The second annual international symposium

Dialogue on approaches to the treatment of addiction

25.10.2024 – 27.10.2024

This symposium is a continuation of last year’s and aims to continue the discussion between experts on the theory and practice of psychotherapy of addiction.

Ukrainian colleagues presented their own innovative model of psychotherapy of addictions, which is an integral stage of recovery after rehabilitation for people with addiction experience. The theoretical research and practical implementation of the developed model, called „Transfigurative Psychotherapy,“ have shown high efficiency in the treatment of addictions.

This year’s symposium summarizes the results of several years of work – reflections, theoretical discussions, implementation of educational and psychotherapeutic projects.

We look forward to an open dialogue with numerous foreign colleagues, leading experts in this field, to develop and improve our method. Participants of the symposium will have the opportunity to learn about an innovative approach to addiction treatment and to communicate personally with project participants who have undergone psychotherapeutic treatment.
