Conference
Scholarships:
Scholarship
awards will be made up to the full amount of the conference registration fee. By
the deadline date of April 1, applicants should submit a letter or email to: Margaret
Warner, 5436 S. Cornell, Chicago, IL, 60615 USA; mswarner@ripco.com
Call for papers: We
invite you to become an acrive participant in the conference by presenting a lecture,
presentation, demonstration, workshop, etc. If you would like to do this, please submit a
proposal including a title, brief abstract of your paper (approx. 100 - 200 words)
and specification of any audio-visual equipment that will be needed to Margaret Warner (mswarner@ripco.com [email preferred]; 5436 S.
Cornell, Chicago, IL. 60615, USA). The deadline for submission of brief abstracts is December
15, 1999. Informal translations may be available at the request of speakers. The
conference committee will inform you whether your proposal has been accepted by February
15, 2000.
While
proposals for presentations are welcomed for topics of your choice, there are also some
special requests for presentations:
1. Research-oriented presentations. The
first two days of the Chicago 2000 conference will be held conjointly with the last
two days of the Society for Psychotherapy Research conference (see below), giving us
a special chance for interchanges of mutual interest. So, we particularly encourage
proposals on research-oriented topics which we can schedule on Saturday or Sunday.
2. Empathy dialogues. A great deal
is said about empathy in abstract theoretical terms in the psychological literature,
but it is often difficult to picture how such theory plays out in the lived
experience. Each "empathy dialogue" at Chicago 2000 will structure a
personally-grounded interchange between two or more practitioners from different
schools of thought around the subject of a tape or transcript of an empathic
interchange from each presenter. Each presenter will be asked to share something of
the theoretical understandings which frame the empathic interchange and any other
relevant thoughts or feelings about that interchange. The responder will be asked to
check his or her understanding of the presenters' reactions and to offer immediate
responses in terms of positive reactions and of areas of difference or concern.
Following this overall format it is hoped that the presenters will be able to engage in
a dialogue of some depth on the theoretical and personal meanings which empathy
has for them in a climate of respect and safety. Individuals who would be interested
in engaging in these dialogues around their own empathic work are asked to submit a
proposal briefly describing their own approach to empathic understanding.
3. Participatory events and workshops. Conference participation is highly stimulating and
people attending can easily come to feel overwhelmed or ungrounded. Each day in
the late afternoon we will offer participatory events and workshops which serve a dual
function. They will offer opportunities for practitioners to demonstrate
particular aspects of their practice. And, they will offer conference participants
an opportunity to ground themselves in some way in their personal experience.
Some possible examples of such activities are: person-centered groups,
expressive psychotherapy, art therapy, interactive focusing, listening
opportunities, and bodywork demonstrations. Proposals should include a
description of the activity to be offered and any special requirements for room space
or materials.

Society for Psychotherapy Research Conference. The first two days of ICCCEP will overlap with the last two days of the
SPR meeting, also being held at Indian Lakes, giving members of both conferences an
unusual chance to exchange views on client-centered and experiential research. The two
conferences will schedule some overlapping sessions and events (easy cross registration,
no extra charge), and we will have some joint sessions. The Society for Psychotherapy
Research wants to honor the early psychotherapy research done by the Counseling Center by
Rogers et al. and also has a number of current members doing psychotherapy research.
World Association for Person-Centered Counseling and Psychotherapy. This conference will include the inaugural meetings of the WAPCCP. This organization will serve as a world-wide forum for professionals who
identify with person-centered and experiential psychotherapies. We hope that you
will want to be a part of building this new world organization!
Diversity
Group Experience. An international
client–centered group will be held on the weekend after the conference at another
Chicago location (Friday, June 30, 4 pm until Sunday, July 2nd, 2 pm). This group will
have a particular focus on diversity. The format of this group is inspired by the
client-centered groups run by Carl Rogers and Ruth Sanford in South Africa in the 1980's.
Cost including rooms and board: $240.
The committee built up a web-site (http://www.icccep.org), and made a
mailing.
