The WAPD 2024 will focus on conflicts among various societal groups, reflecting on resolution processes without friend-or-foe narratives. Scientists, therapists, and psychiatric practitioners must find ways to address conflicts and combat dehumanization.
The congress will also tackle global issues like climate change, wars, pandemics, digitization's isolation, famines, migration, and wealth disparities. Taking shared responsibility means seeking innovative solutions for a better world. This interdisciplinary approach involving medicine, psychology, psychiatry, sociology, philosophy, and more aims to promote research integration and discourse on these topics.
