[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]It is with great honor that we welcome you to this conference, dedicated to a reflection as urgent as it is necessary: the impact of contemporary turbulence on our capacity to mentalize, to care, and to conceptualize psychotherapeutic care itself.<\/p>\n

In a world shaken by escalating geopolitical tensions, recurrent health crises, and growing social fragmentation, we find ourselves – as clinicians, citizens, and at times as patients – confronted by a pervasive atmosphere of uncertainty. This uncertainty unsettles our internal and relational anchors, weakens intersubjective connections, and places our sense of safety under considerable strain. These pressures bear not only upon individual and collective mental health, but also upon the very fabric of therapeutic work: its perceived value, its effectiveness, and its capacity to generate meaning.
\nAgainst this backdrop, the concept of mentalization – the ability to make sense of one\u2019s own and others\u2019 mental states – emerges as more central than ever. It provides both a clinical and humanistic lens through which we may understand regression, disconnection, and rupture, while also illuminating pathways for repair and recovery. Central to this process is the restoration of epistemic trust: the capacity to accept information from others as trustworthy, personally relevant, and meaningful. Without such trust, the therapeutic endeavour falters.<\/p>\n

This conference is also, fundamentally, about opportunity – the opportunity to rethink our models, to enrich the therapeutic dialogue, and to craft new strategies of intervention that attempt to address the collective traumas and existential challenges of our time. By bringing together researchers, clinicians, and thinkers from diverse backgrounds, we aim to foster a space where complexity is not an impediment, but a generative force.<\/p>\n

We hope that these days of exchange and reflection will nourish your practice, expand your perspectives, and reinforce – despite the turbulence – our shared commitment to a thriving, ethical, and profoundly human clinical approach.<\/p>\n

With deep appreciation for your presence and your engagement,<\/p>\n

\nntalizing: Challenges and Opportunities\u201d<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]C\u2019est avec un grand honneur que nous vous accueillons \u00e0 cette conf\u00e9rence, plac\u00e9e sous le signe d\u2019une r\u00e9flexion urgente et n\u00e9cessaire : celle des effets des turbulences contemporaines sur notre capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 mentaliser, \u00e0 prendre soin, et \u00e0 penser le soin psychoth\u00e9rapeutique.<\/p>\n

Dans un monde secou\u00e9 par des instabilit\u00e9s g\u00e9opolitiques croissantes, des crises sanitaires successives, et une fragmentation sociale pr\u00e9occupante, nous sommes tous t\u00e9moins \u2014 et parfois patients \u2014 d\u2019un climat d\u2019incertitude qui \u00e9branle nos rep\u00e8res, fragilise les liens intersubjectifs, et met \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9preuve notre sentiment de s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Ces contextes de tension affectent non seulement la sant\u00e9 mentale individuelle et collective, mais aussi la relation
\nde soin elle-m\u00eame : sa valeur per\u00e7ue, sa qualit\u00e9, et sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 produire du sens. Face \u00e0 ces d\u00e9fis, la notion de mentalisation \u2014 cette capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 comprendre ses propres \u00e9tats mentaux et ceux des autres \u2014 devient plus que jamais centrale. Elle nous offre un prisme \u00e0 la fois clinique et humaniste pour comprendre les r\u00e9gressions, les ruptures, mais aussi les possibilit\u00e9s de reconstruction. Cette reconstruction repose notamment sur la restauration de la confiance \u00e9pist\u00e9mique, cette capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 croire que ce que l\u2019autre nous
\ntransmet \u2014 dans le cadre th\u00e9rapeutique ou social \u2014 est digne de confiance, pertinent et porteur de sens. Sans une telle confiance, l\u2019entreprise th\u00e9rapeutique chancelle.<\/p>\n

Cette conf\u00e9rence se veut aussi r\u00e9solument tourn\u00e9e vers les opportunit\u00e9s : celle de repenser nos mod\u00e8les, d\u2019enrichir la communication th\u00e9rapeutique, d\u2019explorer de nouvelles strat\u00e9gies d\u2019intervention qui tiennent compte des traumatismes collectifs et des d\u00e9fis de notre temps. En rassemblant chercheurs, cliniciens et penseurs de divers horizons, nous voulons faire \u00e9merger des espaces de dialogue o\u00f9 la complexit\u00e9 ne sera pas un obstacle,
\nmais une ressource.<\/p>\n

Nous esp\u00e9rons que ces journ\u00e9es de r\u00e9flexion et de partage sauront nourrir votre pratique, \u00e9largir vos perspectives et renforcer, malgr\u00e9 les turbulences, notre engagement commun envers une clinique vivante, \u00e9thique et r\u00e9solument humaine.<\/p>\n

Avec toute notre reconnaissance pour votre participation et votre engagement,<\/p>\n
