In a rapidly globalizing world, psychotherapists must develop cultural competence and therapeutic adaptability. This keynote presents the "Global Therapist" through Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy (PPT), a humanistic, psychodynamic method founded in 1977 by Nossrat Peseschkian. Emphasizing resources, values, and intercultural dialogue, PPT uses the Life Balance Model—focusing on body, work, relationships, and meaning—as a tool for diagnosis and growth. Dr. Hamid Peseschkian will explore PPT’s global application in psychotherapy and counselling, highlighting storytelling, metaphors, and transcultural techniques. Drawing on worldwide training and clinical experience, he will show how PPT equips therapists to meet 21st-century mental health challenges with empathy, structure, and hope.
