The co-organisers of the professional event, Sladjana Ivezic and Ivan Urlic, under the guideline: ''Toward Comprehensive Psychotherapy of Psychoses'' this year put the usual focus on ''aggression and psychosis''.
The main topic was elaborated by presenters that were not only from Croatia, but from Slovenia, Italy, UK, Serbia, Norway, Denmark , Greece, Montenegro, and Singapore, too. Among many very interesting presentations the one of Lyn Chua addressing transcultural characteristicts, and the presentation of the National Danish Schizophrenia Project. by B.
