We are glad to announce the \ufb01rst European Conference on the topic of adolescence that will be held in 2024, from 28th to 30th of August in the fascinating Sicilian city of Siracusa, Italy. We see it as a special and hopefully thought provoking opportunity for child and adolescent analysts and trainees, but also for those who \u2013 even working exclusively with adults – are confronted in their everyday clinical practice with adolescence as a state of mind and as an always challenging cultural and anthropological dimension.<\/p>\n
We would like to stimulate the active participation of all analytically-trained therapists interested in sharing their re\ufb02ections on the contemporary developments in the theory and practice of the analytical approach to adolescence. The title of the Conference, Adolescence: Anxieties and Forms of Resilience<\/strong>, is meant to address a dramatic polarity: Anxiety \u2013 on the one hand \u2013 is a hidden or at times overwhelming everyday companion of adolescents, leading them to a variety of manifestations of their psychic pain, ranging from living in the alienating dimension of a disembodied (cyber)-space to the disruptive dimension of self-harming conducts, from the incumbent paralysis of depression to the frantic and sterile acceleration of a world made meaningless, from a \ufb02attened past to an unthinkable future. But on the other hand, the title addresses resilience as a key factor, the ultimate vital resource of the adolescent mind, ready to be held and to unfold via the precious work of the transference.<\/p>\n The IAAP Executive Committee together with the Working Party on Childhood and Adolescence chaired by Brigit Soubrouillard has encouraged this conference responding to the need expressed by analysts from all over Europe. This is also a recognition of the contribution made by Jungian analysts who work with children and adolescents to the theory and practice of analytical psychology. It is a great opportunity to put together di\ufb00erent clinical approaches developed in recent years to hopefully create a corpus of ideas and methods based on our re\ufb02ections and observations. We encourage the submission of abstracts and posters, with clinical and theoretical contributions.<\/p>\n The Conference working language will be English. Contributors to the plenary can choose to present in their native language, but they are requested to provide an English version that will be shown on the screen during the presentation. English versions of presentations in the breakout sessions or posters are also mandatory. All discussions will be carried out only in English. There will be no professional interpreters but we are confident that, with a good spirit of cooperation and mutual support, all participants will help in making the dialogue fruitful and deeply engaging also for those that are not particularly skilled in the use of English.<\/p>\n Call for Papers:<\/strong><\/p>\n Abstracts should be of no more than 300 words in length and must be in English. The Deadline for abstract submission is September 15th, 2023<\/em>.
