At this year’s Annual Conference in Otautahi/Christchurch, Aotearoa/New Zealand our aim is to introduce more people to the Conversational Model who aren’t familiar with the model, as well as to build collaboration and connection within the ANZAP therapeutic community across Australia and New Zealand.
The Conversational Model is an evidence-based approach for experienced practitioners working with complex trauma and personality disorders and has an established research base making it one of the best validated of all contemporary psychotherapies.
Dr Joan Haliburn, one of ANZAP’s founding members, a past President from 2005-2008, and its Director of Training for over 10 years is our keynote speaker at the Conference.
ANZAP provides advanced clinical training, supervision, and professional development to mental health and related professionals working within or outside of the publicly funded or subsidised mental health care system. The psychotherapy training program offered by ANZAP is specifically designed to help psychologists, mental health nurses, social workers, general practitioners, psychiatrists and registrars and others to work more effectively with patients/clients and particularly those presenting with significant traumatic histories.
