A conference for psychotherapists and other mental health professionals to explore how research can be relevant to their practice. Designed to bring practice and research together in a single forum, to generate discussion about what research has to offer our practice, and to explore how practitioners can influence research.
Peter Fonagy will talk about how Mentalization Based Therapy has been developed as a practical clinical intervention informed by developments in cognitive science, and how its application is being developed and refined through practice-based research in the field.
Robert Elliott will introduce practical methods and strategies for the evaluation of practice and outcomes in everyday clinical practice.
There will be discussion groups about practical examples of applied psychotherapy research. Participants interested in taking the day forward will be able to consider becoming involved in research by joining a Practice-based Research Network (PRN).
You are also invited to present a poster of your practice based research: to submit your proposal, please send it by email to .
