The 18th World Congress of Psychotherapy in Trondheim 2002



The World Congress of Psychotherapy was held in Trondheim, Norway in August 2002. There were gathered 604 participants from 26 countries and all continents. This was the 18th World congress in a series that started in London l948.

The main theme of the Congress was . Meeting places were created for many clinicians participating, both in the 15 Clinical Workshops, and the more theoretically angled plenary Keynote Lectures, which were followed by 24 Group Discussions.

In the Keynote Lectures there were presentations about evidence-based psychotherapy, research on short term psychotherapies, importance of
the therapist factors for outcome, assessments to increase effect of interventions, change factors in the psychotherapy process, the neuroscience revolution and its implications for psychotherapy research and practice, the two worlds of therapist and scientist, do they ever meet?

The Workshops covered a broad spectrum of themes, like short term anxiety-regulating therapy, cognitive therapy in anxiety, statistical methods in clinical practice, psychotherapy in children, psychoanalytical child psychotherapy, cognitive therapy with personality disorders, treatment of obsessions and compulsions, interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) for depression, integrated treatment of serious psychiatric disorder and alcohol and drug abuse, to give silent voices sound in relation to sexual abuse, and conceptual tools for psychotherapy supervision.

The congress had 32 Symposia, both over themes related to the main theme, and on other themes. In addition there were 47 posters. All in all, there were l94 presentations during the congress.

The Congress opened in the Olav Hall, Trondheims big concert hall, with a solemn opening ceremony, where the University president (NTNU -Norwegian University of Science and Technology), Eivind Hiis Hauge , declared the Congress for opened. Health Minister Dagfinn Hoybraten gave an opening speech, and the congress president, K Gunnar Gotestam(o¿¡ ¿ò¶ó¿ìÆ® ºÎÈ£°¡ »ý·«µÊ) gave an opening address. In addition there were several greetings to the congress, and there were also additional honorary guests present on the podium. The ceremony was surrounded by music, among other things to connect the former congress in Warsaw (represented by music written by Frederik Chopin), and this one in Trondheim (represented by music written by Chopins favorite pupil Thomas D A Tellefsen, born in Trondheim). A group of smaIl children played a potpourri, giving the audience good music, and a moving moment, towards a good mood for the forthcoming events.
