Concerning the creation of ALAPCCO (Federaci\u00f3n Latinoamericana de Psicoterapias Cognitivas y Conductuales), the first antecedent was its participation in 1995 in the World Conference of Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies\/WCBCT Copenhagen. In this event, we can highlight two central aspects for the creation of ALAPCCO: the union of both behavioral and cognitive approaches in the same conference; and the need to disseminate these therapies in Latin America. Argentinians such as H\u00e9ctor Fern\u00e1ndez-\u00c1lvarez, Claudia Bregman and Sara Baringolz, and Brazilians such as Cristiano Nabuco de Abreu and Paulo Knapp, were present in that Conference. In that context, H\u00e9ctor Fern\u00e1ndez-\u00c1lvarez had the idea of creating a regional space that might transcend national borders.<\/p>\n<h3>The first Task Group and the birth of ALAPCO: 1996-1999<\/h3>\n<p>In November 1, 1996, the Asociaci\u00f3n Argentina de Terapia Cognitiva (AATC) called colleagues from Brazil (Bernard Rang\u00e9, Paulo Knapp and Cristiano Nabuco de Abreu), Chile (Augusto Zagmutt and Roberto Opazo) and Uruguay (Raquel Zamora) to participate in the First Latin American Symposium in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with the goal of congregating the cognitive therapists of this region and to foster creation of an institution for dissemination, development, clinical and theoretical exchange. This is considered ALAPCO\u00b4s foundational event and in time it was known as the First Latin American Conference of Cognitive Therapies (I CLAPCO) of what would eventually become, a few years later, the Asociaci\u00f3n Latinoamericana de Psicoterapias Cognitivas (ALAPCO).<\/p>\n<p>In 1998, the II Latin American Conference of Cognitive Therapies (II CLAPCO) and First Brazilian Conference of Cognitive Therapies was held, congregating numerous participants from Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay. The event was held in collaboration with the Associa\u00e7\u00e3o Brasileira de Terapias Cognitivas (ABTC), that later became known as the Sociedade Brasileira de Terapias Cognitivas (SBTC), and is called Federa\u00e7\u00e3o Brasileria de Terapias Cognitivas (FBTC) these days.<\/p>\n<p>ALAPCO, with its institutional log but without bylaws so far, met one of its foundational goals, that is congregating clinicians and fostering dissemination. In this event, a task group was created for the writing of bylaws and also to support the organization of the next Conference. This group was formed by those who are considered today the founding members: H\u00e9ctor Fern\u00e1ndez-\u00c1lvarez and Claudia Bregman, for Argentina; Bernard Rang\u00e9 and Paulo Knapp, for Brazil; Augusto Zagmutt, for Chile; and Raquel Zamora and Ileana Caputto for Uruguay. After holding several meetings and exchanging electronic correspondence, bylaws were signed in 1999, thus formalizing the foundation of ALAPCO. The first Board of Directors was created and Uruguay was chosen as the host for the next Conference, in the context of the VI Latini Dies in R\u00edo de Janeiro, Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, ALAPCO has remained faithful to its initial mission and goals \u201cdissemination, education and scientific research related to cognitive and behavioral therapies in Latin America\u201d, to which the following specific goals were added:<\/p>\n<p>A. To represent the member association before other national and\/or international organizations, public or private, disseminating its work and defending their interests;<\/p>\n<p>B. To promote, support and organize events and dissemination materials, training and exchanges (such as Conferences, workshops, seminars, etc.) of knowledge related to behavioral and cognitive therapies in Latin America;<\/p>\n<p>C. To promote and support scientific research in the field of cognitive and behavioral therapies;<\/p>\n<p>D. To provide scientific counseling to members and affiliate groups, when requested;<\/p>\n<p>E. To promote and support community activities based on cognitive and behavioral therapies that may promote mental health in Latin America.<\/p>\n<p>A proof of constancy and perseverance may be found in the upcoming descripting of the Conferences held until these days, so as the different Board of Directors and the important changes, in chronological order.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\">The first Board of Directors: 1999-2000<\/a><\/p>\n<p>President: Raquel Zamora (Uruguay)<\/p>\n<p>Vicepresident: Augusto Zagmutt (Chile)<\/p>\n<p>First secretary: Claudia Bregman (Argentina)<\/p>\n<p>Second secretary: Paulo Knapp (Brazil)<\/p>\n<p>Treasurer: Jos\u00e9 Lima (Uruguay)<\/p>\n<p>Members: Mateo Ferrer (Chile) \u2013 Cristiano Nabuco de Abreu (Brazil) \u2013 Lydia Tineo (Argentina)<\/p>\n<p>Once the association is formalized, the III Latin American Conference of Cognitive Therapies (III CLAPCO) is held in 2000 in Montevideo, Uruguay. That Conference was organized in collaboration with the Sociedad Uruguaya de An\u00e1lisis y Modificaci\u00f3n de la Conducta (SUAMOC), and was chaired by Raquel Zamora.<\/p>\n<p>In the Conference, and in agreement with the bylaws, a General Assembly was held in which the steering committee informed about the work conducted in the period and a new Board of Directors was elected. Santiago\/Chile was selected to host the following Conference. In that meeting Colombia was incorporated as ALAPCO member.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\">The second Board of Directors: 2000 \u2013 2002<\/a><\/p>\n<p>President: Augusto Zagmutt (Chile)<\/p>\n<p>Vicepresident: Bernard Rang\u00e9 (Brasil)<\/p>\n<p>First secretary: Elyzabeth de Le\u00f3n (Chile)<\/p>\n<p>Second secretary: Lydia Tineo (Argentina)<\/p>\n<p>Treasurer: Mateo Ferrer (Chile)<\/p>\n<p>Past President: Raquel Zamora (Uruguay)<\/p>\n<p>Members: Ileana Caputto (Uruguay) \u2013 Paulo Knapp (Brazil) \u2013 Claudia Bregman (Argentina)<\/p>\n<p>In 2002, the IV Latin American Conference of Cognitive Psychotherapies (IV CLAPCO) was held in Santiago\/Chile. Thus, one of the goals of the association was met, that is promoting the organization of the Asociaci\u00f3n Chilena de Psicoterapias Cognitivas (APSICO), gathering cognitive therapists of Chile. This Conference was organized in collaboration with APSICO and chaired by Augusto Zagmutt. Porto Alegre\/Brazil was chosen as the next city to host the ALAPCO Conference.

In its General Assembly, Uruguay was chosen to host the following Conference. Also, Peru, Paraguay and Panama were incorporated to ALAPCO.<\/p>\n<p>A decision was made to continue participating in the international conferences of cognitive therapies. In 2007, during the World Conference for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies in Barcelona, attended by delegates from all the countries members of ALAPCO, a meeting was held with Arthur Freeman with the aim of present ALAPCO and to be recognized by the International Association of Cognitive Psychotherapies (IACP) and by the board responsible for organizing the World Conferences. Arthur Freeman proposed that ALAPCO organized an international conference. At the end of this assembly, the fifth Board of Directors is elected.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\">The fifth Board of Directors: 2006- 2008<\/a><\/p>\n<p>President: Ileana Caputto (Uruguay)<\/p>\n<p>Vicepresident: Mar\u00eda Clara Rodr\u00edguez (Colombia)<\/p>\n<p>First secretary: Elizabeth Le\u00f3n (Chile)<\/p>\n<p>Second secretary: Andr\u00e9s S\u00e1nchez (Argentina)<\/p>\n<p>Treasurer: Reyna Lucadame (Uruguay)<\/p>\n<p>Past president: Hector Fern\u00e1ndez \u00c1lvarez (Argentina)<\/p>\n<p>Members: Margareth da Silva Oliveira (Brasil) \u2013 Augusto Zagmutt (Chile) \u2013 Claudia Bregman (Argentina)<\/p>\n<p>The VII Latin American Conference of Cognitive Psychotherapies (VII CLAPCO) was held in Montevideo\/Uruguay.

In 2015 the X Latin American Conference of Cognitive Psychotherapies (X CLAPCO) was held in the city of Santiago, in collaboration with APSICO and chaired by Juan Ya\u00f1es. Being mindful of the new times and processes of change in the theoretical, socioprofessional and political framework, it was decided that ALAPCO should become a federation and its formal name be changed to Federaci\u00f3n Latinoamericana de Psicoterapias Cognitivas y Conductuales, changing the name ALAPCO into the trademark ALAPCCO. This process was formalized on the following conference. It was also decided to hold conferences every three years. The assembly incorporated Paraguay as a member. Argentina was chosen to host the following conference, and a new Board of Directors was elected.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\">The ninth Board of Directors: 2015 \u2013 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>President: Mar\u00eda Esther Lagos (Uruguay)<\/p>\n<p>Vicepresident: Carmem Beatriz Neufeld (Brazil)<\/p>\n<p>First secretary: Santiago Trujillo Lemus (Colombia)<\/p>\n<p>Second secretary: David Adasme (Chile)<\/p>\n<p>Treasurer: Andr\u00e9s S\u00e1nchez (Argentina)<\/p>\n<p>Past President: Bernard Rang\u00e9 (Brazil)<\/p>\n<p>Members: Maria Celeste Airaldi (Paraguay) \u2013 Roberto Manieri (Panam\u00e1) \u2013 Ileana Caputto (Uruguay)<\/p>\n<p>The Board of Directors maintained the policy of incorporating new member countries, such as Ecuador and the Dominican Republic and advancing with the writing of new bylaws. In 2018, ALAPCCO was invited to participate in three activities in the World Conference of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies to be held in Berlin, in July 2019. It also integrated the Scientific International Advisory Board of the World Conference.<\/p>\n<p>Although Buenos Aires had been chosen to host the following ALAPCCO conference, the venue had to be changed. Therefore, in 2019, the XI Latin American Conference of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies (XI CLAPCCO) took place in Fortaleza\/Brazil, jointly with the Brazilian Conference of Cognitive Therapies in collaboration with the FBTC (Federa\u00e7\u00e3o Brasileira de Terapias Cognitivas) and chaired by Bernad Rang\u00e9. The new bylaws were approved and signed by the General Assembly, and Uruguay was chosen to host the following Conference, and Colombia was selected as an alternative venue. A new Board of Directors was elected. One of its main tasks was to register the new bylaws in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\">The tenth Board of Directors: 2019 \u2013 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>President: Carmem Beatriz Neufeld (Brazil \u2013 FBTC)<br \/>Vice-President: Maria Celeste Airaldi (Paraguay \u2013 APPCC)<br \/>First Secretary: Santiago Trujillo (Colombia)<br \/>Second Secretary: Ileana Caputto (Uruguay \u2013 SUAMOC)<br \/>Treasurer: Margareth da Silva Oliveira (Brazil \u2013 FBTC)<br \/>Past President: Mar\u00eda Esther Lagos (Uruguay \u2013 SUAMOC)<br \/>Alternates: Eduardo Keegan (Argentina \u2013 AATC), Juan Ya\u00f1ez (Chile \u2013 APSICO)<br \/>Marketing Advisory: Karen Szupszynski (Brazil \u2013 FBTC)<br \/>Administrative Advisory: Suzana Peron (Brazil \u2013 FBTC)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This Board took office in April 2019, at a decisive moment for the institutional consolidation of ALAPCCO, with its central focus on the legal, administrative, and organizational formalization of the Association. Among the main achievements were the approval and registration of the new Bylaws (July 2019), the registration of ALAPCCO as a legal entity in Brazil (August 2019), the drafting and registration of the Historical Minutes (December 2020), and the General Regulations of ALAPCCO (June 2021), as well as the restructuring of the Secretariat and the Treasury, the hiring of new accounting and legal advisory services, ensuring solid foundations for institutional functioning and administrative transparency.<\/p>\n<p>In the field of communication and dissemination, the administration promoted the growth of institutional social media, reactivating the Association\u2019s Facebook page and creating ALAPCCO profiles on Instagram and YouTube, as well as organizing digital communication through email lists and institutional WhatsApp groups, significantly expanding the Association\u2019s reach. During the pandemic period, in 2020 and 2021, ALAPCCO\u2019s social media channels were used for extensive scientific dissemination on a wide range of topics, aiming to support Latin American therapists in addressing the challenges of that period.<\/p>\n<p>In the scientific and events domain, the I SIALAPCCO was held in November 2019 in Buenos Aires, Argentina (in-person); the II SIALAPCCO in February 2021 (online); the commemorative event ALAPCCO 25 Years in November 2021 (online); and the III SIALAPCCO in March 2022 (online), all in partnership with ARTMED and with broad international participation. During this period, preparations also began for the XII CLAPCCO, planned to take place in person in Montevideo, Uruguay. Due to the pandemic context, the 2022 CLAPCCO was postponed to 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The administration also advanced scientific and international relations, expanding invitations to participate in international events and launching strategic projects such as the ALAPCCO Research Network. During this period, ALAPCCO also formally requested participation in the World Confederation of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies as one of the member associations representing Latin America. The achievements of this administration were crowned by the re-election of the Board for an additional term, with the aim of consolidating the progress achieved.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\">Eleventh Board of Directors: 2022 \u2013 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>President: Carmem Beatriz Neufeld (Brazil \u2013 FBTC)<br \/>Vice-President: Maria Celeste Airaldi (Paraguay \u2013 APPCC)<br \/>First Secretary: Ileana Caputto (Uruguay \u2013 SUAMOC)<br \/>Second Secretary: Adriana O\u00f1ate (Ecuador)<br \/>Treasurer: Margareth da Silva Oliveira (Brazil \u2013 FBTC)<br \/>Alternates: Nat\u00e1lia Ferrero (Peru \u2013 ASPETECC), Eduardo Keegan (Argentina \u2013 AATC), Juan Ya\u00f1ez (Chile \u2013 APSICO)<br \/>Marketing Advisory: Karen Szupszynski (Brazil \u2013 FBTC)<br \/>Administrative Advisory: Suzana Peron (Brazil \u2013 FBTC)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 2022\u20132025 administration focused on consolidating and expanding the institutional advances previously achieved, with an emphasis on scientific strengthening, international expansion, and the sustainability of ALAPCCO. During this period, new national associations were incorporated as full members, along with the expansion of Working Groups, strengthening the Association\u2019s regional representativeness.<\/p>\n<p>In the field of communication, the new trilingual institutional website, active since May 2022, was consolidated, the Association\u2019s presence on social media was consistently expanded, and the dissemination of international scientific events was intensified, strengthening ALAPCCO\u2019s visibility in the Latin American and global context.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding scientific events, the Board organized the XII CLAPCCO in May 2023 in Montevideo, Uruguay, and the XIII CLAPCCO in 2025 in M\u00e9rida, Mexico. In addition, five SIALAPCCO events were held: the IV SIALAPCCO in 2023 in Mexico; the V SIALAPCCO in 2024 in Guatemala; the VI SIALAPCCO in 2024 in Panama; the VII SIALAPCCO in 2024 in Paraguay; and the VIII SIALAPCCO in 2025 in Colombia, as well as the 26th, 27th, and 28th ALAPCCO Anniversary Seminars, held online in partnership with ARTMED (November 2022, 2023, and 2024).<\/p>\n<p>In the field of scientific and international policies, ALAPCCO consolidated partnerships with the Interamerican Psychological Society, the Sociedade Brasileira de Psicologia, and ARTMED, expanded its participation in strategic international events such as FIEXPO (between 2022 and 2025), and made significant progress in institutional dialogue with the World Confederation of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies, strengthening its global positioning and culminating in an invitation for ALAPCCO to assume the role of one of the associations representing Latin America. Strategic initiatives such as the ALAPCCO Research Network and the ALAPCCO Awards were maintained and strengthened.<\/p>\n<p>The administration was also characterized by financial responsibility and transparency, with regular presentation of financial statements, diversification of revenue sources, and the maintenance of the Association\u2019s financial health. The administration concludes with the certainty that the collective that worked on behalf of the Association spared no effort in realizing ALAPCCO\u2019s vision, mission, and values, with the results achieved reflecting a substantial collective endeavor.<\/p>\n<p>We would not want to come to the end of this report of the story of ALAPCCO without highlighting that, from 1996 to the present day, the Board of Directors met continuously. At first, meetings were held in person, with 1 to 4 meetings a year. Since the advent of electronic means of communication \u2013 Skype but also Whatsapp groups \u2013 meetings are conducted online, favoring a constant exchange. Since the implementation of the new bylaws, in addition to the Advisory Counsil and the Board of Directors, ALAPCCO counts also with an extended board enhanced with three additional representatives from each member country. These actions aim to enhance the democratic values of ALAPCCO, seeking to help members to share the conduction of the organization in a collaborative manner.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=reKs0R5HJBA&#038;feature=emb_imp_woyt<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HISTORY HOME &nbsp; HISTORY Discover our history The development of cognitive behavioral therapy in Latin America has a long history, reflected in the interest of professionals in creating regional associations.
