The 4th Congress of the Japanese Federation for Psychotherapy (part two)

(part one)

The signing ceremony between Dr Pritz as General Secretary of the EAP and Dr Sakuta as General Secretary of the JFP was held following a presentation on World Psychotherapy. This formalized the establishment of the relationship and collaboration between the European Association for Psychotherapy and the Japanese Federation for Psychotherapy. The names of the first Japanese psychotherapists to be awarded the Japanese Certificate for Psychotherapy (including doctors, psychiatrists and clinical psychologists) by the Japanese Federation for Psychotherapy were announced. Those who were present at the JFP 4th congress were presented with their Certification by Dr Pritz and Dr Sakuta.

Other topics presented during the 4th Congress of Japanese Federation for Psychotherapy included one on "Freud and Trauma" written by Dr Keigo Okonogi of Tokyo International University Institute of Clinical Psychology. Unfortunately, due to illness Dr Okonogi was unable to give his presentation in person. Another key presentation on "Childhood Trauma and Psychotherapy, Core issues on the Concept of Resilience" was given on Sunday 26th January by the psychiatrist Dr Satoru Saitou, the chairman of 4th Congress of Japanese Federation for Psychotherapy.

Dr Saitou focused on the concept of resilience and its implications and importance not only in the study of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) but also in the care of and when necessary treatment of people who have experienced traumatic life events. In the future, from the perspectives of treatment and prevention in trauma work, enhancing or possibly developing this resilience will become a keyword.
