De EAIP of European Association for Integrative Psychotherapy heeft een boodschap mbt de invasie van Oekraïne.
Als actief lid van de EAIP vinden wij het belangrijk deze met jullie te delen.

“Dear Colleagues, dear friends,

This letter is a message to all our EAIP Members about our response to the invasion of Ukraine.

It is a statement to the world, to all governments, to all conflicting parties.

We call for an immediate end to all acts of war. We believe that humanity and human rights are the essence of life and that human lives are the most important—the most important of all and that war is never the answer to conflict. It leads to the destruction of infrastructure and unprecedented human suffering.

We express our solidarity with the Ukrainian and all Russian people who are devastated and anguished by the actions of their government in this needless violence.

We also believe that we, as psychotherapists have a responsibility to remind all people that peaceful negotiation, dialogue and debate in conflict resolution should always be possible.

As Psychotherapists, we are sending a message to remind people of the importance of resolving difficulties thoughtfully with mutual respect. And that it is much better to do it immediately than after the deaths of many innocent people, damage and destruction. Let us be responsible and be real humans to real humans.

We call on governments to stop this conflict as soon as possible, respecting your humanity, the humanity of other people and human rights.

Bruno Van den Bosch

President of the European Association for Integrative Psychotherapy”
