A conference serves as a structural part of the Congress, bringing together psychotherapists who share same modality or areas of professional interest. A conference may include (or be divided on) smaller-scale events, such as panel sections, seminars, round tables, debates dedicated to various aspects of the discussed modality or psychotherapeutic field.
A seminar majorly appears for a demonstration of practice and contains discussions on new developments in specific areas/problems of psychotherapy. A seminar implies active participation in discussions on the given topic and thus requires both speakers and participants to prepare themselves to speak up.
A panel section stands in as a place to verbally present the results of scientific work on the given topic or method of psychotherapy. Panel sessions do not include public discussions of the themes under consideration. After the presentations, interested parties may discuss topics of interest with the speakers privately.
Conference workshops (master classes, training seminars, groups) present a practical demonstration of new achievements in a certain modality of psychotherapy. A workshop can be given in the form of a small therapeutic group. The workshop can also be a supervision group; prove attendees with new skills or be of a more theoretical nature.
