The European Room for Listening

The European Room for Listening (ERL)

The European Room for Listening (ERL) project aims to offer support and professional listening at a time of war and multiple existential crises. The ERL is hosted by an international group of EAP psychotherapists from different countries.

Background, Idea, and Purpose

There is a war going on in Ukraine. It affects Ukraine, but it also affects neighboring countries that have received many refugees, as well as everyone in Europe. Psychotherapists in Ukraine and in neighboring countries need the attention and ears of their European colleagues. They need to share what they experience in being psychotherapists during this time of war and to endure the situation in their everyday lives. They need to share their doubts, their anger, and their fears with European colleagues who are willing to listen, so that their stories can be shared and we can help each other through this terrible situation.

Report from the EAP Symposium “Ethics in Psychotherapy” Sunday: 25-Feb-2018, in SFU Vienna The Ethical Guidelines Committee initiated this Symposium once again to bring the ethical questions in psychotherapy more into the light.
