Topic:

Today, even though the bio-psycho-social-ecological understanding of health and disease is discussed worldwide, it has not by any means gained anything like universal acceptance. Psychosomatic research and developments in the treatment of psychosomatic patients have added considerably to this discussion. How do patients experience the interplay between body, mind, soul, and environment? Why do genes and experiences during pregnancy and early-childhood, especially in relation to the development of attachment, have such a persistent effect on all of these areas throughout the lifespan? What role can the diagnosis of psychosomatic conditions, psychotherapy, and prevention have in the context of chronic disease and geriatric medicine? Is prevention of psychosomatic disorders even possible? Internationally renowned researchers, clinicians, educators, and psychotherapists try to answer these questions and report on the results of their latest studies and on their clinical experiences.

Speakers:Arnold Sameroff, Christian Schubert, Markus Heinrichs, Kerstin Uvnäs-Moberg, Nevena Vuksanovic, Felix Tretter, Egon Garstick, Robert G. Maunder, Lachlan McWilliams, Ulrich T. Egle, Karl Heinz Brisch and others.

Target groups:

Conference is aimed atphysicians of all disciplines as well as psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, social workers, educators, youth workers, and all therapists and counselors involved in the diagnosis and treatment of psychosomatic disorders in infants, children, adolescents and adults.
