Time: Saturday, Oct. 30, 1999, 11 to 5 pm
Place: University of London Union, Malet St. London WC1
Cost: £10

Theme:
"Therapy hurts?" is the unifying theme covering a range of issues, such as:
- Is psychotherapy or counselling harmful? In what way?
- What is the borderline between healing and harm in psychotherapy and
counselling?
- Professional harm: how extensive is it, what factors matter?
- Does registration prevent harm? If not, what does?
- Is psychotherapy a suitable case for statutory registration?

The emphasis in on dialogue and debate rather than formal presentations.
The latter are to be short, leaving time for discussion in small groups and
in a final plenary.
