We invite researchers and practitioners of psychotherapy and related practices to participate in the conference. Submissions welcome in all conversation analytical topics relevant to the theme “How Psychotherapy Works: Longitudinal Perspectives”. We also welcome conversation analytical studies that explore ways in which psychotherapy works, without explicit focus on longitudinal processes.

- Longitudinal or follow-up studies in psychotherapy and related practices
- Case studies highlighting therapeutic processes and change over time
- Studies focusing on process of change in sessions and in sequences
- Methodological innovations in conversation analytical psychotherapy research
- Studies combining conversation analysis with other qualitative or quantitative approaches
- Theoretical perspectives on the mechanisms of change in psychotherapy

- Panel (90 min) (3 or 4 short presentations; submission to be made by panel organisers with abstracts of all presentations in one file attached to submission)
