Next International Congress SIPE-AT,
13 - 15 september 2012
"Amours, désamours..."

After Lisbon, Athens, Liège, Kyoto…, Toulouse, capital of Occitania, the crossroads between cultures between two seas and on Europe’s north south route, is proud to organise the 20th SIPE-AT World Congress (International Psychopathology of Expression & Art-Therapy Society) on 13, 14 and 15 September 2012 at the Faculty of Medicine Toulouse Rangueil (University of Toulouse 3).
Every three years, we bring together clinicians, researchers, trainers, specialists, enlightened enthusiasts and laymen from the world of the arts, medicine, clinical psychopathology and art therapies based on a cross-disciplinary subject.
In the present declaration: “Amours, désamours…”, you can hear the effect of the far echo of Courtly Love which in Toulouse in the 12th and 13th centuries exerted its influence. Hear the joy of love and also its misfortunes, because the arts, the life of an artist like the clinic of the soul’s sufferings, teach us the plural of love and misfortunes, their ungovernable variations and their suspense; the dynamics of impulses, identifications, projections and work symbolising to evoke a truth by painful or joyful creation; the stakes of choosing to belong to schools or movements of thought which invent and pass on art therapies.
Other items may also lead you to either submit a paper or come and share the experience of those who, through their structured expression, show that it is still possible to cross love and misfortunes.
To register for the congress (1 lunch included):
- SIPE member = 100 euros ,
- student, intern, DES on proof = 60 euros ,
- other participants = 150 euros,

The scientific committee will take all submissions into consideration; some may be accepted in the form of papers displayed as “posters”. Once they have been accepted, the programme of papers will be conditioned by registration for the congress.

REVIEW
- Bourgogne (France), 7 March - 10 April 2011: Itineraires Singuliers Festival: « L’art et l’ex-pression dans la lutte contre l’exclusion ».
REPORT. “Art therapy in Burgundy: “Singular Itineraries” is an association from Dijon founded in 2000. Through art, it aims to integrate the world of hospitals and handicaps in the world of culture as well as in civil and collective life.
It regularly proposes events going from medical information on mental pathology to artistic residences in care establishments, places which are often stigmatised and excluded from cultural life. It links the inside with the outside, presenting patients’ productions outside the hospital (Intim’errance collection) by creating artistic events in hospital structures.
With the 7th edition of its festival on the subject of “passage” from 7 March to 10 April 2011, it brought together 10 737 spectators in 15 towns of Burgundy for 26 performances and 21 exhibitions. This 2 day festival recognised as part of continuous training was also punctuated with meetings with specialists in the form of debates and conferences.
The Biennial of Singular Art will take place in March and April 2012. It aims to be a place for meeting, exchanging, researching and debating the relationship between art and psychiatry, raw art and singular art. From October 2011 events will enable us to enter this world at a crossroads, namely with a visit to the Abbey of Auberive, the ideal palace for postman Cheval and the museum of popular art in Laduz.
All the details about the festival, the biennial of singular art and the Intim’errance collection are available on the association’s website: www.itinerairessinguliers.com.”

“With an exceptional history and beautiful setting at the Hôtel-Dieu, its chapel, Columns room and adjacent rooms, Dr. François Granier presented the creations of around 48 contributors who accepted associating a personal text with this event. A 145 page booklet brings together these texts as well as the labels of works and explains how the “NATURES” subject was born.
For an author there is no better tribute than the numerous visitors who are regulars at this annual meeting and who also expose themselves to the “fluctuation between emotions and (ir)rational logics”. The quality of the facilities, guided tours and the prestige of the site are also forms of recognition.” (Pr JP Martineau)

- Lille, (France). 7 December, SIPE will take part in the forum of associations in the frame of the 3rd Psychiatric French Congress (7-10 December 2011).
Abstract: Lithium, like other mood stabilizers, has been subject to criticism linked to dulling creativity and undermining associative processes at the source of creation.
2) « Productions de schizophrènes créatifs soumis à des chimiothérapies neuroleptiques au long cours » (Guy Roux).
Abstract: Amongst the causes invoked in environments at the origin of the rarefaction of plastic works by psychiatric patients, neuroleptic chemo-therapy and more widely psychotropic drugs have been accused of drying up all creativity. This criti-cism risks being invalidated by the existence of sponaneous plastic productions, developed over a twen-ty year period, in parallel to taking neuroleptic drugs.
3) « Des toxiques à pleines dents ! Inhibitions et expressions et du soi dentaire de patients toxicomanes » (Jean-Luc Sudres, Flora Entajan, Marie Créquy, Gilles Brandibas and Laurent Schmitt).
Abstract: Although many psychotropic, toxic and substitute drugs lead to a reduction in the secretion of saliva and dental alterations which are often neglected, it appears clinically relevant to take into account the expression of dental care as part of overall quality of life.
