After a wet, rainy winter Spring has arrived and it is gorgeous with colorful flowers spouting everywhere. I suspect that Asilomar in June will be beautiful. We're looking forward to seeing many of you.

The theme of the meeting will be "Building Bridges Between Science and Practice." The Program Committee encourages proposals that give special attention to the interface between psychotherapy research and psychotherapy practice. All submitted abstracts should make reference to the practice implications of the work to be presented.

The Program Committee welcomes contributions to the field, including reports of innovative research methods and empirical studies of varied treatment modalities (individual, couple, family, group, and milieu therapies), diverse patient populations (children, adolescents, adults, and seniors), a wide range of diagnostic and problem categories (e.g., effects of cultural, political or economic oppression and migration as well as various psychological/psychosomatic disorders), and a broad spectrum of theoretical approaches (e.g., CBT, existential-humanistic, interpersonal, psychodynamic, and systemic).

The official conference language will be English and all submissions should be made in English.

First authorship by an individual is limited to one paper on a Panel. Other program formats such as Posters or Roundtable Discussions are unrestricted. One person can be listed as a coauthor on multiple presentations so long as those are presented by different persons.

Submission Formats

Panels (90 minutes): Papers must be submitted as part of a panel. Please submit one abstract (see Abstract notes below) for each paper included in the panel PLUS an additional abstract providing an overview of the session as a whole (maximum 250 words). We strongly recommend communicating with other researchers in order to organize panels that reflect common interests.

Please leave ample time for discussion of your work; a minimum of 20 minutes in each 90 minute session should be reserved for open discussion with members in the audience, which means that presentations be limited to 20 minutes (if there are three) or 15 minutes (if there are four). The organizer of the panel should designate a moderator.

In keeping with the theme of the conference Building Bridges Between Research and Practice, panel organizers are encouraged to invite practitioners as discussants to comment on the practice relevance of their work.

Roundtable Discussions (90 minutes):- Discussion (sometimes debate) by informed individuals on a current important topic. Consistent with the conference theme, roundtable discussions that discuss and comment on issues related to the integration of psychotherapy research and practice, or that involve both researchers and practitioners are encouraged.

In lieu of an abstract, please submit a description of the nature of the issue to be discussed (250 words maximum).

Poster Session (2 hours): One-on-one discussions between researchers, who display graphic representations of the results of their studies, and interested researcher or practitioner attendees. Please submit one abstract per poster (see Abstract notes below).

Abstract Notes: The maximum abstract length is 250 words. For panels or posters, please structure the abstract with headings: Aim, Methods, Results, Discussion. Consistent with the theme of the conference, please include in the discussion section, the implications of the work for practice. For roundtable discussions please outline the nature of the issue or topic to be addresses. Abstracts will be published on the conference website.

Additional Notes. Depending on the number of submissions and possible time constraints, it may be necessary for the Program Council to request that those who make submissions consider changing the venue for presentation (e.g., oral presentation to poster).

Submission Procedures

Please organize your submission in a document indicating the format (panel, poster or roundtable). All submissions should include the following:

1. Title (for panels please include a title of the panel as well as titles of individual papers),
2. Abstract (for panels please include a panel abstract as well as abstracts for individual papers).
3. Authors' names and affiliations,
4. Keywords to describe the submission.

Send your submission as an attachment addressed to CASPR.committee@gmail.com.

Here in the UK we are putting together a Network of researchers interested in supervision. WE have a small amount of money to promote this activity and we are working hard. WE have put in a bid for a prestigeous seminar series on supervision research which will happen in 2010 if we are successful. We are launching our network at the BACP Research Conference on May 14th in Portsmouth UK.

http://www.bacp.co.uk/research/Supervision_Practice_Research_Network_(SuPReNet)/index.php

We are putting together a portfolio of measures that have been used in supervision research in the past that we will organise and use as a resource for the network. We are searching for these measures by all means possible and would be delighted if you could send us electronic copies of any measures that you have used, with details of the source and any copyright issues.

If you would like further details of the network and our activities please be in touch with us.

Best wishes
