RELATES
The European and Latin American Network of Systemic Schools was founded in Guadalajara (Mexico) in July 2005, with the aim of disseminating Systemic Family Therapy throughout the Spanish-speaking world.
Promoted by the Family Therapy Schools of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau in Barcelona and the Basque-Navarre School of Family Therapy in Bilbao, sponsoring members of the Network, it brings together Systemic Training Centers from both sides of the Atlantic.
The DIPHE (Développement, Individu, Processus, Handicap, Éducation) research unit arose from the desire of eight teacher-researchers in the Psychology of Development, Education and Vulnerability (PsyDÉV) department to unite around a common research project. The laboratory was officially created in November 2017, under the supervision of Université Lyon 2. The team brings together researchers developing research whose work aims to better understand the psychological issues, needs, resources and adaptation processes put in place by developing subjects confronted with life experiences that make them fragile. Research focuses mainly on populations at risk of significant vulnerability, either due to personal health-related factors (disability, developmental disorders, aging, illness, etc.), or due to life-course, cultural, social and/or family characteristics (family characteristics, etc.). In 2024, the laboratory will comprise 9 permanent teaching/research members, 12 associate members and a manager.
