2024 Australian Association for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy National Conference

Hosted by Australian Association for Cognitive and Behaviour Therapy (AACBT)

Our national conference will provide a great opportunity to engage with national and international thought leaders from across the family of the cognitive behavioural therapies. With this conference we bring together innovative clinical researchers and research clinicians working across the life span. Coming from research, community, and private practice settings, they will present recent evidence-based advances and emerging ideas in their fields for working with cognitions, behaviours, schemas, and emotions for common and complex psychological and health conditions.

This year’s conference theme is “Making meaning with cognitive and behavioural therapies”.

Extending the very best traditions of previous conferences, we are bringing together high quality and innovative work using evidence-based methods to identify or work with meaning-making. Meaning comes in many forms, including through language, imagery, behaviour, emotions, and connections. We champion basic mechanism science through to clinical outcome and translational studies across the range of meaning domains as relevant to the cognitive and behavioural family of therapies.

Our conference also offers an excellent opportunity to connect or re-connect with colleagues regardless of the stage of your career. You will be able to network with like-minded practitioners, share best-practice tips and tricks and be inspired to shape the future of evidence-based practice. Please join us in Brisbane to hear from leading clinical researchers and leading private practitioners to enrich your knowledge of the latest in evidence-based treatments.
