Plural connections
The digital revolutions have profoundly changed our means of communication and our ways of relating. At the same time, the Covid crisis and successive confinements have accelerated these transformations and, faced with the sharp increase in mental health disorders over this period, new tools to support mental health have multiplied: remote consultations, chatbot therapists , therapeutic apps accessible free to all, etc. But what are the consequences of these profound changes on therapeutic practices and on the therapeutic relationship? Do remote therapies work? How is the therapeutic alliance built online? What place can AI have in therapies? Can a therapeutic chatbot replace a therapist? What are its limits? Can it be dangerous?
At the same time, the need to consider the individual in relation to himself, his body and his emotions, with others and with his environment has broadened a vision of mental health locked in a medicalized prism with new practices, marking an expansion multidisciplinary therapeutic approaches with all kinds of approaches. How to navigate these multiple proposals? How can we define what we call integrative medicine today?
In order to address these new challenges in mental health, Professor Gérard Ostermann will present integrative medicine and the new challenges of mental health.
Jeffrey Jackson will tell us about the studies carried out using data from the SYPRENE practice and research network on the efficiency of online therapies, and Barbara Liano and Olivier Brosseau will introduce the new SYPRENE.com and SYPRENE.org platforms.
These conferences will be followed by thematic workshops, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

He has clinical experience working with individuals, couples, families and groups at all stages of life and in all settings, in a wide range of areas. Her clinical specializations include relationship distress, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, disability, ambiguous loss, singleness, premarital counseling, adolescents and parent-child relationships, and reactive attachment. Dr. Jackson has published numerous articles in peer-reviewed journals and is a frequent speaker at national and international conferences. CONFERENCE : “Artificial Intelligence in Brief Strategic and Systemic Therapy: Improving Clinical Research and Practice” Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the therapeutic landscape by offering new tools and possibilities to practitioners and clients. In this presentation, we will explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can be integrated into clinical research and brief strategic and systemic therapy (SBST). AI can play a critical role in various aspects of clinical research, including helping to design research protocols, automating data collection processes, translating measurements, and comparing results in different cultural contexts. We will discuss ethical aspects of AI integration, such as protecting patient privacy and managing data in accordance with research ethics approvals. Ultimately, AI has the potential to complement the therapist's role in providing effective, culturally competent care, but it also raises questions about the human element in therapy that we must continue to address.

CONFERENCE : “Human factors technology: art and therapeutic technique” Despite technological advances, the human factor remains a central and irreplaceable element of the therapeutic process. The effectiveness of a therapy does not depend only on the technical part, but above all on the harmony that is created between the psychologist and the patient, on the ability to build a relationship based on trust and effective communication, that is to say, which makes one feel and act differently. Will it still be like this in the future? We will analyze together the decisive elements of therapeutic evolution |

CONFERENCE: “Why is online therapy effective in the treatment of OCD?” From clinical research carried out in specialist OCD clinics in Malta, Italy, Ireland and France, we have found that online therapy is surprisingly effective for OCD patients and, in some respects, potentially more effective than conventional face-to-face treatment methods. In addition to being a versatile and convenient option for treating mental health issues in general, online therapy offers a number of significant benefits specific to people with OCD, including access to therapists who are specialized and experienced in OCD, working in real-world environments, addressing resistant patients who have difficulty leaving their 'safe place', while providing close support, even between sessions. Clinical research conducted in OCD clinics provides a better understanding of how strategic online therapy can improve the therapeutic alliance and treatment adherence, even in the most resistant cases of OCD. |

The Reasons Of The Wrath
There can be many reasons for anger. Frustration, injustice, betrayal, contempt or lack of respect, physical or emotional pain, stress, impulsivity, feeling of helplessness, communication problems or even the influence of substances, understanding the reasons for anger is essential to understand how this emotion works and its role in our lives. At school, in the workplace, in the family, anger is expressed towards oneself, others or the world and can be the cause of more deep-rooted psychological disorders. Did you know that, according to SYPRENE research data, anger is present in 29% of phobic disorders, in 38% of panic disorders, in 37% of OCD and in 50% of depression?
From 3:15 p.m. to 4 p.m., Roberta Milanese, author of an essay on anger “Rabbia” will return to this contagious emotion that we do not know enough about.
From 4:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Claude de Scorraille, Grégoire Vitry and Olivier Brosseau will give a presentation on systemic diagnosis.
Three workshops will then allow us to delve deeper into the role of anger and its treatment in the family, business and education.

Introduction |
Roberta MILANESE | Roberta Milanese, psychologist and psychotherapist, has been a research associate at the Arezzo Strategic Therapy Center, directed by Giorgio Nardone, for over 25 years. Lecturer at the School of Specialization in Brief Strategic Psychotherapy, she is also educational coordinator of the School of Strategic Communication, Coaching, Problem Solving and Performance Science in Milan, where she lives and works. For years she has been an international trainer of the strategic model in clinical and managerial master's courses in Italy and abroad. She has published fifteen books on the strategic approach, translated into several languages, including Strategic Change (with Giorgio Nardone, 2018). The deceptive fear of not being good enough (2020), The wounded spirit (with G. Nardone and F. Cagnoni, 2021), Anger. An emotion to tame and ride (2023), The Revenge of Weaknesses. From the perfectionist to the insecure, strategies to transform our limits into superpowers (2024) and The Eclipse of Hope. Reflections on suicide and the mourning of loved ones (with A. Ghinassi, 2024). Conference: “Anger: an emotion to be tamed and controlled” Of all the emotions, anger is certainly the one that has the most power to make us lose our minds: it can make us say unpleasant things or induce reactions that are harmful to us and to others. This is why it has always been considered a dangerous emotion, to be avoided at all costs. In reality, anger is the most “energizing” emotion there is: it can give us the strength to react to a threat or injustice, it can be the engine of change that we otherwise would not have been able to. realize differently, it can help us better clarify our needs and desires and push us to try to achieve them. For all these reasons, it can be an important resource, a powerful force that we must however know how to manage and use wisely, otherwise we will suffer and cause suffering to those around us. Like a wild horse which, if not tamed, leads us to ruin, anger, if we know how to tame it, will be the steed to ride to achieve the desired goal. |

| Clinical psychologist, doctor of psychology in private practice in Bordeaux. Teacher at the University of Bordeaux. Member of the editorial board of the Journal des Psychologues and the journal Terapia Familiare in Italy and the Journal of Psychosial Systems in Italy. Director of the “Art of Psychotherapy” collection at ESF editions. Author of several books and articles, speaker, trainer and team supervisor. CONFERENCE : “When anger creeps into the couple: photolanguage another possibility.” The use of metaphors to define or describe a situation, a context, is of great use in the demanding clinic of supporting couples. It is not uncommon for couples to come to therapy because at least one of the partners is angry; wanting to erase or erase the latter would be a serious strategic error, which would amount to refusing the entry point of the system, to erasing responsibilities and to ignore possible traumatic events. When the reasons for anger are linked to betrayal, deception which represent the extra-marital relations, the therapist must negotiate with his own values and definitions of the couple and the risks of slipping into a linear reading full of judgments are significant. The metaphor and here, the marital photolanguage becomes a significant asset to help the couple to think about themselves, to redefine themselves and to think about the future. The presentation of a photolanguage created especially for couples, which introduces the notion of the third in a fun and relevant way will be proposed here and illustrated using two clinical examples. |

| Dr Philippe AÏM, Psychiatrist and psychotherapist, trainer and speaker, director of the UTHyL Institute, author in particular of “Listen, Speak: Heal” and “Facing school bullying”. CONFERENCE: “What is the harasser a victim of?” This provocative question is there to remind us that unlike aggression, harassment is a relationship that develops between two people. The helplessness felt by the victim of school bullying is the cause of intense suffering. Equipping the child to emerge from this helplessness allows us to discover a strange systemic truth. Anger is not a feeling of the aggressor but of the victim. Using it in return amounts to doing “always more of the same thing”, and yet this is what is constantly offered to us… |

A relationship therapist, she now supports young people and their families, adults and couples. CONFERENCE: "Systemics at school, how indirect intervention allows an effective and efficient network around the student in difficulty" This conference will focus on showing how the sometimes rigid expectations of the Institution can be experienced as a form of mistreatment by certain students who then find themselves singled out, stigmatized because they do not fit into a specific mold - these expectations , relayed by the teacher, which can lead to discomfort going as far as rejection from school.

CONFERENCE: “Crossing tensions at work with the SLAC game” How can we engage work groups in a process to overcome tensions? How can we not do “more of the same” by drawing on rare or even missing resources for the implementation of an active innovative approach to quality of life at work for a team already under constraints? The SLAC card game is the result of several years of reflection around the understanding of well-being at work. It was developed as part of the Management & Occupational Health Chair at Grenoble IAE. The objective of this systemic game is to raise awareness of what makes everyone well-being at work, but also of what constraints are experienced and what resources are likely to be mobilized. It is about creating a space for dialogue around the work, resources and constraints of the organization and the team. |

Editorial
Damn obsessions
Who has never been haunted by unwanted thoughts that we try to chase away and which keep coming back? Who, anxious at the idea of these thoughts returning, has not surprised themselves by submitting to protective rituals aimed at keeping these thoughts away? When these obsessive thoughts take hold with their responding compulsions, it is called obsessive compulsive disorder. Today, OCD has become one of the leading mental disorders in Western countries and its consequences on daily life can become a real handicap with serious repercussions on social life, work, etc. How to get out of the OCD trap? Claude de Scorraille, psychologist and president of LACT, director of the OCD and Anxiety Disorders Clinic in partnership with the European center the OCD Clinic, will speak on this evil of the century and on the effectiveness of brief systemic and strategic therapies to come to end of OCD.

Emmanuelle GALLIN
| Systemic therapist, LACT researcher Moderator |
| D.Psych, consultant clinical psychotherapist, founder of OCD Clinic® ( the OCD clinic ) and training at The Coaching Clinic®. A senior research associate at LACT/SYPRENE and lecturer at Dublin City University, he specializes in behavioral psychology and strategic problem solving. He teaches and conducts research at the Centro Di Terapia Strategica in Italy. Author of research published in renowned journals such as the British Medical Journal, he currently supervises international research projects. CONFERENCE: “Efficiency of the strategic systemic approach for OCD / CBT vs Systemic Approach” Key points :
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a common treatment for OCD, which aims to change destructive thought patterns through gradual exposure to anxiety triggers. However, many patients do not respond fully to CBT and the intense nature of ERP, which is an essential component, results in a high dropout rate. Brief strategic therapy (BST) offers an alternative with rapid, non-confrontational techniques that change perceptions and reactions to the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Unlike CBT, which relies on patients' conscious efforts, TBS uses strategic interventions to create emotional experiences, thereby reducing resistance and improving adherence. BST's collaborative, low-explanatory approach leverages natural resistance to transform compulsive behaviors into controlled actions, providing a promising avenue for people who struggle with traditional CBT methods. |
| PhD in Psychology, CTS psychologist, trainer and coach (Italy - Malta). Author of "Knowledge through change", " Obsessions, compulsions, manias: understand them and overcome them quickly" and "Le nuove dipendenze". CONFERENCE: “An operational diagnosis for OCD and how online sessions can be ever more effective and efficient” This intervention will emphasize the importance of a thorough operative diagnosis in order to distinguish the different variants of OCD, the underlying perception (fear of contamination, of hurting others, of doing wrong, etc.), emotion (fear or other basic sensation) and the type of compulsions (preventive, proprietary, restorative, magical, logical, with sequences, etc.) An operative diagnosis will help the therapist understand how the problem works, in order to be able to choose the most appropriate intervention, i.e. the strategies/prescriptions but also the type of language, to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship. Additionally, this intervention will also focus on how online therapy can be made more effective and efficient with OCD patients. |

Dan SHORTS
| Clinical psychologist. Expert in Ericksonian psychotherapy and clinical hypnosis. Executive Director of the Milton H. Erickson Institute in Phoenix. He has years of experience in diverse settings such as Domestic Violence Agency, University Counseling Center and in the school sector with the Department of Special Education. CONFERENCE: “The use of anxiety” The principle of utilization is a defining element of Ericksonian therapy that underlies its approach to skills-based psychotherapy. More than a technique, this principle of well-being assumes that people are best served by learning to use their personal attributes in service of a meaningful outcome in the outside world. Conversely, people who struggle with themselves, trying to suppress powerful behavioral or emotional impulses, become weaker and more and more anxious. So, those with an anxious or compulsive mind tend to ruminate on their past mistakes and obsess about the risk of making the wrong choice in the future. From the perspective of evolutionary psychology, a predisposition to anxiety can significantly increase an organism's chances of mastering environmental challenges, if expressed at the right time, with the right intensity, and in the right way. During this seminar, Dr. Short will discuss opportunities to help clients learn how to use both rumination and obsession, resulting in personal empowerment and a sense of competence.

She conducts research on prevention systems (telephone applications, internet and distance programs) and her research is carried out in co-construction with populations of young people and adults. CONFERENCE: “Ruminations: a transdiagnostic process” Kinderman's transdiagnostic model makes it possible to approach psychopathological disorders in a processual manner and facilitates the understanding of disorders going beyond the limits of strictly categorical models. Negative repetitive thoughts (PRN) or ruminations represent a type of process present in different problems such as anxiety disorders, addictions, depressive disorders, etc. We will discuss the particularities of these rumination processes, their evaluation and possible CBT interventions. |

She has contributed to the evolution of the model for more than 15 years through her clinical practice in Italy and Spain. International speaker and official supervisor of brief strategic therapy. Has published :
CONFERENCE: “Adolescence in balance” Adolescence, an age of transition and transformation, is a period of development full of changes and above all challenges to which young people, increasingly insecure and disoriented in their confrontation with life, unfortunately sometimes react in a dysfunctional way. Phobic, obsessive and compulsive, eating, paranoid and borderline disorders, drug addiction or Internet addiction have a strong impact on their lives and that of their families, disabling them. Increasingly heinous phenomena of violence against others and/or against oneself are recorded. Brief strategic therapy has developed specific treatment protocols that have proven effective in these situations, involving, depending on the case, the different social actors involved in the disorder, first and foremost the family. |
Elisa BALBI | Psychologist and psychotherapist, she is a research associate at the Arezzo Strategic Therapy Center. She has worked alongside Professor Giorgio Nardone for almost twenty years training students from around the world in clinical practice, contributing to the evolution of the model through her own practice and being part of the Therapy Center's internal team strategic of Arezzo.

Jean-Pierre POURTOIS | Jean-Pierre Pourtois, professor emeritus at the University of Mons (UMONS), is a recognized specialist in educational sciences. First a teacher in 1961, he devoted his career to the study of the family impact on the educational development of children. His research highlights the importance of the socio-family environment in academic success and advocates a diversified and adaptive educational approach. Author of several influential works, Pourtois advocates for an education that values cognitive, emotional and social experiences, in order to promote complete emancipation of the individual from an early age. CONFERENCE: “School – I love you, neither do I” The conference “School – I love you, me neither” by Jean-Pierre Pourtois explores the impact of the family environment on children's academic success. It reveals that family experiences predispose children to succeed or fail in school, by influencing their ability to develop cognitive, social, and emotional skills. Pourtois also discusses the importance of diversified and interactive pedagogies, both at the family and educational level, to encourage the integral development of students. It calls for an overhaul of teaching practices to respond to current educational challenges and support student development. |

Editorial
SYSTEMIC EMERGENCY
Albert Einstein said that “you cannot solve a problem with the ways of thinking that created it. ". Today, few question our ways of thinking, their functioning and their consequences on people and society.
The number of challenges facing our society seems to increase day by day, and we are beginning to understand that, although treated separately, they are closely linked: environment, health and mental health, mental health and work, ecology, demography, migration, economy , etc… But how can we understand these links to propose effective responses beyond a fragmented vision in different disciplines? We see how contemporary thought has crystallized in a causal rigidity, a source of opposition and blockages at the origin of a world, where very often, we are looking for the cause and the culprit instead of understand the processes of operation and maintenance of problems.
This is the systemic emergency! It is urgent to review our ways of thinking!
In this congress, researchers, academics, psychiatrists, sociologists and business leaders offer reflection on the systemic emergency in the fields of clinics, business and education. How does the systemic approach make it possible to address the processes that govern the individual in his relationship to himself, to others and to the world? How does it allow you to escape from a causal mode of thinking? How can we teach this processual and complex way of thinking? How can we develop the professions of systems engineers, all new professions of the future, highly qualified and essential to a better relational ecology in society?

Introduction |
Patrick BANTMAN | Honorary Hospital Psychiatrist After medical studies in Paris, he moved into hospital psychiatry. He performed all hospital medical functions and was Chief Physician, then hospital practitioner - head of department for 15 years. He was an expert before the courts in Paris. He was trained in systemic theory in 1982 (Mony Elkaim) and set up a family and couples therapy team in Charenton. Numerous publications on working with families of hospitalized or monitored patients. He has participated in numerous conferences on the systemic approach and practice in the psychiatric sector. He is a member of the French Society of Family Therapy and Lact, and many other scientific societies. Since 2015, he has been in private practice and works as a Mediator at the Hospitals of Saint Maurice (94410). Conference: “When working with families in hospitals, there is an urgent need to think systemically!" The evolution of sector psychiatry has made it possible to develop significant relationships with the patient's living environment, in opposition to the asylum tradition where the patient's destiny unfolded in the hospital, often for a very long time. But we have not always been trained to meet the patient in his environment, and sometimes it was with our perceptions from the hospital that we approached the patient in his family. The medical tradition that we were taught made the anatomo-clinical method the reference element for the student and the doctor in the field of medicine and psychiatry. With this in mind, examining the patient is the predominant element in establishing the signs, diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. Systemically oriented work with the family, on the other hand, opens up perspectives for therapeutic alliance, which have gradually developed within the care teams. For the psychiatrist, deepening his knowledge of the family context allows him to identify its potential and limits in order to work towards healing family ties, often a first step towards his patient's recovery. To this end, it is recommended to have a systemic reading of the family-team meeting situation, in addition to the medical reading. |
Serge HEFEZ | Serge Hefez is a Hospital Psychiatrist. He works as a psychoanalyst and family and marriage therapist. Head of the Family Therapy Unit in the child and adolescent psychiatry department at the Pitié Salpétrière hospital in Paris, he is also head of a psychological support service dedicated to issues related to identities sexual and gender attached to the GHU PARIS Psychiatry and Neurosciences His essays on marital and family relationships, “The Dance of the Couple” and “When the Family Gets Tangled,” translated into several languages, were very successful.

Reinventing gender” at Calmann-Lévy in 2021 He participates in numerous national and international conferences and speaks regularly in the written and audiovisual press; he was notably a columnist at France Inter, and a producer at France Culture. Conference: “Parenting and family dynamics" In this pre-recorded conference, Serge Hefez highlights the complexity of issues related to parenting and family dynamics. It addresses the tensions and challenges facing parenthood in the context of public policies and social developments in France. The following points are addressed:

Arthur KELLER | A specialist in systemic risks and collective resilience strategies, Arthur Keller teaches systemics at the CentraleSupélec school, trains elected officials in overall territorial security, advises communities and public agencies on territorial resilience strategies in the face of risks and disintegration. current or future societal challenges. Selected among a dozen experts to form the Prime Minister's Office and interviewed by the National Assembly as part of a parliamentary mission on national resilience, he developed a strategy to prepare collectively to be able to face with dignity the major breaks in continuity that are looming. Conference: “Contributions of systemics in the characterization of the major issues of the 21st century” After an introduction devoted to the dynamics which degrade the habitability of planet Earth, Arthur Keller will present some of the major implications of the application of the systemic approach to the qualification of challenges and the development of strategies adapted to the issues. This will involve deconstructing a certain number of preconceived ideas and deducing approaches, postures and methods of analysis and action that are radically different from the “solutions” usually conveyed. |
Anne GOUYON
| Agricultural engineer, doctor in social sciences, Master in clinical psychology, trained in strategic systemic intervention at Lact. Consultant in sustainable development and regenerative economy for 35 years, specialist in agroecology and agroforestry, administrator of AgroParisTech. Coach and systemic therapist, author of scientific publications and works including Repairing the planet, the positive economy revolution (Lattès 2007). Conference: “Systemic emergency: a strategic approach with the Palo Alto School” After centuries of progress based on a desire to master our environment, humanity is facing an unprecedented systemic crisis. Accelerated climate change, collapse of biodiversity, tensions on natural resources, but also health crisis against a backdrop of diseases of civilizations, crisis of social bond and meaning, and of course repeated economic crises. The model from the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution and the Thirty Glorious Years seems to be running out of steam. This crisis had already been foreseen by Gregory Bateson, founding father of the Systemic School of Palo Alto. He saw in it a “conscious goal” of humanity moving towards progress assimilated to material growth, blind to feedback from nature. Today, there is a great temptation to maintain this system through type 1 changes, which perpetuate the problem instead of solving it. A major reconfiguration of the economic and social system – a type 2 change – nevertheless seems essential. It will be more or less suffered or desired, painful or tolerable depending on the choices to be made now. The strategic systemic approach of the Palo Alto School, widely applied in individual and corporate therapies, provides us with the tools to implement them – a form of systemic therapy on a planetary scale. |
Michel PAILLET
| Serial entrepreneur, founding partner of Cognitive Companions, president of honor of XMP-Consult. Graduate of Ecole Polytechnique (X92), EHESS-HEC-ENS Ulm Master II in economic analysis and policy, doctor of economic sciences (X), Visiting Fellow Harvard, admitted to the thesis in anthropology of contemporary worlds in 2003 at EHESS with Jonathan Friedman, Michel has for 20 years been offering cutting-edge operational solutions aimed at accelerating the execution of (necessarily) complex transformations of large organizations, enabled by cognitive technologies, within the framework of innovative entrepreneurship. . As a citizen, he is deeply involved in catalyzing the awareness of his contemporaries about the existence of emerging epistemological paradigms which allow leaders to envisage profoundly regenerated ways of facing the great challenges of the 21st century. Conference: "From “solutionism” to elucidation through the modeling process of the perceived complex problem situation, a major contribution from Jean-Louis Le Moigne." For those who take the time to step back, it is clear that there is omnipresence of confusion between the surface symptom and the deep root causes of a problematic situation. Everywhere, we observe the reductive temptation of “solutionism”. Jean-Louis Le Moigne not only examined this phenomenon very carefully, but above all he provided the means to resist temptation and powerful tools to allow a collective to co-construct a comprehensive intelligence which little by little gives rise to a finalizing understanding where authentically plausible paths can be explored. During the 15-minute intervention the following will be discussed (very succinctly): 1. Knowledge of knowledge 2. The positivist paradigm and the associated temptation of “solutionism” 3. Discussion of how organizations are facing problem situations such as the climate emergency today 4. The transition from solutionism to elucidation with the constructivist paradigm 5. A succinct presentation of the process of elucidating complex problem situations |

| Clinical psychologist in the field of Behavioral, Cognitive and Emotional Therapies, my interventions focus on health promotion (eg, positive psychology, acceptance and commitment approach, solution-centered systemic approach, development of psychosocial skills, mindfulness).

Currently a design engineer at the DIPHE laboratory at the Université Lumière Lyon 2 to contribute to an online psychosocial skills development project for Public Health France. CONFERENCE: “Flexibility in your relationship with yourself, others and the environment” The paradigm shift of the third wave of cognitive, behavioral and emotional therapies (CCBT) proposes no longer to work on the events themselves, but more on the relationship to them. This will involve making our relationship more flexible with internal events (thoughts, emotions, sensations) and external events (interpersonal relationships, lived experiences) by developing our skills in order to move towards fulfillment. These principles will be illustrated through the example of the CARE Program (Coherence, Attention, Relationship, Commitment) developed by R. Shankland, C. André, I. Kotsou, JP. Durand, M. Paucsik.

She has practiced systemic and strategic therapy for more than 25 years in multiple contexts: private practice, business, child protection sector, teaching.… An experienced trainer, she taught the approach at the IGB then at Cicses . A specialist in interventions under constraint, she has become an expert in the treatment of conflictual relationships experienced by separating parental couples as well as in the disorders presented by children and adolescents. She was appointed legal expert in 2008. Today, it develops networking and project management in its Interdisciplinary Relatio , and specializes in the implementation of consultations promoting collaboration within professional organizations. Bénédicte Servais also transmits her experience through professional practice groups. CONFERENCE: “Different children and adolescents: can stigma reinforce the problem?” We'll dive into a topic that profoundly affects the lives of millions of people around the world: learning disabilities. These invisible challenges that transform daily tasks into insurmountable obstacles can, with the right approach, adequate support and appropriate strategies, be transformed. Transmute these mountains into easily passable hills. However, minimizing these challenges thus facilitating the journey of those affected is not necessarily everyone's business. Although education and health policies and practices have gradually evolved, the way in which learning disabilities are recognized and managed can vary significantly between countries. Considering that learning disorders are persistent and chronic; that they can be managed and mitigated, but that they generally do not disappear completely, is it not urgent and essential to favor collective commitments in a systemic reading, to use intervention and support strategies appropriate, to establish earlier operational diagnoses to go beyond inclusive and benevolent measures which do not automatically produce the expected effects but which, on the contrary, reinforce the bartering of problems experienced by the beneficiaries? Is it not relevant to start from reading and systemic understanding to establish, for the benefit of the affected person, a common diagnosis and collective care? Finally, in many cases, would it not be just as interesting and urgent to use this systemic reading to reconsider the disorder as a characteristic, a particularity just as interesting for the system rather than as a dysfunction? Would it then be a question of ensuring that it is the system which adapts to the singularity of the individual rather than the reverse? |

STOP OR AGAIN
Addictions, harassment, in many situations, men face the difficulty of putting an end to a behavior or consumption. What does this difficulty reflect? Physical and psychological addictions, habits, social pressure, unresolved underlying issues or inability to cope? Is it inherent to man or is it linked to our culture and our environment? What does it reveal about our relationship to ourselves, to others and to the world? How is it approached by psychiatrists or addictologists in a systemic reading?
Program
Discovery Conference - 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The philosopher François Jullien, Jean-Pierre Couteron and Eric Hispard will question this difficulty and the way in which culture influences addiction and how the human species “has compensated for its congenital physical fragility through invention and use. of artifacts and culturally transmitted knowledge", trivializing uses, but also the role that culture can play in our stories of addiction, as Bernard Lahire recalls in his latest book. Should we not, as Nathalie Sarthou-Lajus suggests, open ourselves to other passions, not to reduce them or control them by reason alone, but to tame them, at least in part, to the point of influencing them in a less harmful direction? This conference allows us to understand how the systemic approach contributes to the de-coincidence and the construction of these solutions.
3 workshops from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., these questions will be explored in depth in three workshops conducted in parallel and devoted to the fields of education, business and clinical practice.
The education workshop ( conducted in hybrid) will bring together Grégoire Vitry (moderator), Eric Hispard and Nathalie Duriez. It will be devoted to situations of harassment in the context of education and to the possibilities opened up by a systemic reading of education.
The business workshop (conducted online) will bring together Olivier Brosseau (moderator), Vira Heng and Roberta Prato Previde. This workshop will study the link between addiction and burnout.
The clinical workshop (conducted online) will bring together Véronique Ennes (moderator), Gérard Ostermann and Julien Betbèze. This workshop will address a systemic reading of addictions.

The ACERMA association (Association for Communication, Space and Reintegration of Addictive Patients) aims to enable people suffering from addictions to stabilize, in addition to their care, through creative and cultural activities. This approach aims to enable them to support abstinence, enhance self-esteem, restore neurocognitive capacities, reestablish social bonds, occupy the emptiness of rediscovered time, and once again become an actor in their lives. At the crossroads of care, integration and citizenship, it is aimed at everyone.

When the defender becomes the aggressor. ” Harassment is the subject of numerous prevention campaigns. Attempts at solutions to stop harassment are multiplying: PIKAS method, PHARE program, laws in the education code, etc. But these attempted solutions should not be applied automatically without a rigorous systemic analysis of the situation in order to construct a response adapted to the context. Without this, the “solution” can become the problem. For example, among certain young people registered in cancel culture, awareness of harassment will impact their perception of banal situations and lead them to combat perceived violence without taking into account the context in which the facts took place and the subjective experience of the people. protagonists. If cancel culture has made it possible to make previously ignored victims visible, it becomes tyrannical when those who claim to fight against harassment begin to harass alleged aggressors. We will illustrate this phenomenon of the excesses of cancel culture with the systemic analysis of a clinical case based on the transactional model of Lazarus and Folkman. |

CONFERENCE: “Stop burnout! Prevent and act differently” Often confined to the professional world, burnout is a phenomenon which is often also impacted by the more personal sphere. And for good reason: it is the fact of adopting behaviors in our life that favor the occurrence of burn-out that can lead us to it. By tirelessly repeating these behaviors, we seek to do more and more, to the point of excess, thinking we can overcome all situations, even the most impossible. Embarked in this infernal spiral, we continue, inexorably, until the body orders us, in a peremptory manner, to stop by disconnecting the machine which is racing away. How to identify “risky” signs and behaviors to say stop before burnout occurs? How can we try to adopt more virtuous behaviors to stop this spiral? |

CONFERENCE: “When doing more is doing worse: managerial psychotraps” Even in the organizational and managerial sphere, the traps that each of us digs under our feet, into which we fall and from which we often cannot escape, are not pathological in themselves. What transforms our attitude towards ourselves, others and the world into a dysfunctional psychological trap is its hardening into an action scenario that becomes inevitable, precisely because we tend to reproduce this which worked. So, when a strategy no longer works, instead of abandoning it and replacing it with another, we push harder. Certain dimensions play an important role and, if absent (stopping) or exercised excessively, they risk derailing the leader, the group and the organization itself. Some of the most classic managerial "psycho-traps" are briefly illustrated, notably the leader's scripts: authoritarian, perfectionist, skeptical, intermittent, centralizing and controlling... |

Specialist in addictive behaviors, anorexia and the management of pain and trauma. CONFERENCE: “ Being through addiction, being without addiction, being outside addiction. From control to freedom. ” In this play with three characters, the addicted subject, the therapist, and an object or behavior, we will insist on the therapist's counter-attitudes in the face of traps set for him from all sides, because this is where there is everything that can obstruct an encounter, the premise of a story and a de-coincidence. It is then as an accompaniment to a course that the therapeutic field will be briefly described. |
