For those of you who are interested in CyberTherapy:
The Interactive Media Institute, APA approved for offering continuing education for psychologists, is currently organizing the 14th annual CyberTherapy and CyberPsychology Conference in 2009. They are currently taking submissions for posters, oral presentions and symposiums. The conference will take place on June 21-23, 2009, at VILLA CARAMORA, an historical dwelling located on the Lago Maggiore, Verbania-Intra, Italy.
Here’s an excerpt from their Themes and Topics page:
The 14th Annual CyberTherapy and CyberPsychology Conference
brings together researchers, clinicians, funders and policy makers to share and discuss the growing disciplines of CyberTherapy and CyberPsychology.The conference will seek input from a wider segment of the scientific community, and is interested in attracting experts in clinical therapy and rehabilitation, cognitive sciences, social sciences, and computer sciences interested in the meeting’s core topics: emerging applications of new media, design of new media and effects of new media.
Conference attendees have the opportunity to play a role in designing the future of cyberpsychology and health care.
This sounds like it could be an amazing opportunity to learn, or perhaps even present. If you check this page out further, you’ll notice the wide range of topics they are interested in addressing during this conference. I’d love to go….and its in Italy!
Finally, CyberTherapy arrived in Italy too…

Bye!
Cool blog CyberMaster. You must be excited for the conference!
This sounds like fun! I think the U.S. is really far behind in cybertherapy. Mostly because of State to State regulations. Canada has really got the right idea and has been very successful in making cybercounseling available to people. I would really love to attend this conference… I guess I’ll keep saving and hope for the best!
