- Short Description:
- In this thought-provoking dialogue, two master clinicians explore why antidepressants alone cannot solve depression and why human connection remains central to healing. Drawing from psychotherapy, hypnosis, and Gestalt traditions, they examine depression as a social—not biological—condition shaped by isolation, loss, and disconnection. The conversation highlights how curiosity, enchantment, and shared meaning within relationships and groups can restore vitality, resilience, and purpose in modern clinical practice.

- This session explores the intersection of therapy and social issues, examining how psychotherapy contributes to shifting moral perspectives, cultural engagement, and public health. Panelists highlight themes such as moral relativity versus absolutism, the therapist’s role in addressing systemic injustices, and the risks of reducing depression to biology alone.

- Short Description:
- Cloe Madanes highlights the value of prioritizing relationships over individual pathology in family therapy. She critiques the influence of Big Pharma and managed care, warning against overmedication and noting that antidepressants show only a 10% improvement over placebos. Case examples include a suicidal man who regained joy and a young woman with epilepsy who improved through family therapy. Dr. Thomas Szasz adds a libertarian perspective, arguing that mental illness can become a self-fulfilling prophecy shaped by economic and political forces. Moderated by Bernhard Trenkle, Dipl. Psych.
