The President's Letter
October 2025
Emer. Prof. George Christodoulou
M.D., Ph.D., F.I.C.P.M., F.R.C. Psych – Athens, Greece

christo2022 01 Dear Friends and Colleagues

With my previous month's letter to you I expressed the hope that at last Peace will come back to our world and Europe. I also forwarded to you our Position Statement on "Preservation of Peace". I would certainly be accused of having delusions of grandeur if I dared to say that peace in the Middle East was achieved as a result of our Statement! Yet, it is with great relief that all of us witnessed the peace agreement. Let us hope that it will last.

Turning now to our matters in the EAPE, we had three wonderful sections' webinars during last month, on the relationship of Medicine and Music, on Artificial Intelligence and on issues related to the Young and Old-olds.

At the end of this month (30 October 2025, 3.00 pm, Rome time) our section "The Elderly in our Society" will organize an interesting and ambitious webinar.... CLICK HERE TO READ THE WHOLE LETTER

EAPE's Position Statement
On Preservation of Peace by Emeriti Professors

War has a catastrophic influence on humanity. It steals life, health and hope. It destroys economy, nutrition and ecosystems. But, its effects on infrastructure and economies cannot be compared to human suffering.
On an individual basis it produces short term and long term psychological trauma like Ρost-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) depression and anxiety. In children it produces emotional dysregulation, disruption of attachment as well as cognitive and behavioral problems. Additionally, parental trauma can influence offspring stress.

On a social level it destroys societies from within, produces displacement and forced migration that creates a multitude of problems to victims but also to host countries, causes disruption of social fabric and inter-group violence... CLICK HERE TO READ THE WHOLE STATEMENT
