Abstract

Inspired by the video made and presented at their Graduation Day by the 4th year of 2023 trainees of the Institute of Systemic Thinking and Psychotherapy (Thessaloniki), three members of the Institute from the position of "teaching" and "supervising" discuss the concept of Irreverence together with other ideas of Gianfranco Cecchin.

It is a critical, maybe even "irreverent" dialogue, the video of which was introduced as the main stimulus for the Workshop of the same name at the EFTA Tic Conference (Athens, 2023).
