INVITATION FROM PRESIDENT  The Turkish Association for Cognitive and Behavioural Psychotherapies (TACBP) is very proud and happy to host the 7th ICCP Congress in Istanbul, the only city in the world that stretches onto two continents. The magnificent city of Istanbul expands on Europe and Asia connecting the east with the west and has been the venue for Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. That is why Istanbul will be rewarding in different ways by offering history, culture, sights, sounds, tastes and smells that will carry you swiftly to another culture and another time. The TACBP will deliver a high quality congress which hopefuly will turn out to be a memorable event both scientifically and socially. As we believe that the scientific success of a congress depends on the contribution of the delegates, we hope that many of you will be able to get actively involved in the congress. The programme will cover all areas of behavioural and cognitive therapies including innovative and controversial developments and will certainly give emphasis on child and adolescent psychology. The theme of the congress reflects the central motive of the event that is to establish closer links between science (evidence based psychotherapies) and daily practice. We have no doubt that the Turkish hospitality, the charm of Istanbul and the fine scientific programme will make the difference between an ordinary congress and a truly memorable experience. We look forward to seeing you in Istanbul to establish closer, social and professional links between colleagues from all over the world. Let's hope to meet in Istanbul in June 2011 in the city where east meets the west.
