Letters from the conference chairs
Dear Colleagues
We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to submit a
presentation proposal for an international conference, entitled
*" Imagine: Expression in the Service of Humanity",
*To be held in Israel on April 2-6, 2006
This conference will focus on the development of creative therapeutic
tools appropriate for dealing with conflict in general and the
Israeli-Palestine conflict in particular.
The predominant theme is to touch and understand the pain of the other
as a vehicle for growth and development and an opportunity to explore
new ideas and approaches.
We intend to listen, thought, learn and conduct research together.
The conference will bring together a multidisciplinary group of
researchers and practitioners from fields including group psychotherapy
and group analysis, psychology, psychiatry, the expressive therapies,
education, social work and related areas of inquiry, as well as from the
arts.
The program will incorporate presentations by distinguished speakers,
simultaneous symposia, workshops and panels. Some off the many theories
and themes to be explored include: Living with Conflict and Ongoing
Trauma; Conflict Resolution Among Indigenous Societies; Developing
Dialog During a Time of Conflict; Building Resilience in the Face of
Existential Survival Issues; Artistic Responses to Difficult Times; and
Social Trauma - Conscious and Subconscious Consequences
We look forward to seeing you in Israel.
Sincerely,
