Any therapist who works with Trauma and Complex Grief. In this workshop, 

participants will work with their own and client material on aspects of 

complicated grief/loss and psychological trauma. We will explore the concept 

of resilience and discuss coping responses like humour, positive emotions 

and meaning making. In essence, grief/trauma is a unique experience for 

each individual and the workshop will explore how attachment theory and 

meaning making may inform the therapist’s work in this respect.

July, 6 16.00-18.40, Aivazovsky Hall

WOrKINg WITH CONCrETE syMBOLs

Christa Bravidor (germany, Jena) – Dr., Dipl.Psych., psychotherapist, member 

of DGPT. 

Heidi Krüger (germany, Jena) – Dr. phil., Dipl.Psych., psychotherapist, member 

of DGPT. 

When working in supervision it is often difficult to communicate preverbal 

moments. Concrete symbols can facilitate the access to feelings, conflicts 

and relationship experience that are nearly impossible to express. In our 

seminar each participant chooses symbols after intuition that fit the patient. 

Now begins the joint work on the material. There are references and a new 

perspective to the therapeutic process developed, identified areas of conflict.

July, 6 16.00-18.40, Brullov Hall

ADDICTION AND TIME-LIMITED grOUP THErAPIEs

Andrea giannelli (Milan, Italy) – M.D.; Psychiatry Executive Physician; Mental 

Health Department Policlinico Hospital; Adjunct Professor University of Milan; 

Group Psychotherapist (COIRAG); Executive Committee Italian Association 

Psychotherapies’ School (FIAP)

New forms of psychic suffering are becoming more and more common in 

our post-modern society. For this specific reason it’s important to conceive 

new therapeutic responses. Narcissism and addiction are responsible for 

maladaptive behaviours like any kind of addiction behaviour.

Following OMS guidelines, in order to better understand what is common 

in different forms of dependency, therapists have formulated what is called 

the Addiction paradigm: emphasis is put on addiction psychic implications 

more than biological ones.

Thanks to time-limited group therapy, patients who suffer from addiction 

are enabled to find a psychic place which can hold their distress and can 

awake relational possibilities. This kind of support stirs up and aids the 

restarting of psychic functions, such as hope that change can be possible 

and real.

The GRF (Group for psychological functioning restoring), thanks to a 

specific therapeutic technique focused on peer-group work and latency of 

the conflict area (pre-objectual relationship), can be a nimble model used 

for addiction.

An important peculiar therapeutical factor of GRF is the pre-group 

assessment and the contract signed by patient and therapist. In this contract 

therapist must clear up the length of the therapy, indicate the focus themes 

and suggest the patients that the treatment will not be incentrated on their 

symptoms.By leaving in latency the area of generational conflict, therapist 

can reinforce the patients’ fragile Self.

psychotherapy and NLPt), secretary general European Association for Neuro-

EAP, EMDR-Association Austria, Austrian Training Center for Neuro-Linguistic 

Programming and Neuro-Linguistic Psychotherapy. 

The theoretical and personal meaning of borders and normality in 

neurolinguistic psychotherapy dealing with borders, transgression and 

healing of borders are our daily focus in NLPt. Unconscious “normalities 

& values” can influence our work quite surprisingly. With specialized 

exercises and some theory will provide participants with both input for the 

psychotherapeutic work and NLPt training.

July, 7 13.00-15.40, Aivazovsky Hall

In humanistic and transpersonal approaches healing is a process of self-

knowledge, self-awareness and moving towards „wholeness“. In the first part 

of workshop we shall discuss and experience these approaches and share 

our experiences. In second part we shall reason how these approaches could 

be applied to the work with depressions and personal crises, performing 

and then discussing experiential “etude”, modeling depression with the 

help of bodywork.
