A Word from the President
The Vice-President of EFTA and President of CIM, both roles held by the same person, offers you her best wishes for 2026 and these few words to mark the beginning of this new term.
At CIM, continuity has prevailed!
It is with an open mind to new ideas and the intersection of sciences that the CIM board and I continue the missions of CIM and EFTA in general. With Maurizio Frisina (Belgium) as Treasurer, Federico Ferrari (Italy) as Secretary, Iva Ursini (Italy), Marie-Jeanne Schon (Luxembourg), and Myriam Cassen (France), who succeeds Viola Sallay (Hungary) as Vice-President, we continue to pool our skills, linked by the wonderful and rich experience we shared during the previous term.
What’s new?
As Vice-President of EFTA, I hope my contribution will add value to the demanding role of the presidency of our ambitious association, which continues to be held by Umberta Telfener.
As President of CIM, I continue to open up as widely as possible to systemic thinking – our world needs it – which is why CIM welcomes applications from those who, although trained, do not practice as family therapists but as systemic practitioners, as the fields of application are very broad.
Our new website is online, and we are currently planning the new CIM congress for 2027; its theme and main outlines are already defined, as is its possible location. But it’s still a surprise!
We look forward to seeing you all soon!
