      We look forward to you joining us for the Annual Medical Psychotherapy Faculty Conference which is taking place at Lady Margaret Hall in Oxford this year. The theme of this year's conference is Body-Mind Integration. To reflect on this theme, we have talks from a wealth of speakers including our Forensic Psychotherapy colleagues, Anna Motz and Gwen Adshead, considering how a lack of integration can lead to acting out with violence. We also have a conversation on Psychedelic Assisted Therapy with Dr Jonny Martell and Prof Guy Goodwin. There are also sessions by Dr Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan, author of Unheard: The Medical Practice of Silencing, and Dr Susan Mitchell.
      We will also have a large experiential group and a self-care using compassion group on both days of the conference as well as a selection of illuminating workshops on topics including Psychodrama, Music Therapy and Climate Change.
