Dear Colleagues

The International Family Therapy Association has announced that its 16th World Family Therapy Congress will be held in Porto, Portugal March 26-29, 2008. The congress theme is Transformation and Globalization: Family Therapy in the 21st Century.

The World Family Therapy Congress has a rich history of bringing together the greatest clinicians from around the world and we invite you to submit an abstract for consideration for the congress program. This congress will explore how family therapy contributes to the changes being experienced by families worldwide; the impact of post-modernism on the field; and Intimacy, Desire, and Domesticity. In addition to the traditional workshops and paper sessions, we encourage potential speakers to propose creative experiences for participants that will increase opportunities for learning and networking. The deadline for abstracts in October 31, 2007 and all abstracts must be submitted online at www.paragon-conventions.com/ifta2008.

We expect Porto to be one of our most successful congresses ever and have made sure that the locale and venue provide ample opportunities for learning, sharing, and networking. We hope that you will consider being a speaker in Porto and submit an abstract.
