I read a lot of research. When I find an article of particular interest I download it to my bibliographic database - EndNote - which currently contains over 14,800 abstracts.
Manchester BABCP conference: “metaphors and stories in CBT” (fifth post)

Yesterday I wrote about David Clark's inspiring conference talk on "IAPT: achievements, lessons and the future". The lecture was followed by a rather poor conference lunch - I had an image of us all dipping our heads into the brown paper bags of sandwiches we were given, like feedbags for horses. A good conversation with neighbours over lunch, then wandering to a different building to get to the "Metaphors and stories in CBT" panel discussion with Richard Stott and Ann Hackmann. Paul Blenkiron had been billed to contribute too, but apparently his wife had had a baby this morning - I hope they're doing well.

The second day of the annual BABCP conference in Manchester started bright and early. I wrote a bit in my room - I've already written a couple of posts about the first day of the conference - before heading down for an early breakfast. Breakfast was good - much better than yesterday's disappointing packed lunch. Social too, chatting to a couple of other "early birds" about the conference and CBT more generally. Back to my student room - the whole conference is at the main Manchester university. Then a good difficulty to have - trying to decide between two interesting options - either Nick Tarrier running a "skills class" on "Broad Minded Affective Coping (BMAC): a new and positive technique for the CBT tool box" or a symposium with the initially unappetizing title "Understanding anhe
