Conference presentations engage topics from existential psychoanalysis to narrative theory, feminism to multiculturalism and sociopolitical trends, and thinkers as diverse as Levinas, Lacan and Cavell, Girard, Ricoeur and Bakhtin. This year's plenary invited speakers include Nancy McWilliams, Fanny Howe, George Yancy, Roger Frie, Ken Corbett and Robert Bernasconi.

16th Annual Meeting of the Int’l. Society for Psychological and Social Approaches to Psychosis (ISPS-US)
ISPS champions the application of psychoanalysis, cognitive-behavioral and related individual, family and group therapies, in contrast to the current reliance on medication to treat psychotic disorders. Their rich conference brings together mental health professionals—psychologists, psychiatrists and nurses—as well as service users and their families. Topics discussed include all schools and methods of psychotherapy; drama, art and music therapy; psychotherapy’s interaction with genetics and neurology; the realities of those who have experienced psychosis; and phenomenology and society. This promises to be the most exciting psychology-and psychotherapy-related conference of the year.
