Join us in Assisi for the Eighth EABCT Meeting on OCD!
The special interest group (SIG) on Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder has been the first EABCT SIG to be formed, back in 2010. Throughout the years, many outstanding scholars from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Turkey, United Kingdom, and USA have taken part in the Meetings.
These conferences allow a panel of experts a less formal and more interactive exchange of ideas, compared to traditional congresses: the peculiarity of these Meetings is the large amount of time dedicated to discussions and exchange of ideas.
In order to foster discussion and questions, parallel sessions were never planned for the EABCT Meetings on OCD: the conference is designed to have a single plenary session so to maximise debate and exchanges among participants. Besides, continual comings and goings disturb both the speakers and the audience; thus, in the best tradition of the EABCT Meetings, participants are warmly invited to attend all the presentations.
Certificates of attendance will be issued to participants who attend the Meeting for its entire duration.
The Eighth EABCT Meeting on OCD is sponsored by SITCC (Italian Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Therapy) and is under the aegis of EABCT and SPC.
Looking forward to meeting all of you in Assisi, for a wonderful experience of good science and good company,
Barbara Barcaccia, PhD
Chairperson of the EABCT sig on OCD
