Organizing Committee

For a couple of years the „Core PCE 2018“, Leonore Langner, Susanna Markowitsch und Michaela Zolles with the support of some colleagues, have pursued the idea of the World Conference 2018 in Vienna. We were so happy in 2014 when Vienna has been elected as venue for 2018! Since then a lot of meetings have taken place with interested persons from the person-centered and experiential Austrian world who have been invited to collaborate with the organization of PCE2018.

As members of the final Organization Committee 2018 we would like to shortly introduce ourselves. The Austrian members are working as person-/client-centered psychotherapists and are furthermore holding various positions within the Austrian training associations APG•IPS und OEGWG.
