Precedents of ALPE
For more than 30 years, in different countries of Latin America, we have been working on the existential perspective both in the field of psychology and in the field of therapy.
At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, Latin American meetings of existential therapists were organized in Colombia.
In 2003, during the development of the III International Congress of Existential Humanistic Psychology and Phenomenological Psychiatry held in Colombia, the idea of meeting in some kind of organization for the purpose of exchanging points of view began to take shape.
At that time, Argentina held the 1st Encounter of Existential Humanist Therapies.Simultaneously, the Mexican group that met since 2002, invited representatives of other countries to teach courses, workshops or seminars.
In 2007 and 2008, the 1st and 2nd Latin American Conferences of Existential Psychotherapy were held in Colombia and Mexico, respectively.
In 2009, the distance course was inaugurated: "Existential Psychology. Its application to therapy ", with professors from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico.
In 2010, Argentina held the 3rd Latin American Congress of Existential Psychotherapy, with the participation of Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela and Uruguay. In this meeting, the Latin American Journal of Existential Psychology is launched: A comprehensive approach to being; and the ALPE is created: Latin American Association of Existential Psychotherapy.
