Together with the Polish Society for Psychological and Social Approaches to Psychosis and the Psychosis Psychotherapy Forum, we would like to invite you to a jointly organised Congress: "Connections. Bonding and loneliness in psychosis". The academic partner of the congress will be the Trauma and Dissociation Research Centre at the Ignatianum Academy in Krakow. It will take place on 12 and 13 April 2024 in Katowice at the Novotel Hotel and will be preceded by a pre-conference workshop.
The main theme of our congress will be the importance of attachment in psychosis. We believe that attachment, or the lack thereof, has a key impact on the occurrence of a psychotic crisis and on the course of the recovery process. The conference programme will also cover clinical and social aspects of psychosis, such as the use of pharmacotherapy in treatment. Furthermore, we would like to create a space for sharing individual and family experiences. In addition to the scheduled presentations, we would therefore also like to warmly invite you to present your scientific and clinical work and share your experience of psychosis. For more information and a price list, please visit HERE.

- psychotherapists and psychotherapists of all modalities,
- male and female psychologists,
- psychiatrists and psychiatrists,
