Professional Recognition
“It is with great pride and pleasure that I acknowledge the outstanding achievements and international reputation of my colleague and friend Monika Broecker. Her work and collaboration with Heinz von Foerster earned my greatest respect and appreciation. As Director of the European Conference in Brief Strategic and Systemic Therapy, I personally invited her as a key speaker at the international conferences in 2003 and 2005. Few people understand and can convey Heinz von Foerster’s work as deeply as Monika Broecker.”
