The European Network on Psychosomatic
Medicine (ENPM), which was founded in 2006 as formal scientific
initiative after the Berlin ECPR meeting, during the last ECPR/EACLPP
meeting in Innsbruck (June 2010), decided to evolve into
an “European Federation of Psychosomatic Medicine”. G.Schüssler
(Austria) was appointed president, M. Beresnavaite (Lithuania)
and Ramiro Verissimo (Portugal) as Vice-presidents and Bohdan
Wasilewski (Poland) as Treasurer.
ENPM: merge between
ECPR and EACLPP
In a meeting in Nuremberg (November 2010)
with Albert Leentjes (former president of EACLPP) and Wolfgang
Söllner (present president of EACLPP), it was put forward the
possibility to joint the 57 year old history of ECPR meetings
with the EACLPP under common goals. Later on, during the meeting
held in Warszawa (January 2011) -- having in mind the EFPM as an
umbrella organization for all European scientists, clinicians
and societies interested Psychosomatic Medicine -- it was
further debated this possible merge with EACLPP; which received
extensive support.
The debate is open and we expect you all
to forward (rave@netcabo.pt)
all your thoughts and contributions on this matter during the
next 6 months. After which we must come to a conclusion to be
worked out in detail during the Munich meeting (March 2012), so
as it can be brought to a final conclusion at the Arhus
(Denmark) meeting to be held in June 2012.
