2nd Annual International Conference on Cognitive and Behavioral Psychology (CBP 2013) February 24, 2013

CONFERENCE THEME

Going beyond the study of the human mind, academics and professionals working in the field of Psychology now play a pivotal role in promoting the development as well as recovery of mental health on a global scale. This is even more so with the global shift in focus of mental healthcare services from traditional methods to community-based and family-focused practices. Psychology professionals now more than ever are being called upon to respond to the needs of society and individuals experiencing crisis in different forms such as war, famine, economic turmoil, crime, murder, abuse, loneliness, and despair.

This conference aims to bring together the world’s leading researchers, engineers and scientists whose professional interests involve psychological theories and practices. The conference will also provide a valuable opportunity for psychology professionals from different cultural backgrounds and diverse fields to explore the global impact of psychology as a field of practice on community and individual mental health care.

Global perspectives shall complement discussions regarding the generation, promotion and implementation of evidence-based psychological practice. Through the sharing and exchange of information about the latest developments in the field of psychology among experts from across the globe, the Conference shall be able to generate a major contribution to the formulation of global and regional strategies in the advancement of psychology.
