The Genetic Social Psychology Lab and the ACThealthy:Clinical and Health Psychology Lab of the University of Cyprus, together with the Cyprus Association of Social Psychology, are organising a two-day online symposium entitled:
Understanding Health through Qualitative Methods:
Perspectives from Clinical, Social and Health Psychology
The symposium brings together distinguished scholars of the field to discuss how qualitative methods can facilitate understanding of a variety of health-related issues, such as divergences of perspectives and communication issues between healthcare professionals and patient, doctor’s perspectives on patient adherence to medication in chronic illness, diagnoses and experiences of mental illness and psychotherapeutic interventions. A wide range of qualitative approaches will be discussed, such as narrative, discourse, dialogical analysis as well as quantification of qualitative findings.
It will take place on the 15th and 16th of April 2021 online, via zoom and it will be free of charge for the first 300 participants, on a first-come-first reserve-basis.
