WHEN

28 – 30 May 2026

The 10th biennial ISST INSPIRE 2026 Conference will bring together hundreds of innovators, researchers, and dedicated professionals from around the world — exceptional thinkers, practitioners, and scientists shaping the next chapter of psychotherapy — for three days of inspired dialogue, meaningful networking, and valuable new insights.

This time, under the theme “Innovating Connections: Bridging Mind, Body, and Culture through Schema Therapy,” we’ll explore how schema therapy can advance by integrating diverse cultural perspectives, somatic approaches, and the latest research in the field.

Join us in Thessaloniki, Greece, to discover how strengthening these essential connections can enrich your schematherapeutic work — supporting both your patients’ healing journeys and your own growth as a therapist. Together, we’ll dive into innovative interventions, current studies, cross-cultural understandings, and creative ways to bridge mind, body, and culture in our practices.

Ready to be inspired? Come shape the future of schema therapy — in practice and through research — with us at INSPIRE 2026.
