 Wisdom in Practice - From Existential Training to Therapeutic Encounter

We are excited to announce that registration and abstract submissions for the Wisdom in Practice conference, by ISUE-SPEs and FETE, are now open! Join us in the beautiful city of Rome from May 21-23, 2025, for an inspiring gathering of existential therapists from across the globe.

Existential therapies are united by shared principles, but our practices are as diverse as the countries we come from. Whether it’s our therapeutic methods, training models, or the regulations governing psychotherapy, each of us brings something unique to the table. Yet this diversity sometimes leads to a lack of clarity for both individuals and health institutions about the true significance of existential therapy in the broader landscape of psychological care.

This conference is an opportunity for us to come together, not just as individuals representing our own experiences, but as a collective, to reflect on existential therapy as a whole. Our work began 9 years ago, and now it’s time to build on that foundation. 

Our focus is on a central question: What are the unmet needs of existential therapy today? We will explore challenges in defining the target audience for our therapies, evolving our methodologies, adopting new tools, addressing borderline cases, refining student training, and improving collaboration with psychiatry, among other key topics. 

Each of us has a perspective to share, and we believe it’s time to bring those insights together. That’s why this conference will emphasize discussion and collaboration more than ever before. Expect a dynamic event filled with round tables, discussion rooms, poster sessions, and opportunities for meaningful exchange. 

Whether you’re a keynote speaker, a young colleague, or a student, we invite you to join us in Rome. Let’s meet, engage, and share ideas to collectively shape the future of existential therapy.

By the end of the conference, we aim to pose precise, thought-provoking questions that will guide future existential therapy congresses. 

Don’t miss out—register today, and be part of this vital conversation!
