IAFP Evening Seminar Series
Held online via Zoom
The IAFP is delighted to announce the launch of the IAFP Evening Seminars. These bimonthly online seminars will provide an opportunity to discuss a broad range of mental health and criminal justice issues from a psychodynamic perspective. We would very much like to welcome not only those who specialise in forensic mental health, including our colleagues in nursing, social work, probation, counselling, psychology, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, but also those from related disciplines in criminal justice, including criminology, social policy and the law.
Registration for each seminar is £30 for non-members and £20 for members of the IAFP. Particularly if you plan to attend multiple seminars, it is well worth considering becoming a member of the IAFP. Membership includes many benefits, including subscription to the International Journal of Forensic Psychotherapy and discounted registration for the IAFP Annual Conference and IAFP One-Day Seminars.
Seminars will be held online (via Zoom) between 7pm - 8.30pm and can be booked here

If you are unable to attend the zoom seminars in person but would still like the opportunity to watch them in your own time, some recordings are available for purchase on our bookings page.
