Confirmed Plenary Speakers for ESSPD Antwerp 2024
Dear members of the ESSPD, dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is my great honor to inform you about the upcoming 7th Conference of the European Society for the Study of Personality Disorders (ESSPD), on the topic of “Treating Personality Pathology in a Time of Change”. We will meet in person in Antwerp (Belgium), from Monday, September 23rd until Wednesday, September 25th, 2024.
Treatment of personality pathology has changed radically over the past generations of researchers and clinicians. Treatment contexts present challenges and opportunities due to evolving diagnostic classifications, emerging needs in specific populations – including youth and families –, constraints related to dissemination of good practice principles across the globe, the increased use of technology to treat clients, and the more active and welcomed involvement of users and carers in the treatment. Of course, the world could not have changed more since we last met in Sitges (Spain). The 7th Conference of the European Society for the Study of Personality Disorders will take stock of these changes, along with many others our field is currently experiencing. ESSPD Antwerp 2024 promises to deliver a lively cutting-edge scientific program, supported by the thought-provoking presence and guidance of master clinicians and one-to-one meet-ups between leaders of the field.
We are very honored to announce the first confirmed plenary speakers for ESSPD Antwerp 2024 are:
Sabine C. Herpertz (Germany)
Anthony Bateman (UK)
Lois W. Choi-Kain (USA)
Carla Sharp (USA)
Ulrich Reininghaus (Germany)
Christopher Hopwood (Switzerland)
Kenneth N. Levy (USA)
Shelley McMain (Canada)
Dear colleagues and friends, we invite you to put these dates firmly in your calendar and join us in Antwerp. Make sure to be part of it!
I am already looking forward to seeing you in Antwerp in September 2024!
Ueli Kramer
President ESSPD
