The International Family Therapy Association Congress is a scientific event focuses on interactional methodologies for working with families and how those changes impact the families with which therapists work. The 2025 Congress, like all IFTA Congresses, will also feature many approaches to a variety of problems and ways of coping with them. The congress aims to help heal hurting couples and families in various cultures.

Key dates

We are still accepting proposals to present at the 2025 Congress. We have a limited amount of spots for both 45 and 20 minute presentations open at this time. Presentations on Family Therapy Founders or Teaching Systemic Therapy are of high interest to our reviewers, but you can submit on any topic. We do still have space for poster presentations as well.

The International Family Therapy Association was an outgrowth of the East-West Bridging Congress conducted in Prague in 1987. Since that time, IFTA’s goal has been the same: Advancing family therapy worldwide by promoting research, education, and sound practice while promoting international cooperation and the exchange of knowledge and ideas that support the health and well-being of families and persons around the world.
