Manchester BABCP conference: Jamie Pennebaker, expressive writing & emotional suppression (sixth post)
21st August 2010
I've already written a series of five blog posts about the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) conference in Manchester last month. One of the plenary presentations I went to was given by Jamie Pennebaker who spoke about "Expressive writing in clinical practice". The entry on page 28 …
Manchester BABCP conference: “metaphors and stories in CBT” (fifth post)
25th July 2010
Yesterday I wrote about David Clark's inspiring conference talk on "IAPT: achievements, lessons and the future". The lecture was followed by a rather poor conference lunch - I had an image of us all dipping our heads into the brown paper bags of sandwiches we were given, like feedbags for …

24th July 2010
It's the third and last day of this annual BABCP conference (although I'm posting this a day after writing it). I wrote yesterday about a symposium I went to on the second day. Today I was more settled - I got out for a pre-breakfast run and then had a …
Manchester BABCP conference: Emily Holmes & imagery (second post)
22nd July 2010
I wrote yesterday about the first symposium that I got to at this year's BABCP conference - "More news from the imagery front". The "discussant" overviewing the symposium intelligently and encouragingly was Emily Holmes. Not bad considering that she was about to give the plenary presentation that I went to …
Manchester BABCP conference: “more news from the imagery front” (first post)
21st July 2010
This year's annual British CBT conference jamboree has been a bit unusual for me. I've been coming to these British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) conferences for years now, and routinely I would start with one of the full day pre-conference workshops before launching into the three days …
European positive psychology conference in Copenhagen: Barbara Fredrickson 'How positive emotions work, and why' (sixth post)
11th July 2010
I wrote last week on "Barbara Fredrickson 'How positive emotions work, and why' (fifth post)" and the initial two key points she made in her talk - 1.) Positivity opens us, and 2.) Positivity transforms us. Today's post discusses the second half of her talk and her three further key …
European positive psychology conference in Copenhagen: Barbara Fredrickson 'How positive emotions work, and why' (fifth post)
4th July 2010
I was at the 5th European Conference on Positive Psychology last month. I wrote a series of four blog posts about it, but in the second I commented "I'm running out of time for this blog post. The second talk was also great - "How positive emotions work, and why" …
European positive psychology conference in Copenhagen: national comparisons, interest conflicts & strengths again (fourth post)
27th June 2010
I blogged yesterday about the second full day of this "5th European conference on positive psychology". So how was the last morning of the conference? In order to catch my flight I only went in for the final two plenary presentations and then left at the coffee break - a …
European positive psychology conference in Copenhagen: eudaimonia, Lego, morality & kayaking (third post)
26th June 2010
Yesterday was the second full day of this "5th European conference on positive psychology". I have already blogged about the first evening and first full day. I didn't go in for the initial two plenary presentations on occupational psychology and on Danish society. I spent the time reading and writing …
European positive psychology conference in Copenhagen: Corey Keyes, Barbara Fredrickson, fitness & strengths (second post)
25th June 2010
Yesterday was the first full day of the conference. I've already written about the first evening. The full day started fairly bright and early at 8.30am. First off was a talk by Corey Keyes, a sociologist from Emory University, Atlanta. I've liked his work, but at first glance at this …
