In this keynote presentation, Kyriaki Polychroni will share aspects of her personal and professional development as a systemic group, couple and family therapist. She will refer to elements which she views as essential to developing an identity as a psychotherapist: exploration of personal meaning, sociocultural context, therapy of the therapist, and life-cycle changes that interweave and co-create an open evolving process.

Throughout the presentation, Ms Polychroni will illustrate this process by focusing on the couple relationship as a key feature in the development of her identity as a psychotherapist.
