PIT-UK has an annual meeting involving presentations and workshops for those interested in developing their skills and knowledge in PIT. The meetings are usually held towards the end of November.
PIT-UK Annual conference 2024
The 2024 PIT-UK Conference offers answers to fundamental questions every PIT therapist might ask themself:
Where does this contemporary form of psychotherapy come from?
What are its underlying principles?
Why does it place so much emphasis on the shape of therapist interventions?
How does it differ from other comparable models?
Talks from leading PIT practitioners will describe the origins of the model, explain its specific use for those suffering from borderline conditions, and offer a compare-and-contrast perspective on PIT in relation to other leading models of therapy in the UK today. Beginning with a therapeutic community in London, we will take a journey to psychotherapy clinics in Sydney Australia and back again. The conference programme will explicitly reference the work of both Bob Hobson and Russell Meares, whose legacy we celebrate this year.
