Call for Posters!!

NARTH CONVENTION 2010
Renaissance Philadelphia Hotel Airport
November 5, 6, and 7, 2010

We are soliciting abstracts for the 2010 NARTH Convention Poster Session.

What is a poster? Posters are excellent ways to summarize research or single case studies, and to present a conceptual model or innovative interventions in therapy.

What does a poster look like? Key information (brief paragraphs, bulleted outlines, diagrams, tables, graphs) is posted on a bulletin board (usually provided by the conference), usually in large print (to make it easier to read). Easels will be available.

Presenters stand by their posters at the Friday night "Meet and Greet" reception at 5:00 pm to answer questions and dialogue with others who are interested in the content, and often provide handout summaries for interested conference attendees. Posters also usually remain up for some period throughout the convention.

To submit a poster for consideration:

1. Submit a cover page with the title and names, degrees, professional titles, affiliations, & contact information for each presenter. Contact information should include: address, phone, fax, email address.
2. Submit a separate page with the poster title and a 250 word abstract of the content of the poster. Ideally, an abstract should highlight the key content that will be presented, research methods (if a research study is the subject of the poster), place this content in context (in terms of what is known/not known) and highlight any key implications for practice and/or future research.
3. Submissions can be sent electronically to Dean Byrd at ByrdAD@Thrasherresearch.org in a Word format.
