New Research Study Groups

From September 2009, the Research Interest Groups for CCP members will be re-branded as RESEARCH STUDY GROUPS

The change of name for this service is to emphasise that the purpose of the groups is to support trainee and accredited psychotherapists to meet their Masters level study and project requirements in research for Registration as a Psychotherapist with BeeLeaf and UKCP.

To this end, we will be bringing in two experienced researchers as new Group Leaders with a variety of experience in NHS and other sites of psychotherapy research, offering support of a range of research methods and studies relevant to psychotherapy, and with a passion to support Psychotherapists to learn about and achieve credible research in their field, with a view to publication in relevant journals.

The core themes of the RSGs will be the projects and proposals of trainees and members. Suggested research papers for group study will usually be nominated by trainees as relevant to their projects. Group Leaders will also be available to advise and reassure regarding the steps to complete a proposal and project and to facilitate peer support and discussion in these endeavours.

Note: Attendance can be counted as Continuing Professional Development. It is your responsibility to obtain a signature from the Group Leader on your CPD Log.
