The title of this Congress was "Psychotherapy and the Human Sciences", and the Proceedings appeared in Italian as Volume no. 30 of the book series "Library of Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology" of Feltrinelli publisher. These Proceedings were an abridged edition of all papers and discussions of the 8th Congress of the International Federation for Psychotherapy (IFP), while the official Proceedings, published by the IFP and edited by Heinrich Karl Fierz e Theodor Spoerri (Basel: Karger, 1972) did not include some papers and all the discussions.
