BABCP spring meeting: Nick Grey on memory-focused approaches in CBT for adults with PTSD - treatment structure (2nd post)

13th April 2012

Yesterday I wrote an introductory post on this "Memory-focused approaches ... with PTSD" workshop. So how did it go? It went well. I'm definitely glad I went to this seminar. I say "seminar" because, as is typically the case with BABCP conference-associated "workshops", there was minimal chance for participants to …

Guildford BABCP conference: the four main areas I want to use clinically after this conference (eighth post)

28th July 2011

I've already written a series of seven blog posts on this year's BABCP conference. What are the key points I want to take away? I think they centre around four areas. Most important for me is what's been triggered by Michael Lambert's presentation on "Supershrinks and pseudoshrinks" . Secondly, a …

Guildford BABCP conference: last morning and the NICE guideline recommendation on the provision of couple therapy (seventh post)

27th July 2011

The last morning of the conference was pretty abbreviated for me as I needed to catch a train to London at around 11.00am. I went along to the first three talks of the symposium on "Behavioural couples therapy (BCT) in the South-West: New developments." Interesting times. Working in Scotland and …

Guildford BABCP conference: fathers & child anxiety, and more on couple therapy (sixth post)

26th July 2011

Yesterday I wrote about the "Discussion on the Dodo assertion - all good depression treatments are equally effective." What happened next? It was keynote lecture time ... with a choice of four. Probably I should have cold-bloodedly chosen to go back to Don Baucom on "Relationship functioning and adult psychopathology: …

Guildford BABCP conference: discussion on the Dodo assertion - all good depression treatments are equally effective (fifth post)

25th July 2011

I wrote yesterday about "Supershrinks and pseudoshrinks". The first panel discussion, that I then went to on the main conference's second day, overlapped a bit into this territory. It addressed the proposition "All bona fide psychological treatments for depression are equally effective" with a couple of experts supporting the notion …

24th July 2011

Yesterday I wrote about the first morning of this year's BABCP conference and the plenary lecture - " ... Rolls Royce therapy & Anke Ehlers on PTSD (third post)". Good stuff. Heart-warming to see such fine, persistent, thoughtful research yielding such encouraging results for PTSD sufferers. Would that attempts to …

23rd July 2011

I wrote yesterday about one of the first symposia of this major annual meeting - "Guildford BABCP conference ... cognitive factors that maintain GAD and worry (second post)".

22nd July 2011

First day of the conference proper. I wrote yesterday about the pre-conference "Workshop on couples therapy with Don Baucom" that I went to. It was excellent and I intend to write more about it later. For now though, the conference. 9.00 to 11.15am and already we have a choice of …
