Welcome to the second volume of the the International Journal of Psychotherapy, Counseling & Psychiatry Theories, Researches & Clinical Practices (IJPCP). This is the first and only International Journal for Psychotherapists, Counselors and Psychiatrists: the International Journal of Psychotherapy, Counseling & Psychiatry Theories, Researches & Clinical Practices (IJPCP). Although practitioners, researchers and academicians from these three disciplines are related with the vision of the provision of effective therapy for patients with psychological disorders and the promotion of good mental health, until now, there is no platform for them collaborate. Recent development in neuroscience and neuro psychotherapy and psychiatry has provided the timely opportunity for these collaborations to take place.

The IJPCP provides also a forum for the collaboration of the development of theories, researches and clinical practices for the first time in the history of psychotherapy, counseling and psychiatry. The need for collaboration in these three related professional activities have been taking place as often we see good researches that were conducted as a result of the formulation of bold theories which themselves were often formulated as a result of insights gained from clinical practices.

In this volume we have published several papers presented at the 8th International Conference of the World Council for Psychotherapy Asia (ICWCP) 2015 held in conjunction with the 2nd Conference for the International Society for Psychotherapy, Counseling & Psychiatry: Theory, Research & Clinical Practice 2015

With this publication we hope to continue the dialogues from these two ground breaking conferences as well those from the previous volume of IJPCP and we welcome clinical practitioners, researchers and thinkers in the field of Psychotherapy, Counselling & Psychiatry to join in this important dialogue and contribute your work in the areas of theoretical developments and formulations, researches or/and clinical practices to the IJPCP.
