Review of BABCP 2011
This July we attended the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) annual conference at the University of Surrey in Guildford.
Situated opposite the impressive statue of Alan Turing, it was great to meet with many of you on our stand, where we were proud to have on display key assessments by some of the speakers at BABCP, including:
With a vast choice of seminars to attend it was interesting to hear from a wide range of people from a number of different settings. Key highlights included hearing about the practical applications of author Jim White’s stress model and how one IAPT service had used his materials to create their own stress control classes. In addition to finding out about the development and experiences of IAPT services over the last few years; this was both inspiring and eye-opening.
Whilst the opportunity to listen to Professor Gerhard Anderson, from Linkoping University and Karolinska Institute in Sweden talking about ‘What can we learn from the rapid expansion of Internet-Delivered CBT?’ undoubtedly offered much food for thought for all that attended.

With the new insights gained at BABCP and the timely publication of the Office of National Statistics report on well-being, we have started to analyse the results from our recent mental health research in even more depth, and we’re interested in finding out what areas of well-being are important to you.
Early analysis suggests that areas of well-being such as anxiety, self-esteem, and depression were important measures for professionals.
