We invite submissions of abstracts for the International Society for Psychological and Social Approaches to Psychosis (ISPS) 20th international conference, ‘Making Real Change Happen.’
Liverpool, UK, 30th August 2017-3rd September 2017.
Can a conference be a catalyst for change? It is this wish that inspired the title and theme of the 2017 ISPS international congress: ‘Making Real Change Happen.’ Attitudes, practices and services too often seem barely touched by the steadily developing understanding of psychological and social aspects of psychosis. We aim for this conference to be about the valuable sharing of new research and ideas across disciplines - from psychology to psychiatry, and sociology to anthropology - as well as about making real change happen for people living with psychosis.
