rudimentary potentiality to “take on” and “act the part of” each and every one of those kinship roles as situations seem to require in the family settings they grow up in. If a child has had the misfortune of learning and experiencing that their parents were sorely wounded due to the neglect that their parents experienced in their own rearing -- innately knowing that all children need and have an inner expectation of experiencing such care -- their little hearts and compassionate souls immediately awaken the unspoken, perhaps also unconscious, but deeply felt wish that their parents could have been better cared for. In this workshop we will review the notion of Holes in Roles and see how the clients who have unwittingly filled the holes in the roles that should have been the suppliers of their parents maturational needs have distorted their own personalities and led to dysfunctional patterns in their adult lives and adult partner choices. Most importantly we will demonstrate and teach how to release clients from those burdensome tasks thus enabling them to live more satisfying lives in their partnerships and within their actual family structures.
