We are holding our annual research conference

UKCP is holding its annual research conference on Friday, June 7 and Saturday, June 8 2024. This two-day event will feature paper presentations from research-active members, as well as workshops from eminent psychotherapy researchers on emerging key areas of research.

Three invited speakers will discuss the controversies and opportunities in clinical trials on therapy, therapy in a multilingual world, and why psychotherapists and researchers used to be one in the same but have since grown apart.

The conference will also feature engaging paper presentations on a variety of topics, including how psychodynamic therapists respond to what their clients say about sex, the impact of the prison environment on relational dynamics between therapists and clients, using ecotherapy in an indoor setting, sexual inclusivity in therapy, and so much more.
