The International Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy

The International Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy (IACP) is a
professional, scientific, interdisciplinary organization whose mission is to
facilitate the utilization and growth of cognitive psychotherapy as a
professional activity and scientific discipline. In addition, the Association
serves as a resource and information center for matters related to
cognitive psychotherapy.

The Honorary President of the Association is Aaron T. Beck, M.D.,
University Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the University of
Pennsylvania, and President of the Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and
Research in suburban Philadelphia.

On Wednesday, February 10, 2010, the APA will announce the proposed draft
diagnostic criteria for DSM-5. These will be posted on the Web site
www.DSM5.org for public review and comment until April 20, 2010. They invite
members of our organization to review the draft criteria when they become
available. Because DSM is widely used by so many health care professionals
in a variety of care settings, your input is crucial.
