And here they are - the final group of speakers in our Meet the Speakers series! 🌍It is almost hard to believe that the time has finally come. This week, we will meet our dear colleagues and delegates from around the world on the beautiful Adriatic coast for the 8th World Congress of Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy.For many months, we have been introducing the people, topics, research, ideas, and perspectives that will shape these days together. Now, very soon, names and photographs will become real conversations, presentations will turn into discussions, and colleagues travelling from different parts of the world will finally meet in the same place.We come together to learn from one another, to reflect on our profession and the world around us, perhaps to change something in ourselves and to think together about what we can change beyond ourselves. But just as importantly, we come to see old friends, make new ones, share experiences, laugh, talk, and enjoy that rare feeling of being together as an international professional community. 🤝This #WAPP2026 Congress has been a long time in the making, and so much care, work, and anticipation have gone into preparing it. Now there is only one thing left to say:We are waiting for you. We are so happy that this week has finally arrived, and we cannot wait to welcome you all to Montenegro! 💚8th World Congress of Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy11–16 October 2026 | MontenegroDetails & program:wapp2026.org#positivepsychotherapy ...

WAPP Monthly Highlights | September 2026September at WAPP had one clear focus: the World Congress #WAPP2026 is almost here! 🌍This month has been all about final preparations, and very soon we’ll have the great pleasure of welcoming our delegates from 37 countries to the 8th World Congress of Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy. After so many months of preparation, we can hardly believe it’s finally time!And September brought plenty of other good news too.🎉 70 new members joined WAPP this month - an amazing number! A very warm welcome to each of you.📚 It was also a big month for #WAPPpress, with three new releases in three languages:• the Bulgarian edition of the new biography of Nossrat Peseschkian;• Nossrat Peseschkian’s “Everyone Is Smart: Some Sooner, Some Later”, published in English for the first time;• “On the Difficulties of Pleasing Everyone: Narrative Approaches in Therapeutic Work with Children and Adolescents” by Cornelia Leissner and Julia Hristov — a beautifully illustrated book for children, parents and professionals.The books are available through our website, shop and library, with printed editions also available via Amazon. And if you’re coming to the Congress, you’ll be able to see many of them there in person. Happy reading! 📖💫 Our September #SoulEvening was led by Aleksandr Gershanov on “When Stress Persists: Developing Resilience and Preserving Inner Resources” - a practical webinar full of techniques for working with prolonged stress. The recording is now available exclusively to WAPP members in English and Ukrainian in the video library on WAPP Member Portal.And now… September is behind us, and Congress month has begun. For many of us, the next WAPP update won’t just be about what happened, it will be about what we experienced together. See you very soon in Montenegro! 💙#PositivePsychotherapy ... See MoreSee Less
