Summer-School-2021-group-pictureMy expectations before the event were to learn, improve and network. I can say that I have achieved them thanks to the EPA.
The most important aspect that I will bring with me from this summer school is definitely the people.
During the working groups we had the possibility to test our theoretical knowledge and to put it into practice under the supervision of a distinguished faculty member.

It was an excellent opportunity for all the participants to be more familiar with Psychotherapy.
An extraordinary experience, rarely have I encountered such an atmosphere of support, creativity, learning, both from the faculty and the members.
The simulation was excellent and the chance to discuss the different approaches was very helpful.
