IAGP (International Association of Group Psychotherapy and Group Processes) conference in Rome, last call

[Michael Wieser]

I sent this a week ago but because of attachments it did not come
through.
 
Dear colleagues,
 
please send a proposal through the homepage and within the postponed
deadline of November 15th:
http://www.ega.it/iagpcongress2009/en/call_for_abstract.shtml 
s. also the attachment.
 
One thing is new:
 

THEMATIC TRACTS
The International Rome Congress 2009 will include a new approach to the
organization of the presentations named “Thematic Tracts”. The Thematic
Tract is the grouping of related scientific activities designed to study
and experience a subject in depth. 
Eight diverse tracts have been conceptualized (co-chaired by H. Fleury
and R. Friedman). Every submitted proposal may be included in a tract,
or be independent of it or else initialize a new tract. Thus not all
scientific activities will be part of a tract. The inclusion in a tract
is choice. The scientific activities that will address the topic or
theme may consist of symposiums, courses, workshops, posters, videos
(see Congress Scientific Activities below). It is the organizing group's
task to promote theoretical, geographical and cultural quality and
diversity of the tract. Activities especially designed for students will
be identified in each tract.
All proposals will be submitted by the guidelines defined by the
Scientific Program Committee (SPC), including the 15th of November
deadline. SPC first has to accept the proposals.

Description of Congress Scientific Activities


Symposiums: Panels organized around a theme: chair plus 2 or 3
panelists and a discussant (formal paper presentations followed by a
discussion of the papers or less formal presentation such as
demonstration groups, overheads). Sessions are 1 ½ hours in length. 
The symposium format can be:
1- a single session symposium where the chair organizes a panel
presentation with 2 or 3 panelists and a discussant around a single
theme for a 1 ½ hour session.
2- Ongoing symposium where a major theme in the field is explored in
depth over 3-4 days. These sessions are organized and led by 1 or 2
chairs, with different panelists and discussants each 1 ½ hour session:
3- paper presentation: 3 single lectures (20 minutes) that are related
around a single theme. The Scientific Program Committee will select a
chair and discussant for this 1 ½ hour session.


Courses: teaching the essentials of a major topic over 3-4 days. There
is a curriculum with 3-6 faculty members. Content is usually didactic,
but can also include demonstrations and experiential components. Each
day session is 1 ½ hours in duration. 

Video sessions: original and commercially produced videos that have
clinical relevance. Videos of clinical relevance must conform to Italian
laws. The videos must be less than 20 minutes long and must be produced
with computer technology. Sessions should include a chair and 2-3
discussants. Sessions are 1 ½ hours. 

Workshops: organized around a specific topic or theme. The focus of the
workshop is interactive: where information is exchanged between the
participants and the leader(s).Workshops may have 1-3 leaders. Sessions
are either1 ½ hours or 3 hours. 

Poster Sessions: a visual presentation of a topic mounted on poster
board surfaces that are 4 feet high and 6 feet (100 x 70 cm.) wide. The
poster should be self explanatory. Presenters will provide handouts and
be available to discuss their work. Posters will be displayed during the
lunch hour.


 
Sincerely yours
