ICCP 2017 - 9th International Congress of Cognitive Psychotherapy

The 10th International Congress of Cognitive Psychotherapy, sponsored by the International Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy (IACP), is going to take place in Rome (Italy) from the 18th to the 21st of June, 2020.

It is going to be a fantastic opportunity to gain a new perspective on the
science of CBT and its clinical practice while also visiting Rome, a place
with a unique cultural and historical heritage. The congress will be held at the Angelicum Convention Centre which is located exactly in the centre of Rome on an ancient site that dates back to 1569.

Dear colleagues:

Please find our article published in "Frontiers in Psychiatry" about "Why Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Is the Current Gold Standard of Psychotherapy":

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2018.00004/full

As the gold standard in psychotherapy, CBT is naturally challenged by all approaches (e.g., any approach wants to be as good as or even better than CBT). These challenges are good, as they stimulate both CBT and "competitors" to evolve. However, sometimes the criticisms are just incorrect and misplaced and therefore they should be corrected to keep the
evolution/debates on the right track. In this article we have shown why CBT is the gold standard and what the limits of the existing gold standard and the ways to developments are.

Thank you!

Daniel David
