CALL FOR PAPERS:
Would you like to present at the 2013 congress? Intervoice and Voices Vic are currently seeking applications for talks, workshops, symposia and posters that demonstrate new ways of understanding living with voices, bring together different perspectives and experiences, and challenge old thinking about voices, unusual experiences and the mental health system. Presentations should tackle challenging topics and be delivered in a manner that is respectful and inclusive, whilst at the same time stimulating honest and open discussion.
For more information, please download the abstract submission guidelines, the poster submission guidelines, and the information sheet for new presenters.
Submissions must be made on-line, via the congress website. The deadline for application is 10 July 2013.
