2021 Dünya Aile Terapisi Kongresi
2021 IFTA Dünya Aile Terapisi Kongresi’nin ilk olarak Basel’de planlanmıştı ancak pandemi nedeniyle konferans online formata geçti. Asistanım Elif Balcıoğlu ile birlikte üretmek ve sunum yapmak benim için büyük bir zevkti. Sanal bir platforma geçişe rağmen, etkili şekilde meslektaşlarımızdan öğrenme ve deneyimlerimizi paylaşma fırsatı bulduk.

The originally planned location for the 2021 IFTA Family Therapy Congress was Basel, but due to the pandemic, the conference transitioned to an online format. It was a tremendous pleasure for me to present alongside my intern, Elif Balcıoğlu. Despite the shift to a virtual platform, we had the opportunity to learn from our colleagues and share our experiences.

Long Abstract: Seligman and Csikszentmihalyi (2000) defined positive psychology as the study of positive emotion, positive character, and positive institutions. After their epochal work, positive psychology grabbed the attention of professionals and researchers. Researchers studying positive psychology mainly focus around well-being, awe, flow, happiness, mindfulness, compassion and resilience. Although there are numerous studies on positive psychology, positive psychology, and family therapy studies are rare. Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy (STST), developed by Virginia Satir, has several common notions with positive psychology, such as change-oriented and positively directional. Meta-goals of STST are raising self-esteem, becoming a choice-maker, becoming responsible, and becoming congruent (Satir, Banmen, Gomori, & Gerber 1991). In this workshopSatir Transformational Systemic Therapy and Positive Psychology concepts will be addressed. Then experiential and therapeutic exercises will be demonstrated on integrating positive psychology into STST.
