Legacy and Application

Dr. Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy

19th May 1920 (Hungary) – 28th Jan 2007 (Philadelphia)

The power of Contextual Therapy is still valid today, stronger than ever. We welcome all colleagues and students using the Contextual Approach and those inspired by it.

Organic growth is the most valuable improvement.
Make it your own stimulating new idea!
You are free to interpret Boszormenyi-Nagy’s theory.
How do we use it today?

Welcome

Come and let’s work together!

Welcome to the 3rd ICCT Conference!
We hope that you will spend unforgettable days in Budapest at the conference (October 13-15).

The venue of the conference is the Gellért Hotel, which was built about the same time as Nagy’s birth.

I wish to build friendships alongside professional connections that further enhance contextual relationships!
