5th International PBSP Conference
Minneapolis, MN USA June 9-11, 2005 To the greater PBSP community, As we hope you already know, the North Central Psychomotor Society, in the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, USA, is hosting the 5th International PBSP Congress in June of 2005. The theme for the congress is: “Remembering Our Roots; Spreading Our Wings.” While this may seem like it's a long way off, we would like to send out a general invitation to submit proposals for leading workshops, discussions, or presenting papers for this congress. We’re very excited to announce that there will be two key-note speakers: Bessel van der Kolk, MD, one of the worlds leading researchers in the field of trauma, and Martha Stark, MD, a psychoanalyst who teaches at Harvard and is the author of award winning books. In addition to looking for presenters at the congress itself, we would also like to invite people to submit papers that would be published only in the proceedings. So, if there are any who do not feel comfortable presenting a live presentation, a second option would be to submit a paper for publication in the proceedings. Please post this call for papers to anyone you think would be interested. We cannot promise that all proposals will be accepted, but, each one will be carefully considered by the program committee. Proposals must be submitted by November 1, 2004.
