Research Academy 2023
Embracing the Art and Science of Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is often described as both an art and a science. This conference invites discussion about therapist-researchers’ ‘epistemological home(s)’. Where do we -as counsellors, psychotherapists and counselling psychologists ‘belong’ in terms of academic disciplines? What do we hold as ‘true’ and how do we generate knowledge about that?
The seminars cover the exciting space between a scientific and a phenomenological and/or socially constructionist-based stance —with a rich variation, both between and within, the different approaches.
Place: Remote, hosted on Zoom video conferencing service.
We are at capacity for this event and are not accepting any more registrations.
