A welcome message from the WAPPC President Yuri Tor
Dear colleagues, welcome to the WAPPC!
If we were to choose one key word to convey the idea of our association, it would be a word INTEGRATION. In our profession, integration has a special meaning: it is both the main subject of our work with patients and an ongoing task of our industry: to find a place in the psychotherapeutic paradigm for methods and approaches that offer quite different paths to mental health. Another important point is the inclusion of medical knowledge in work with the psyche and close cooperation with doctors. Our association also has an additional integration task – to unite organizations and specialists who work for the benefit of psychotherapy in different countries of the world.
If you resonate with the idea of collaborating with colleagues from different parts of the world, different schools and approaches for the common goal of scientific development of psychotherapy, join us as a collaborating organization, as a delegate or associate member.
