Speakers
Key speaker
Karl Tomm is Professor of Psychiatry at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Calgary and the Director of its Family Therapy Program.
He is deeply interested in the application of systems theory, narrative theory, social constructionism, and second order cybernetics to therapy. One of his most important contribution to family therapy is known as interventive interviewing and has influenced family therapists all around the world.
He is currently focused on clarifying the effects of social injustice on families and on explicating the possible therapeutic and counter therapeutic effects of the interviewing process itself.
Karl Tomm will animate the Masterclass that will precede the Conference on Thursday, June 22, 2017. He will present some of his latest work and give participants the opportunity to see him working clinically with clients. The presentation and clients' interviews will be held in English.
Note: the Masterclass is available only to Conference delegates (limited number of places).
