ABOUT DIALOGUES
The time has come! The Focusing Oriented Therapy Association (FOTA) is proud to announce the launching of a journal, Dialogues, devoted to the theory, practice, values, and worldwide community of Focusing Oriented Therapy. FOT has a decade long lineage; yet until now it has not had its own journal dedicated to therapists and related helping professionals worldwide.
The mission of FOTA [Dialogues] is global. All around the world, in many languages and under extraordinarily varied conditions, therapists practice Focusing to support their clients and peers and to care for themselves.
Focusing Oriented Therapy is not a mere tool or modality. Its foundation is the principle of interaction, with each other and with our environments. Dialogues will facilitate bringing together worldwide, disparate practices of Focusing and offer the support and community we need to continue in our work.

We are also looking to begin a wide-ranging discussion of how the next one hundred years of Focusing may unfold. New social orders and personal practices are emerging as waves of technological revolutions sweep over us. The rise of authoritarian movements and the massive increase in violent state conflict point to deep fault lines in our world. As Focusing Oriented Therapists, we are always evolving and responding to situation with openness and with trust in the inherent ability of a person to reach deep within themselves for resources they were only vaguely aware of having.
We believe that our growing FOTA community and the journal that facilitates it, reflect a deep resourcefulness and resilience that we’ve only begun to recognize. Our hope is that with Dialogues we can together take these steps towards greater awareness and collaboration.
We hope we have inspired you to become readers as well as contributors to this journal. We encourage you to submit relevant writings, videos and art work that have been meaningful to you.
