8,000 Professionals Pay Tribute to the Masters at the World’s Largest Psychotherapy Conference: The Evolution of Psychotherapy Conference at Anaheim Convention Center The Milton H. Erickson Foundation Hosts International Conference on Psychotherapy.
Anaheim, CA (November 16, 2005) - - A meeting of the best minds will take place as 8,000 professionals in the field of psychotherapy gather at the landmark Evolution of Psychotherapy Conference V at the Anaheim Convention Center on December 7-11, 2005. Held only once every five years and open only to degreed professionals, the Evolution of Psychotherapy Conference is regarded as the largest and most comprehensive convention dedicated to the field. This year, the Conference will draw participants from more than 50 nations (including 100 delegates from China and more than 170 delegates from Australia) and engage more than 40 of psychotherapy’s leading experts as its faculty.
“A Tribute to the Masters” is the theme of Evolution of Psychotherapy V and judging from its faculty, it is a fitting premise. The Conference will feature more than 30 different workshops presented by such renowned authorities as Irvin D. Yalom, M. D., Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the Stanford University School of Medicine; John Gottman, Ph. D., the world’s leading researcher on couples therapy; and Albert Ellis, Ph. D., originator of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), to name a few.
Other Conference highlights include State of the Art addresses, point/counterpoint sessions, clinical demonstrations, topical panels, conversation hours, book signings and a pre-conference event on December 6, 2005. All Conference events have been carefully designed to maximize the interaction between the conference faculty and the participants.
“This Conference provides a forum for the industry’s pioneers to exchange ideas, share new findings with other practitioners and even engage in debate over differing opinions,” noted Jeffrey K. Zeig, Ph. D., Director of The Milton H. Erickson Foundation, which has sponsored the Evolution of Psychotherapy Conference since its inception in 1985. The Milton H. Erickson Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote and advance the contributions of Milton H. Erickson, M. D. to the health sciences. It is based in Phoenix, Arizona and has over 120 institutes worldwide. Dr. Erickson is best known for influencing the field of psychotherapy by legitimizing clinical hypnosis.
Dr. Zeig added, “The faculty are the originators from whom media and psychologists synthesize their work. These are the modern-day Freuds whose contributions have been influential to the public as well as to professionals.” For conference program and information, visit http:///www. evolutionofpsychotherapy. com (http:///www. evolutionofpsychotherapy. com).
