On Thursday 14/12/2017, Gestalt Foundation’s open lecture took place at the IANOS Culture Chain, entitled «Panic attacks».

The coordinators, George Diplas and Thalia Logothetis, began with the observation that nowadays more and more people are turning to psychotherapy to deal with panic attacks.

What is the chief complain; Finding ways and techniques for managing and, ultimately, eliminating crises as quickly as possible to return people to their everyday lives.

What do the crisis means for a person's life? On the basis of this crucial question, they referred to their meaning in relation to their identity, changes in their lives, their systems of support, and their intimate relationships.

The lecture was concluded by pointing out to the coordinators that because the phenomenon of panic is a function of the organization and the environment, the current conditions of generalized social, economic and cultural crisis make us wonder: is it a "panic crisis or ... panic of the crisis?"

A highly interesting lecture for the audience that the reflection of the round of the subject led to a fruitful dialogue. The moderators responded warmly to the number of questions and responded with clarity and clarity.
