Papers should deal with any application of psychology—including psychoanalysis, object relations, feminist, Jungian, or Lacanian approaches, cognitive psychology, or neuroscience–to the study of literature, film and visual media, painting, sculpture, music, performance, or the other arts. Our conference is small (maximum 75 papers), convivial, and draws scholars from around the world. We also welcome artists and conferees who do not present papers.

The registration fee of $375 includes sessions, coffee breaks, the opening reception (evening of June 24), two tours (June 25 afternoon city tour and June 28 afternoon bus tour), and Sunday evening June 28 closing banquet in Montreal. For an additional charge, there is also an optional one-day post-conference tour to Quebec City and Montmorency Falls on Monday June 29 (details TBA).

The registration fee is reduced to $190 for graduate students; for conferees from Russia, Central or Eastern Europe; for accompanying children under 18; and for partners, friends, or family who attend June 28 only (the bus tour and banquet).
