On behalf of the International Association of Cognitive Psychotherapy, I want to extend my warmest welcome to you as a delegate of the ICCP 2011 congress in Istanbul. Istanbul offers you the history and sophistication of Constantinople and Byzantium, while the congress will offer you the very best of recent developments in the field of the cognitive and behavioral therapies. What an exciting combination to experience! I hope that you enjoy every moment of ICCP 2011, and that you will either come early or stay longer, to enjoy the people, culture and sites of Istanbul and Turkey.

th ICCP Congress

I am delighted to be involved in the organisation of 2011 ICCP in Istanbul. The three-yearly Congress has built a very significant international profile, and recent Congresses in Gothenburg and Rome have laid the foundations for what I believe will be a truly memorable event in Istanbul. The appetite and demand for state-of-the art Cognitive Therapy, and the underlying cognitive science, continues to grow around the world. Istanbul, acting as it does as a bridge between the Western and Eastern hemispheres, is an excellent location to bring together the international best of both the science and practice of Cognitive Therapy. The Turkish Association for Cognitive and Behavioural Psychotherapies has a well proven track record in organising high-quality international congresses, and their hospitality is second to none, ensuring that all delegates will feel truly welcome in one of the most vibrant cities in the world. Put the dates of the Congress in your diary right away, and keep a regular check of the website for important updates.
