Dear
Colleague,
We are
pleased to invite you to submit an abstract for, and /or participate
in the
4th European Congress on Violence in Clinical
Psychiatry,
October 20 - 21, 2005 at the Otto Wagner Hospital
in Vienna - Austria
Violent
and aggressive behaviour is a complex phenomenon of great importance
in society as well in clinical psychiatry, and has become a global
problem crossing borders, work settings and occupational groups.
Within clinical psychiatry, violence is one of the major obstacles for
effective treatment and rehabilitation, and with regard to health care
workers, violence is the major occupational health
hazard.
Since the
first congress in 1992 in Stockholm, we have had two other successful
congresses in Stockholm (2001) and London (2003), and the 4th European
Congress will be held at the Otto Wagner Hospital in Vienna -
Austria.
The
purpose of the congress is to promote and disseminate current
knowledge within relevant areas of the recognition, assessment,
prevention, treatment, interventions, after the event interventions,
and therapeutic safety management of violence in mental health care
within clinical psychiatry. The congress offers therefore 9 plenary
lectures (keynotes), concurrent lectures, symposia, workshops and
poster presentations. These biennial congresses are organised also
with the aim to offer researchers, health care practitioners
(psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric nurses, and other
professionals) managers, educators, developers, theorists, and others
the opportunity to present their work, to exchange information, to
network, and to promote international collaboration.
We would
therefore like to invite you to submit your work in this field in the
form of an abstract to the chair of the scientific committee. We also
invite you to a social program to enable personal contact,
understanding and friendship among colleagues in the field. You will
find all the relevant information about the guidelines for the
submission of abstracts and the congress program in the brochure,
which is appended by this e-mail as a PDF file. (download Acrobat Reader free: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html)
We also
would greatly appreciate if you could forward this message to any of
your colleagues that could be interested.
Thank you
very much, and looking forward to seeing you in Vienna this
year,
Yours
sincerely,
The
Organisation Committee
