Hello

Heloisa Fleury, IAGP President

It is an honor for the International Association for Group Psychotherapy and Group Processes (IAGP) to welcome colleagues from many countries, cultures, and professional backgrounds to the 5th IAGP Mediterranean Regional Congress in Antalya, Turkey.

This event, organized by the IAGP Trauma and Disaster Committee in partnership with Dr Ali Babaoğlu Psychodrama Sociodrama, Antalya Muratpaşa Municipality, the Public Mental Health Association and other local organizations, will focus on strategies and skills in working with communities facing new challenges from natural disasters and traumatic experiences.

Professionals from different theoretical approaches will explore updated references for group work in the context of trauma and disaster and consider their implications in different cultures and populations. Many regions of the globe are facing consequences of war and political oppression, natural disaster, and other difficult circumstances, compromising physiological and mental health, with the risk of remaining for generations.

I invite you to participate in this event. We will have new opportunities to exchange experiences and promote research, training, and practice of group psychotherapy and group processes under circumstances of trauma and natural disaster.

Hello

In this time of crisis and disasters, it is a great honor to invite and welcome all interested professionals to join the feat of the 5th IAGP Mediterranean Regional Congress (2023) in Antalya, organized by Ali Babaoglu Jungian Psychodrama Sociodrama Public Mental Health Association of Antalya.

Deniz Altınay, Co-Chair of the Conference
President of the Istanbul Psychodrama Institute

Dear Participants, Colleagues,
For the first time in Türkiye, this esteemed Trauma Conference is being organized under the
umbrella of IAGP as the 5th IAGP Mediterranean Regional Trauma and Disasters
Conference. The fact that this conference, organized under the leadership of Dr. Caner Bingöl,
the head of the IAGP Trauma and Disasters section, is being held in Antalya, Turkey, is
certainly not a coincidence.
Almost all of the mass traumas occurring around the world are abundantly present in our
region. natural disasters, social traumas stemming from inequalities, and the pain caused by
social and political disparities significantly affect the populations in our region. Consequently,
numerous experts and organizations in our country and around the world are conducting
extensive studies and accumulating experience in this field.
I believe that participating in this congress is our shared obligation to make our voices heard,
to share and proliferate more effective methods to combat traumas, and to draw public
attention to all the traumas occurring, both locally and globally.
With Sincere Respect,
