WCP 2025

Current times are plagued with crises, but also major advances have been made concerning the promotion of mental health and wellbeing which is the foundation of the work of psychotherapists.  This plenary will present historic events, agreements and resolutions that have been passed at the United Nations that are critical for all psychotherapists to know about as they support their work. These importantly and in some cases surprisingly include support of the arts and culture, as well as resolutions related to love and human consciousness, and practices that include yoga and meditation, that are important to WCP members and essential to their work.  The tripartite model will be presented as a context where advocacy complements clinical work and research. Techniques for advocacy will be presented as well as the specifics of the agreements, and how psychotherapists can participate in the work on the global stage and bring the “Polarities of Life” together to enhance their work and their impact on people in their practice, communities, societies, and world.
