A Global Gathering For Clinicians Working With Trauma, Attachment, And Parts-Based Practice
Following the success of the 2025 Resource Therapy International Conference in Ubud, Indonesia, we are pleased to announce that our second World Conference will be held in Erlangen, Bavaria, Germany, from 17–19 June 2027.
Hosted by Resource Therapy International, this conference brings together a global community. Where psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers, mental health clinicians, and couples therapists with a shared interest in parts therapy, trauma, attachment, research, dissociation, and therapeutic change can meet.
As President of Resource Therapy International, I am especially pleased to see this next chapter unfold in Europe with our German colleagues, Resourcen Therapy Zentrum Deutschland.
Resource Therapy continues to grow across countries and clinical settings. This conference reflects that emerging international conversation. One grounded not only in theory, but in the realities of therapeutic practice.
The conference page provides details for this event. We see this as an opportunity for clinicians seeking clearer thinking in complex sessions. And practical ways to work with parts, in a framework that remains useful under pressure.
This community gathering is designed for clinicians who value depth, precision, and relevance.
It speaks to those therapists who are increasingly aware that many client presentations involve multiple layers at once. Including trauma, attachment injury, neurodiversity, relational issues, Intergenerational and historical trauma, internal conflict, shifting emotional states, and dissociation.
At this conference, you will see and learn from clinicians who frame parts work as a way of recognising which part is active, understanding its function, and responding with greater clarity and competence. Vital in both short-term and long-term psychotherapy work.
Importantly, prior training in Resource Therapy is not required.
The conference is open to both experienced practitioners and those newly interested in how parts-based therapy may enrich their current way of working. The official page also notes that livestreaming will be available for those unable to travel to Europe, though recordings will not be offered.
There is a particular value and significance in coming together with colleagues who are engaged in similar clinical questions. How do we work with complexity, integrity and compassion? How to recognise the active part, creating space for change within neuroscientific principles? How to bring greater structure, language, and confidence to the therapy room or groups we are working with?
That is very much the spirit of this conference, and we look forward to welcoming an international community to Erlangen in June 2027.
