The need for global health policies that promote emotional resilience within supportive medicine\u2014particularly in the context of chronic conditions such as breast cancer\u2014has never been more urgent.<\/p>\n In this talk, I will trace the journey from fundamental scientific discoveries in our research on attentional control and its role in emotional vulnerability and resilience, to translational interventions capable of delivering sustainable improvements in quality of life.

The primary focus is on (breast) cancer, where anxiety and depression are known to shape clinical outcomes, limiting the effectiveness of survival\u2011extending medical advances. The broader implications extend across chronic illness and mental health more generally.<\/p>\n I will conclude by outlining how simple, accessible, and psycho\u2011educational interventions can be systematically embedded within healthcare delivery models and policy frameworks, enabling sustainable support structures that empower patients, clinicians, and services to move beyond survival toward long\u2011term resilience and recovery.<\/p>\n BIOGRAPHIE<\/strong><\/p>\n Nazanin Derakhshan est professeure de psychopathologie exp\u00e9rimentale et fondatrice du Centre pour le renforcement de la r\u00e9silience face au cancer du sein (BRiC) au Royaume-Uni.

These conditions frequently co-occur with other mental health problems and, when left untreated, often follow a chronic and impairing trajectory into adulthood, impacting educational attainment, social functioning, and long-term wellbeing. Despite the availability of effective, evidence-based interventions, access to mental health services for children and adolescents remains limited worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries and other under-resourced settings. Research has identified a broad range of psychosocial, environmental, and developmental factors that contribute to the onset and maintenance of anxiety and depression in youth. However, much of this evidence is derived from studies conducted in Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) contexts, raising important questions about its applicability across diverse cultural settings. Cultural context plays a critical role in shaping how mental health difficulties are experienced, expressed, and understood, as well as influencing help-seeking behaviours, stigma, family and community responses, and access to care. This keynote will draw on cross-cultural research to examine both universal and culture-specific mechanisms underlying youth anxiety and depression. It will explore how these insights can inform the cultural adaptation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with a focus on maintaining core therapeutic principles\u2014such as cognitive restructuring, behavioural activation, and skills training\u2014while enhancing cultural relevance, engagement, and acceptability. Practical examples will illustrate how CBT-based interventions can be adapted across different cultural, educational, and resource contexts. The keynote will also address key challenges in implementing culturally responsive CBT interventions, including barriers and facilitators at the individual, community, and system levels. Emphasis will be placed on strategies to improve accessibility, scalability, and sustainability, particularly within school and community settings. By situating CBT within a broader cultural framework, this keynote highlights the importance of flexible, context-sensitive approaches to ensure that evidence-based interventions remain effective and equitable for diverse populations of young people worldwide.<\/p>\n BIOGRAPHIE<\/strong><\/p>\n Cecilia A.

However, we have reached a crisis point because treatment efficacy has not been improving over the last few decades. To overcome this crisis, I will discuss 3 strategies to improve our CBT approach, primarily focused on mood and anxiety disorders. First, insights from translational research and neuroscience can augment existing strategies, even on the molecular level. Second, theory-informed novel therapeutic strategies can enhance treatment success. Third, and perhaps most importantly, we need to revisit and improve some of our basic models and paradigms that serve as the basis for CBT. This may require a radical departure from the latent disease model of the current psychiatric nosology of the DSM\/ICD and the absurd proliferation of the protocols-for-syndrome approach. Such a paradigm shift is currently underway, moving toward process-based therapy (PBT). PBT focuses on how to best target and change core biopsychosocial processes in a specific situation for given goals with a given client. This approach recognizes that psychotherapy typically involves non-linear (rather than linear), bidirectional (rather than unidirectional), and dynamic changes of many (rather than only a few) interconnected variables. Effective therapy leads to changes of the entire system toward a stable and adaptive state. This requires gathering high-density longitudinal idiographic data to capture the complexity of psychopathology using a dynamic network approach within the general framework of evolutionary science. I will conclude that CBT can be improved through translational research while embracing an evolutionary model toward psychopathology and treatment change.<\/p>\n Key References:<\/em> Westhoff, M., Berg, M., Reif, A., Rief, W., & Hofmann, S.

We have made extraordinary progress in developing approaches to treatment and prevention. Both cognitive and mindfulness-based therapies have been shown to be as effective as medication, to prevent relapse, and to give people skills that extend well beyond the end of treatment. Clinical guidelines around the world now recommend these approaches. And yet mental health remains a major challange, particularly among young people and those in socioeconomically deprived communities. Specialist psychological therapies, however well-delivered, can only ever reach a fraction of those who need them.<\/p>\n This keynote traces the arc of that progress and asks what comes next. The argument is threefold. First, we need to move beyond treatment to prevention \u2014 intervening earlier, and at scale, before depression takes hold. Second, we need to move beyond prevention to flourishing \u2014 teaching foundational skills for mental health and a life well lived, not merely the absence of disorder. Third, we need approaches that are accessible, engaging, and inclusive across the full range of life stages and contexts, from schools and workplaces to communities and families.<\/p>\n Drawing on ancient wisdom and the best of modern psychological science, the Mindfulness for Life programme represents one response to this challenge. Organised around levels of learning \u2014 systemic, introductory, intermediate, and advanced \u2014 it offers a scalable, evidence-informed pathway from managing daily difficulties to living with purpose, resilience, and connection.<\/p>\n A vision for 2050 is a world free from the devastating impacts of depression, where people flourish. This keynote sets out what that vision demands of us as researchers, clinicians, and teachers \u2014 and what the evidence suggests is within reach.<\/p>\n Key References:<\/em> BIOGRAPHIE<\/strong><\/p>\n Willem Kuykem est professeur Ritblat de pleine conscience et de sciences psychologiques \u00e0 l’Universit\u00e9 d’Oxford, au Royaume-Uni.

The current literature on key approaches, their empirical support, and proposed mechanisms of action will be summarised. Cognitive-behavioural therapy for psychosis (CBTp) is the most extensively studied intervention. Randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses show modest but reliable benefits for positive symptoms, distress, functioning, and relapse prevention, particularly when CBTp is provided in addition to antipsychotic medication. Family interventions, typically combining psychoeducation, communication training, and problem-solving, consistently reduce relapse and rehospitalization. Cognitive remediation yields small to moderate improvements in cognition and functional outcomes. Social skills training and supported employment further enhance social and vocational functioning, complementing more symptom-focused therapies. Emerging approaches, including acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and compassion-focused therapy, show promising effects though the evidence base remains more limited. Overall, the evidence supports routine provision of structured, manualized psychological interventions as part of standard care for psychosis.<\/p>\n BIOGRAPHIE<\/strong><\/p>\n Je suis professeur de psychologie \u00e0 l’Universit\u00e9 d’Oslo et \u00e0 l’Universit\u00e9 de Li\u00e8ge.

And what if the therapist, too, is caught in cycles of self-criticism that silently shape the therapeutic encounter? Rather than replacing CBT, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) offers a powerful framework for enhancing its techniques through the lens of evolved motivational systems. Drawing on evolutionary science, affective neuroscience, and a growing body of meta-analytic evidence, I will illustrate how compassion \u2014 understood as a complex, evolved motivational system \u2014 can regulate shame and self-criticism, two key transdiagnostic processes often resistant to cognitive restructuring alone. By focusing on both intrapersonal and interpersonal motivational shifts, CFT promotes physiological regulation and deepens emotional processing, thereby facilitating belief and schema change. I will share findings from my research on heart rate variability and psychophysiological responses to compassion-based interventions, highlighting how motivational change precedes and enables cognitive change. Special attention will be given to CFT\u2019s application in LGBTQ+ populations, where shame-based processes are deeply intertwined with social stigma and identity development. This lecture will also briefly highlight the emerging relevance of compassion-focused approaches within psychedelic-assisted therapy, particularly in supporting preparation, emotional safeness, and the integration of difficult or transformative experiences. At the heart of CFT lies a deep awareness of the therapeutic relationship \u2014 not only with our clients, but with ourselves. By addressing the shame and self-doubt that arise in our own practice, compassion allows us to embrace our complexity, and become safer, braver spaces for others. Ultimately, this lecture will offer a perspective on how compassion \u2014 far from being a soft addition \u2014 serves as a scientifically grounded, powerful catalyst for transformation within cognitive therapy.<\/p>\n Petrocchi, N., Kirby, J.

The first was built by researchers and clinicians asking how to extend the reach of evidence-based therapy. The second is being built by technology companies asking how to make a language model feel like a therapist. The difference between those two questions is the difference between clinical science and product design. Recent statistics suggest AI chatbots may already be the largest unregulated provider of mental health support in the world, yet research shows that these tools systematically fail at core therapeutic tasks, including recognizing suicidal intent and challenging distorted thinking, while their design actively rewards engagement over recovery. Just as social media prompted calls for regulation and independent research, AI in mental health now may demand the same pause. This talk will examine where digital mental health helps, where it may harm, and why practitioners should lead the conversation about what comes next.<\/p>\n BIOGRAPHIE<\/strong><\/p>\n Ioana R.
