For this truly international meeting, participants have travelled a great distance from all over the world: Africa, Asia, Europe, United Kingdom, North America, South America and, from closer by, Australia and New Zealand. Many of you are either first-timers to SPR, or this is your first time in Australia, or both. With over 280 presentations by researchers from 28 countries, the scientific program is broad and rich in diversity across psychotherapy approaches and modalities, research methodologies, clinical populations, cultures and generations of psychotherapy researchers. The conference theme - Going the Distance: From Psychotherapy Research to Practice and Back - is represented throughout the program and is highlighted in the plenary sessions: Clinicians and researcher learning from each other on change processes and outcomes; and Connecting research, supervision and clinical practice in training and the development of psychotherapists. A third plenary features 'Hot from the press': The sixth edition of Bergin and Garfield’s handbook of psychotherapy and behavior change. The program includes the presidential address, 3 plenary sessions, 44 panels, 11 brief paper sessions, 8 structured discussions, 6 pre-conference workshops and 2 poster sessions. A sample of some of the topics includes: Evidence-based discoveries; corrective experiences; change mechanisms in psychotherapy; therapeutic alliance and therapeutic ruptures; technology in psychotherapy; feedback to therapists; therapist responsiveness; process-outcome; psychotherapy with different psychological problems: personality disorders, depression, eating disorders, anxiety disorders; supervision and training; culturally informed psychotherapy; transference; attachment and psychotherapy; and innovative training methods. The special interest sections: Child and family therapy research (CaFTR), Therapist training and development (SPRISTAD), and Culture and psychotherapy, are well represented in various sessions, and you are invited to join the general meetings of the CaFTR (moderator: Orya Tishby), and SPRISTAD (moderators: David Orlinsky and Bernhard Strauss), over lunch on Friday and Saturday, respectively. The conference program will begin on Wednesday at 13:00 (10 July, 2013) with six parallel pre-conference workshops focusing on innovative work relevant to the clinician and researcher. We will gather for the opening welcome at 17:00 that will include a Traditional Welcome to the Country, followed by SPR's president George Silberschatz' delivery of his presidential address. The welcome dinner reception will be held in the Old Government House. Each morning of the conference will begin with a plenary session, followed with 7 parallel sessions. Please also join us after lunch on Thursday for your respective chapter meeting and on Friday for our annual business meeting. As part of a joint effort to foster the mentoring of young SPR colleagues, a structured discussion that is devoted to Developing and supporting psychotherapy research programs: Advice from SPR colleagues, will take place on Thursday in the late afternoon. The aim is to provide advice and ideas to beginning therapy researchers, and also to engage SPR members at all career levels in working together to design a mentoring program. Following a long SPR tradition, you won't want to miss the banquet gala dinner that concludes the conference on Saturday evening on the top floor of the Rydges South Bank Hotel with its magnificent view of Brisbane. There will be music, dancing and surprises for all! This is your opportunity for informal meetings with the participants while wining and dining and dancing with "your reference list." Over the months of preparing this conference, we have been fortunate to work with a wonderful team - the Program Council, the Local Organizing Committee and the entire SPR Executive Committee. Special gratitude to George Silberschatz (president), Guillermo de la Parra (past president) and Tracy Eells (executive officer) for their invaluable advice and ongoing kind and warm support, to Diana Owyang for her generosity in answering all our questions so that we could draw on her wealth of experience from last year's conference, and to Brad Smith (meetingsavvy), Rachel Mortimer and Gabrielle Hunter (QUT Events), Ayelet Becher (University of Haifa) and Sven Schneider for their excellent work and "cybernetic" support. Thank you all! We look forward to an exciting and successful meeting with a lively interchange between presenters and participants and hope you will have a wonderful experience. Hadas Wiseman, Program Chair Brin Grenyer, Chair of the Local Committee ii Pre-Conference Developing reliable clinical case formulations Workshop Assessment John T. Curtis, University of California, San Francisco, USA For over 30 years, the San Francisco Psychotherapy Research Group has employed a method for developing reliable case formulations in research on the process and outcome of psychotherapy. This method has been successfully applied to brief and longer-term therapies, with children and adults. While developed to study psychodynamic psychotherapy, it has been used successfully to formulate cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal and family therapies. In addition to its research applications, it can be employed by the individual practitioner and as a tool for teaching. In this workshop, participants will learn the fundamental principles and methods of case formulation that have been developed by the SFPRG. New measures developed to guide the formulation process will be presented. Psychotherapy transcripts will be employed to illustrate the formulation process. Participants will also be encouraged to apply the method and measures to their own cases. Pre-Conference The use of the conversational model of psychodynamic psychotherapy Workshop Psychodynamic Joan Marie Haliburn, Mental Health Sciences Centre, Westmead & Cumberland Hospitals, Sydney, Australia Aims: To present the Conversational Model which is an integrated treatment model of psychodynamic psychotherapy, initially intended for the treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder, it has been recognized to have a wider application, and is one of the best validated of treatment models available today. Methods: I will describe its development, structure and applications. Results: The clinical process has been empirically studied through the use of audio-recorded sessions, and the method validated through research since 1990, particularly in outcome and cost-effectiveness studies. It has been found to be a useful method in other personality disorders besides BPD, and in family, dyadic and adolescent psychotherapy as well. It has been manualized. A short term intensive Conversational Model has been structured using its principles during the past two years, and will be manualized shortly. Discussion: will be around research already undertaken; and ideas for future research, particularly the inclusion of ideas and methods for more process research. Pre-Conference Repetitive relationship patterns. Update 2013 Workshop Narrative Dan Pokorny, Ulm University, Germany; Lisa M. Parker, University of Wollongong, Australia This tutorial workshop (3 hrs) will present contemporary techniques of analysis of repetitive relations patterns based on the CCRT-method (Core Conflictual Relationship Theme) and the category system CCRT-LU. The workshop will provide a step-by-step introduction for the newcomers and an update concerning the current issues and new possibilities to the experienced researchers. An active participation during the workshop (asking, discussing, enhancing) is encouraged. For the sake of practical rating experience: Laptops accompanying the workshop participants are highly welcome! Pre-Conference Longitudinal study of psychotherapy trainees: Designing a collaborative SPR Workshop project Training David E. Orlinsky, University of Chicago, USA; Bernhard Strauss, Institute of Psychosocial Medicine and Psychotherapy, Jena, Germany Jan Carlsson, Karolinska Institut, Sweden Louis G.
