The theme of the conference  was 'Challenges in Integrative Psychotherapy'. In keynote addresses, workshops and panels, we  explored some of the many challenges facing the integrative practitioner. These  included:

• integrating transpersonal and developmental perspectives,

• how much and when to self disclose,

• integrating specific treatment modalities  within a relational model,

• integrating body processes and regressive states into an integrative approach,

• offering culturally sensitive integrative practice,

• working with specific issues such as envy and trauma.

•  The keynote address was given by  Dr. Karen Maroda, a Relational Psychoanalyst, who agreed to come from America to give a paper on 'Sex, Desire and Power in the Therapeutic Relationship'. Professor Andrew Samuels, a well-known Jungian Analysi, also spoke on 'Integrative Psychotherapy in the Wider World: Spirituality, Politcs and Masculinity'. There was a round table discussion on 'The Therapist's Use of Self in the Therapeutic Encounter' with Joanna Ablack, Ken Evans, Michael Randolph, Patti Wallace, Chaired by Diana Shmulker.

• The conference  also provided the launching point for the European Certificate in Integrative Psychotherapy with first awards being presented by the EAIP Registrar ken Evans  This was a highly significant development for the EAIP and the credibility of Integrative Psychotherapy across Europe.
