Welcome to Lausanne!

Ladies and Gentlemen
Dear colleagues

In 1956 Christian Müller and Gaetano Benedetti founded the ISPS movement in Lausanne, opening wide the field of psychotherapeutic approaches to psychosis. 70 years later, we hope to keep up the pioneering attitude and welcome professionals, expert by experience and family members to this congress in Switzerland.

SAVE THE DATE AND CELEBRATE WITH US THE 70 YEARS OF THE ISPS

Today, we are still in need of political strength to implement psychosocial values for treating psychoses in all countries in the world. And we want to support pioneers of today who are building teams where experts by experience and family members work together with mental health professionals both in clinical settings and research projects.

We look forward to welcoming you to the ISPS International Congress 2026 in Lausanne next year.

Kind regards on behalf of the organizing committee,
The Co-Congress Chairs
