Psychotherapy research: evidence and its discontents

We are now inviting submissions about any research you have conducted, relevant to the delivery of medical psychotherapy training.

• Submit a poster abstract

1. Abstracts must be in English. Abbreviations may be used only if they are defined (spelled out in full text at first mention) followed by abbreviation in brackets.
2. The abstract must not exceed 300 words including sub titles (see No 4) and formulas.
3. The abstract must not contain bibliographical references, tables, diagrams or appendices. If accepted for presentation at the conference these can be added at a later date.
4. Abstracts should ideally be presented in five headed paragraphs in the following order: Aims and hypothesis, Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions.
5. The title of the abstract must be clearly coherent with the data included in the abstract and the conclusions must be warranted by information included in the results section.  Submissions are accepted on the understanding that the work has been performed with the permission of any relevant ethical or legislative body. The authors should therefore ensure the work was conducted with appropriate ethical and governance safeguards.
6. Authors are encouraged to state their hypotheses and frame their conclusions accordingly.
7. For studies of service users, patients or populations, the number of people studied should be explicitly stated in the methods section.
8. All sources of financial sponsorship of the study should be stated at the end of the abstract.
