Guided by Sabine Andresen, Christof Mandry and Doris Reisinger, these workshops succeeded in expanding and consolidating international networking on narrative research in the context of dealing with sexual, psychological, physical and spiritual violence against children, adolescents and adults.

For this purpose, a total of 30 international and national experts from Austria, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Israel, Lithuania, Norway, Switzerland, and the USA traveled to the Goethe University in Frankfurt to share their specialist knowledge from history, education, linguistics, psychology, theology and sinology to illuminate and classify aspects of the abuse of power.
