Conference Agenda

This Dream Team presentation emerges from the international initiative Systemic Voices for Peace, which invites systemic thinkers and practitioners to reflect on global crises and societal challenges through a systemic lens. Building on the Manifesto’s call for awareness, dialogue, and responsibility, our session explores the role of psychotherapy in nurturing peace, justice, and relational responsibility.

We view psychotherapy not as a neutral or apolitical practice, but as an engaged ethical stance—one that acknowledges the interconnectedness of personal, relational, and societal systems. Peace, from a systemic perspective, is not just the absence of conflict but the presence of justice, dignity, and mutual dialogue.

Through collaborative dialogue and shared reflection, we aim to share collective insights on the challenges and responsibilities that arise when systemic practice meets social and political realities. Moreover, we aim to explore psychotherapy as a space of resistance, accountability, and hope—a form of political and ethical practice that can contribute to peacebuilding within and beyond the therapy room.

In the spirit of ECQI’s commitment to relational, reflexive, and transformative inquiry, this presentation invites participants to join an open systemic dialogue about what it means to be therapists and citizens in times of global conflicts and uncertainty.
