21st International ISPS Conference
Date: August 28th – September 1st 2019 | Place: De Doelen, Kruisplein 40, Rotterdam
Our main biennial event, the International Conference of ISPS, is due in Rotterdam, August 28th-September 1st 2019. Time flies, so be sure to mark these dates in your calendar already now. The call for papers is now open.
This conference is about estrangement and connection. Family members of a person who has become psychotic can tell you all about it, they don’t recognize the person they loved anymore.

SPONSOR OPROEP ISPS CONGRES 2019
Leven in een stad meer dan verdubbelt de kans om de diagnose schizofrenie te krijgen terwijl migranten en hun kinderen een tot zesmaal zo grote kans hebben om psychotisch te worden bevonden. Waarom, is er een verband en wat kunnen we eraan doen?
Het 21e Internationale congres van de ISPS is gericht op de relatie tussen psychose, het leven in de grote stad, migratieachtergrond en culturele transities. Het vierdaagse programma brengt boeiende sprekers en vele praktische workshops.
Behalve wetenschappers en hulpverleners zullen veel mensen die zelf een psychose hebben doorgemaakt en hun familieleden deelnemen. Zij betalen een sterk gereduceerd tarief. Ook vele mensen uit lage lonen landen zullen participeren. Vandaar dat wij genoodzaakt zijn sponsoring te vragen.
ISPS CONGRESS 2019 STRANGER IN THE CITY: the highlights
Living in a city more than doubles your chances of being diagnosed with schizophrenia while migrants and their children are one to twelve times more likely to be considered psychotic. Why? Is there a link and if so what can we do about it?
