Scottish Local Area Group of the SPR Initiated

With the support of the UK-SPR Steering Group, a Scottish Local Area Group of SPR has been formed, with regular meetings to begin this September. Modelled after the long-running Chicago Local Area Group, the Scottish group will meet on Thursday evenings in the Glasgow City Centre, roughly every three weeks, from September 20th, 2007. A call for proposals for the 2007-08 series has been issued, with a May 15 deadline. In addition, a day-long inaugural event on Pluralism in Psychotherapy is being organized for September 3rd, 2007, at the University of Abertay, with another one-day event on research on Relational Depth to be scheduled in February 2008. The Scottish SPR Local Area Group is coordinated by Scottish Psychotherapy and Counselling Research Consortium (ScotCon), currently represented by researchers from University of Abertay, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow Caledonian University, and University of Aberdeen.
