Notification of conference change
Dear colleagues, participants, and friends,
First, we want to thank you for all the support you have provided to the International Congress on Psychotherapy and Cultural Psychiatry (ICPCP2020). Unfortunately, we must inform you that, although the corona virus situation has started to improve, in order to protect participants’ health and safety, we have decided to err on the side of caution and change the content of the conference that was originally scheduled for May 29-31.
New conference dates: November 13-15, 2020
Conference venue: Everbright International Convention Center (same venue as before). The conference will not be organised any more together by the GCAP and the WACP, but will have a local Chinese character. However, members of the organisations and other participants from outside China are still invited to come.
Conference content: In addition to the original conference topics, added units on Psychological Relief and Humanitarian Care in Pandemics
The dates for registration and paper submission will be updated on the official conference website as soon as possible.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the postponement of the conference.
We want to restate how much we appreciate your support. We will continue to work together to organize a very successful, but local conference.
If you have any questions about the new conference arrangements, please contact us or visit our official website:
