International non-profit society for … psychotherapy research. In principle pantheoretical, multimodality, multiprofessional and international, and for clinicians with research sympathies as well as researchers.
It’s where, well, at the annual meeting of the UK chapter in about 1986, I found my initial collegiate home. I guess partly because those aspirations chimed with mine but also because the conference was both good quality and fun. The fun issues is still marked by the annual international meeting being named a “meeting” not a “conference” but the fun …. hm, not so much these days I’d say. However, perhaps that reflects a societal change as well as my growing old and grumpy! SPR publishes its own journal Psychotherapy Research. I have fallen out of that early love affair with the society, though that lasted probably 20+ years but it’s still a key organisation if you are interested in therapy research
