Getting really serious (and excited) about research

During the inaugural joint conference of the European Association of Gestalt Therapy (EAGT) and the Association for the Advancement of Gestalt Therapy (AAGT) held at Taormina, Sicily in September 2016, I found myself sitting at a round table overlooking the Mediterranean enjoying delicious Sicilian food and engaged in intense conversation. Those around the table included Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb (Italy), Les Greenberg (Canada), Phil Brownell (USA), Jan Roubal (Czech republic), Mark Reck (USA), Gianni Francesetti (Italy), Vincent Beja (France), IlliaMstibovskyi (Russia), Pablo Herrera Salinas (Chile) and Joe Melnick (USA).
