ALETEIA International, European School of Cognitive Therapy was founded in Enna in 1990 by its present director Tullio Scrimali.
Until now the School hosted many important Authors of cognitive therapy such as Aaron T. Beck, Arthur Freeman, Michael Mahoney, Carlo Perris, Jeffrey Young, Christine Padesky, Frank Dattilio, Paul Salkovskis, David Clark, Christofer Fairburn, Robert Liberman, Ian Fallon and many others.
Among international events: the Congress of International Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy in 2000 which has been considered one of the most successful international meetings in the field of CBT with the participation of the speakers and audience coming from five continents. The School organizes also two international events every year: Volcanic Mind in summer and Mind in the Clouds in winter.
In our School some psychiatrists and psychologists attended at courses from many countries:
The School is approved by the Italian Ministry of University and Research and gives certificates of specialization in cognitive psychotherapy recognized by Italian and European law.
Scientific areas remaining of our special interest are those connected with the epistemology of the complexity, the logic of dynamic and non linear systems, schizophrenia, eating disorders, neuroscience and cognitive psychophysiology.
