About the ADPCA Conference 2026, Samothrace (15-19 July, 2026)
The ADPCA (Association for the Development of Person Centered) A Conference is a unique way to experience and learn about the PCA (Person-Centered Approach) and CCT (Client-Centered Therapy). It happens annually and aims to provide opportunity for self and professional development in an atmosphere where participants can freely express themselves. The experiential side of the conference combines daily large community meetings (encounter groups) and regular small groups, both being a central part of the conference. The academic quality is also very present and consists of person-centered practitioners, trainers and students from different cultural and professional backgrounds sharing workshops, presentations, discussion groups and/or practical demonstration sessions. At the conference, we also have ADPCA Business Meetings where matters related to the Association are openly addressed, discussed and decided in a democratic way. Unlike most traditional associations, ADPCA does not have a hierarchical structure; all members have the right to share their views and have an equal say in the decision making process. The annual Business Meetings are where official functional decisions regarding the association are made. All conference attendees are welcome to participate in the business meetings.

About ADPCA
The Association for the Development of the Person-Centered Approach (ADPCA) is an international organization whose members share a vital interest in the work and writings of Carl Rogers, the founder of the person-centered approach to helping relationships, and the practices and ideas stemming from those writings. The ADPCA includes therapists, educators, counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, business managers, and other persons from a variety of walks of life. We have come together out of a common desire to cultivate and nurture the person-centered approach. The Association publishes a journal that is available full text to the public.
