Family MDT

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Dr. Apche had an abstract on Family Mode Deactivation Therapy accepted for the 6th Congress on Violence in Clinical Psychology.The congress is held October 21-24 in Stockholm, Sweden.

According to the website,  the Congress is an opportunity for those in the field to share their expertise on how to reduce, manage and treat aggression across disciplines and borders. The 6th European Congress on Violence will focus strongly on clinically relevant and practically useful interventions aiming at treating and reducing violent behavior of psychiatric and forensic patients. The Congress theme is “Assessing, treating and caring for potentially violent patients”. The choice of this theme expresses the need for further bridging the gaps between research on measurement and prediction tools and risk assessment , and clinical treatment and prevention of aggressive behavior at the patient or intisutional level.
