​

  • The theme for this summit is “Translating Neuroscience into CBT Practice: Current Opportunities and Future Directions.” ABCT has over 4,000 members and is a multidisciplinary organization dedicated to science‐based clinical psychology and psychotherapy. The virtual summit will feature presentations, symposia, and dialogues between basic neuroscientists, clinical scientists, and clinicians on how to best use insights from neuroscience in practicing cognitive behavioral therapy, and provide continuing education credits for those who register for them. The summit will also include a virtual poster session, where individuals can present their neuroscience / translational research. The virtual poster session will take place at 6:00-7:30 pm ET / 3:00-4:30 pm PT over the online video chat platform, Gather.town, which will provide a virtual space for real-time conversations about research.
