Özet

Antik hastaneler Asklepion'larda, dönemine göre oldukça ileri kabul edilen tedavi yöntemleri uygulanıyordu. Bergama Asklepion'u tıp tarihinde hastalara ilk psikiyatrik yaklaşımın ve grup psikoterapi uygulamalarının yapıldığı yerlerden biridir. Bergama Asklepion Uluslararası Grup Psikoterapi Kongreleri bu tarihsel birikimden hareketle 1984 yılından bu yana Bergama Asklepion'da (bugünkü Türkiye'de Bergama) düzenlenmektedir. Bu kongrelerin kırksekizincisi 2025 yılında Bergama’da gerçekleştirilecektir. Bu monografi Bergama Asklepion Uluslararası Grup Psikoterapi Kongreleri'nin kısa tarihçesini ve güncel işlevini tanıtmak amacıyla yazılmıştır.
