The European Association of Phenomenology, Psychopathology and Psychotherapy (EAPPP) invites submissions for the 3rd International Conference, to be held in Athens on 2–3 October 2026.
We welcome contributions that engage with the conference theme:
“Phenomenology and Psychotherapy: Disclosing Meaning in Encounters.”
This conference invites contributions that explore psychotherapeutic encounters as sites of the disclosure of meaning, where the lifeworld of subjects can show itself from itself, free from distortions of causal or axiological prejudices. The conference welcomes contributions in this broad direction, including both reflections on clinical practice and theoretical inquiries that engage empirical psychology, psychiatry, psychotherapy, and the phenomenological tradition (e.g., Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean-Paul Sartre, Emmanuel Levinas, etc.).
In an age increasingly dominated by diagnostic abstraction and therapeutic standardisation, this conference asks: what would it mean to return to the phenomenon itself in the space of the encounter?
