We hope you all will plan to present & attend.Here is the link to the conference website: http://www.sprconference.com/Looking forward to seeing there,Chris Muran, Program Committee ChairGary Diamond, Local Organizing Committee ChairCall for Submissions
The theme for the 47th Annual International SPR meeting in Jerusalem, Israel is "Spinning Threads for the Fabric of SPR." The Program Committee encourages proposals that spin the following threads that have long been of interest to the SPR community
· evidence-based psychotherapies
· psychotherapy integration
· mindfulness-based intervention
· alliance & interpersonal process
· practice-training-research networks
· attachment & development
· child & family
· culture & identity
· quantitative & qualitative method
The aim of the conference is two-fold: To refine our understanding of each thread and to introduce the regional community to our fabric. Each thread will be launched by a pre-conference workshop or semi-plenary and then developed through the program with invited panels & dialogues. Our program committee was organized into teams of experts who will coordinate the programming of these threads. We hope to encourage presentations, panels, discussions, and posters from a broad spectrum of clinical researchers representing diverse orientations, methodologies, and cultures to contribute to the refinement of these threads and to the strengthening of our fabric.
In addition to submissions relating to the specific conference theme, the program committee invites submissions in all areas of psychotherapy research, practice, and training. We welcome the full range of contributions to the field of psychotherapy, including reports of innovative research methods and empirical studies of varied treatment modalities (individual, couple, family, group, and milieu therapies), diverse patient populations (children, adolescents, adults, and seniors), a wide range of diagnostic and problem categories (e.g., various psychological/psychosomatic disorders as well as the effects of cultural, political or economic oppression and migration), and a broad spectrum of theoretical approaches (e.g., CBT, behavioral, existential-humanistic, interpersonal, psychodynamic, systemic, etc.). As in all previous calls for submissions to SPR conferences, we invite qualitative as well as quantitative studies, single case research, process and outcome studies, meta-analyses, methodological contributions, research on psychotherapy measures, literature reviews and so forth.
There are five categories or types of presentation for the 2016 Conference: Panels, Brief Papers, Structured Discussions, Posters, and Pre-Conference Workshops.
