ISSPD Congress 2023

XVIIII Congress of the International Society for the Study of Personality Disorders

1-3 November 2023 | Sydney Masonic Centre

We promote collaboration and excellence in research and clinical practice to support all people and their families who experience personality pathology.

I’m humbled to be following on from researchers whose efforts are remarkable, clinicians who have developed and championed services in their regions, and to work with those who remained focused on ensuring the next generation of clinicians are mindful of, and know how to help, people with personality disorder.
