Would you like to attend a weekend conference that highlights new treatments in depression, resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the neurobiology of bipolar disorder from the field’s top experts?
Or, perhaps you would prefer to join us in listening to the experiences of a patient who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and survived!
If all that isn’t enough, we’d like to invite you to join some the most reputable psychotherapists in the community on topics that will refresh our psychodynamic acumen, and on subtleties that influence our relationships with an ethnically and sexually diverse patient population. At the NCPS 2007 Annual Conference, all of these rich topics from top experts in the field will be present. You’ll also hear from some the top forensic experts in our field, and from psychotherapists whose patients are on death row.
And, what about the patients in need, who receive no care at all? Can we, as a psychiatric field, improve access to them through the efforts of community and social programs or even the burgeoning field of telepsychiatry?
Perhaps we can even find some answers by hearing from psychiatrists who have traveled and delivered care outside the United States. And, maybe we can bring some non-Western approaches home when we learn more about the interfaces between traditional Chinese medicine, spirituality, and mental illness.
Moreover, what’s all this new talk on rTMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation), VNS (vagal nerve stimulation), or some of the striking new data on deep brain stimulation (DBS) in severe psychiatric illness?
If any or all of these topics interest you, then register now for our Annual Meeting, April 13-15, 2007. Please see the 2007 Annual Meeting Registration for more information on the renowned speakers who will be at this conference and the rich topics they will be discussing with us.
Not only should you register now to receive early hotel and registration discounts, but please plan to arrive and check-in early as several of the above themes will be kicking off the conference on Friday afternoon, April 13, at the Squaw Creek Resort in Lake Tahoe. See you there.
