48th CONGRESS of the EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION FOR BEHAVIOURAL AND COGNITIVE THERAPIES.
From Applied Research to Quality Treatment: Improving Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Access to It Across the Lifespan.
September 5-8, 2018, Sofia, Bulgaria
The 48th annual Congress of the European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies, September 5-8, 2018, Sofia, Bulgaria, is an exciting four-day long congress that brings not only the European but the international community of cognitive and behavioural therapy professionals together to share knowledge, ideas and awareness of the important issues related to the field. It is a place where people strive to achieve progress and are committed to helping others. Amongst the innovations which we plan to introduce to the EABCT is an emphasis on Diversity and Inclusion, something the Scientific Committee will be strongly encouraging.
The overall scientific theme is “Improving cognitive behavioral therapy and access to it across the lifespan”. Within the programme, we are also seeking to set up subject streams so that those with particular interests can maximize their ability to attend sessions focusing on these. In addition to the usual work on CBT with general adult populations, the streams will be
General Mental Health
Children and Young People
Psychosis
General Psychological Processes and Neuroscience
Behavioural Medicine and Health
This should allow people with these interests to choose to attend higher proportion of sessions from each theme. We are also seeking to promote other areas of particular importance including Trauma, Substance Misuse and problems with Inclusion and Diversity (and how to solve them).
The Bulgarian Association of Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapy will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2018 and we are delighted by the opportunity to host the 48th EABCT Congress and to share that experience with you all!
The CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS is now CLOSED!

One of the important and unique features of the EABCT congress is its capability to cover an entire spectrum of topics into variety of sessions. Also, we seek the EABCT 2018 to be inclusive in terms of diversity in areas such as gender, minorities and so on.
