Association for Systemic Solutions

according to Bert Hellinger:

 

3rd International Conference

on Family Constellations

 

May 1 – 4, 2001 In Würzburg, Germany

 

The family constellation work as developed by Bert Hellinger has powerfully expanded during the last years within the German speaking countries and it is strongly gaining in significance intemationally.  By the professional community it is considered one of the most important developments in contemporary psychotherapy. The constellation work however goes beyond psychotherapy.  In severe collective entanglements involving heavy guilt and suffering it may become a deeply moving and a powerfully changing way of reconciliation.

 

The topics of the conference:

 

-        Basics:

Introduction to the present-day state of family constellations including theoretical overview, in depth understanding of the phenomenological attitude essential in the constellation work and first hand practical experience

 

-        Further development:

A lively documentation of the constellation work's further creative development in the therapeutic, educational, legal, intercultural and political fields.  Current and projected research on the results of the constellation work will be presented.

 

-        The main focus of the conference:

Perspectives for solutions in ethnic conflicts

Conflicts in families and communities caused by differences in religion, culture and shared history; their consequences in the unconscious of the individiual, of the famiiy and of the nation; the transgenerational transmission of these consequences; attempts for solutions which may promote the bridging between psychotherapy and political decisions: These subjects will be thoroughly investigated in lectures and in workshops.

From different nations “psycho-political” projects will be presented which have proved to be successfull.

 

Bert Hellinger live: for 1 l/2 days Bert Hellinger will demonstrate his work with families involved in ethnic conflicts.  The constellation work will also be demonstrated as a most effective tool for supervision when therapists from the audience present difficult cases of families in ethnic conflicts.

 

Project contest: A project will be awarded which implements or plans a project in the social field applying the constellations approach in creative and effective ways.  The awarding will be performed by the audience and by a coordinating jury, and includes the decision on a considerable financial support for the project.

 

Conference language: English and German with simultaneous translation during the plenary meetings. According to the needs there will be simultaneous or consecutive translation support in the other meetings.
