We have now completed the Eight Symposium organized jointly by Ukrainian Umbrella Association of Psychotherapy (UUAP), the European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP), and the Polish expert team under National Consultant for Psychotherapy in Poland (in partnership with leading psychotherapeutic organisations from Poland).
We are very honoured that the Patron for this Symposium was Łukasz Műldner-Nieckowski, National Consultant for Psychotherapy in Poland.

Our Eighth Symposium included a Large therapy group for the participants, conducted by Professor Eugenijus Laurinaitis (European Association for Psychotherapy) and Professor Roman Kechur (Ukrainian Umbrella Association of Psychotherapy). It was focused on the theme “In Search of Truth and Humanity”. It was impactful, significant, and compassionate.
Almost 1300 delegates registered for the Symposium from Ukraine, and from all over the World. More than 650 participants attended the event.
This was a free event open to Psychotherapists. This Symposium was built on the World Council for Psychotherapy Statement regarding the invasion of Ukraine, which was adopted by EAP.
All participants of the Symposium unequivocally supported the statement of the World Council of Psychotherapy.
The Eighth Symposium reached more than 650 participants from 35 countries.
