During the realization of Ist. World Congress for Existential Therapy held in London in May 2015, we decided to make world congresses every four years, creating at the same time the World Confederation of Existential Psychotherapy, whose acronym is WCET. At that time Buenos Aires was chosen to host the Second Congress and ALPE (Latin American Association of Existential Psychotherapy) as organizer.

We expect to give continuity to the way undertaken in that moment, giving place to all the voices of the different orientations that the existential therapy has at present.

We will be accompanied by prestigious therapists of the whole world, which will facilitate the meeting, the exchange, the dialog and the debate on the most varied topics of interest for the existential therapists.
