EABP Scientific Symposium

Organised by the EABP Scientific Committee

The Science of Body Psychotherapy:
From Research to Practice and from Practice to Research

Date: Tuesday, 18th September 2012
Time: 09.00 – 15.00 hrs
Fees: Congress participants £65.00; External participation £75; lunch and morning tea/coffee included (From the fee of the symposium 10% goes towards the EABP biannual Body Psychotherapy Student Thesis Prize.)
Place: Churchill College, Cambridge University, UK

What do we body psychotherapists add to the field of psychotherapy? How do we know that what we do works and for whom and that it is as effective as any other therapeutic approach? What are the active ingredients in BPT and what do we know about the specific aspects of the therapeutic relationship in BPT. What is appropriate Science and Research – as this applies to Body Psychotherapy?

These are some of the burning questions that both practitioners and researchers in our field are struggling with.

Exploring the interface between practice, research and the range of discussions on the Conference themes, the Research Symposium will provide a place to share, innovate and interact.

There will be two keynote lectures: one from a practitioner perspective and one from a researcher perspective followed by plenary debate. The Symposium will give time and space for exploration of current issues and debates, information, networking and discussion amongst international body psychotherapy practitioners, researchers and students interested and actively involved with these questions. We will also offer suggestions for research that practitioners can apply in their daily work and time will be given to establishing a Practice Research Network.
