The Seventh International Interdisciplinary Gestalt Congress:

THE RENEWAL OF CONTACT

GESTALT AS A CEREMONY OF EXCHANGE AND BELONGING

Congress 2027.jpg

The 7th International Interdisciplinary Gestalt Congress will be held in Budva, Montenegro between 23rd and 26th September 2027. The topic of this congress will be “The renewal of contact: Gestalt as a ceremony of exchange and belonging”.

 

We are proud to be hosting Gestalt practitioners and practitioners from various fields, writers, researchers, and participants from many different professional and cultural backgrounds. This event is organized by the Psychotherapy Gestalt Institute Montenegro Budva.

Psychotherapy Gestalt Institute Montenegro Budva holds program in collaboration with various Gestalt centres, which form part of the EAPTI-GPTIM Network (EGN).

The EGN now regularly organizes these events, which provide a platform on which modern achievements in the development of Gestalt psychotherapy are presented and discussed by various presenters. We believe that these eminent experts in the field will contribute to the formation of new psychotherapists and provide continuous professional development for already established psychotherapists by discussing their experience, work, and research. For all other participants, we believe that the experience at the congress will be an inspiration in further work.

 

We look forward to meeting you there.

EAPTI-GPTIM NETWORK

EAPTI-GPTIM Network or EGN was established in 2018 as the result of the unique relationship of mutual trust, friendship, respect and support between Dr. Pecotic and her original group of colleagues, who are now head of the various institutes in the different countries, or their senior practitioners.

The main function of the network is not commercial but an educational-professional one. Apart from EAPTI-GPTIM, all the institutes are independently recognised and accredited by the European Association for Gestalt Therapy (EAGT) and the European Association of Psychotherapy (EAP).
