In the field of tension between forces of death and life
- conflicts and contradictions in childhood and adolescence
Welcome to the 35th anniversary of the Institute for Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy (IBUP). "In the field of tension between the forces of death and the forces of life - The contradictory in childhood and adolescence" is our conference title. For 35 years, IBUP has been an institute that has educated child and adolescent therapists. This year, IBUP's anniversary conference will focus on the forces in the psyche that move in the direction of division and fragmentation and forces that seek to integrate, unite and create meaning. The theme here will be death and life; in relationships, in the body and in inner space, in adults and children, and in the very youngest.
