12th International Forum of Daseinsanalysis
Daseinsanalysis in an unstable world
When a crisis comes upon a culture, when the culture is in danger, shaken by uncertainty and doubt and lost in the vortex of events, it usually turns back to its roots to draw new energy and motivation and shake the dust off the old truths that lie there. Thanks to the Daseinsanalytic experience of being-in-the-world, we have long known that uncertainty and threat count among its essential characteristics. Jiří Růžička, organiser

The most recent forum · 2 – 4 June 2023 · Zurich, Switzerland
11th International Forum of Daseinsanalysis
Martin Heidegger’s Impact on Psychotherapy
In 1998 Gion Condrau published a book entitled «Martin Heidegger's Impact on Psychotherapy», which is the topic of this forum. Exactly twenty-five years after the book was published, we want to ask ourselves again what influence Heidegger has on today's psychotherapy. Basically, the question of what psychotherapy is can only be answered «on the basis of philosophical insight into what the essence of human being is». Josef Jenewein, organiser
