2019 - 1st European Congress on Clinical Psychology and Psychological Treatment of EACLIPT
Table of contents
Dresden, 31st October to 2nd November 2019
General information
The European Association of Clinical Psychology and Psychological Treatment (EACLPT) was founded in 2017 with the goal to promote European collaborations on research, education and treatment of mental health problems. In 2019, the association’s first congress will take place to foster such collaborations from October 31st to November 2nd at TU Dresden. It will be the first international meeting in the field of clinical psychology at a European level.
The first EACLIPT congress in Dresden is the place to learn all about the latest international research in clinical psychology and psychological treatment. It is a great opportunity to discuss current challenges for mental health in Europe, meet experts, connect with peers and initiate collaborations and joint projects with colleagues from all over Europe.
The conference theme “No Health without Mental Health - European Clinical Psychology Takes Responsibility” expresses our goal to move mental health into societal focus. Mental disorders are among the most debilitating conditions and clinical psychology offers a wide range of preventive and therapeutic interventions. Discussing these, as well as underlying etiological models will be at the heart of the conference.
The conference will be a unique chance to discuss current challenges for mental health in Europe and initiate collaborations and joint projects with colleagues from all over the continent.
