Over the past several years at Cognitio, many facets of the human mind were explored: decision making (2005), situated minds (2006), social cognition (2007), the evolution of minds and cultures (2009), and nonhuman minds, including animal, artificial and group minds (2011). This time around, we will be focusing on the cognitive aspects of art and creativity. We aim to look at the cognitive nature of creativity and the brain processes that generate it or that are involved in its expression. We are interested in knowing to what extent creativity is controlled, spontaneous or unconscious, whether one has control on her own creative impulse and the impacts of training and practice on art production and on creative performance. Of course, art is an important form of human creative expression and it is an interesting project for cognitive scientists to find out if it involves the same parts of the brain or similar processes for each type of art (visual, oral, written, etc.) and if the creative processes in art share more than the name with creativity in other domains. Moreover, creativity occurs in many domains of human activity from industrial innovation to paradigm shifts in science; from coming up with better ways to carve stones to chiseling the perfect haiku. Presentations including or about an artistic performance or production will be more than welcome, provided that there is a clear link with cognitive science.

Researchers and empirical studies reveal that employees may engage with dishonest conducts (e.g., lying, cheating) in order to gain unlawful benefits (Herrman, 2005; Hitsch et al., in press). At the corporate level, employee dishonesty has accounted for $600 billion annual loss in the US and relevant tax evasion leads to $353 billions government loss (Mazar et al., 2008). It becomes evident that employee dishonesty behaviors have generated salient reputation damage as well as monetary costs to employers, organisations and local government. Hence, understanding the mechanism of employee dishonesty to develop intervention strategies becomes an urgent issue. The workshop will be an opportunity to construct multiple bridges between different ways of understanding em- ployee dishonesty and of doing, communicating and publishing relevant research. This workshop aims at gathering researchers from different disciplines around a common topic in order to foster discussion and scientific collabor- ation. Key research themes may include, for instance, what psychological, social or cognitive mechanisms may exist and/or operate underlying dishonest behaviours? How individual motivators and organisational characteristics may help explain dishonest behaviours? And, how can organizational managers and HR practitioners tackle with employee dishonesty more proactively? The workshop warmly welcomes researchers from various disciplines and backgrounds to discuss employee dishonesty, issues and further implications in the workplace. Research from Economics, Psychology, Marketing or Business is welcome.

The series is interdisciplinary; we invite theoretical contributions and historical, literary or clinical case studies from philosophers, sociologists, psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, group analysts, literary theorists, historians and others. Perspectives from different psychoanalytic schools are most welcome. We emphasise room for discussion among the presenters and participants, thus the symposium series creates a space where representatives of different perspectives come together and engage with one another’s contributions, participating in a community of thought. We aim to be non-discriminatory and egalitarian. Disrespect or discrimination towards the forum or any of its participants on the basis of nationality, skin colour, ethnicity, religion, gender or sexuality will not be tolerated. We aim to disseminate the knowledge produced in these fora by means of publications.

I en- thusiastically invite you—clinical and counselling psychology students, educators, researchers, and practitioners from around the world—to attend the Congress. We have a talented and committed team of CPSYC Scientific Committee and Board of Reviewers who are working hard to make the 2013 Congress another resounding success. The 2013 International Congress on Clinical and Counselling Psychology will take place in Istanbul, Turkey, on August 06th-09th, 2013. This Congress will not only build on the success of previous C-crcs conferences and congresses, but will also seek to raise the bar in international exchange of ideas, collaborations, and cooperation among academics, clinical psychologists, counselling psychologists, and other practitioners. The 2013 Congress will provide unrivalled opportunities for participants to rub minds and bounce off ideas with each other. It will seek to facilitate discussions including challenges to clinical and counselling psychology inter- nationally, providing a forum for scientific debate and constructive interaction in a multicultural environment such as Istanbul. The Congress will provide a platform for educators, researchers, students, and practitioners to present their work; to exchange knowledge, ideas, and experience; and to identify solutions to existing challenges in clinical and counselling psychology globally. Doctoral candidates are particularly invited to present and discuss their research ideas and work in progress.

Our international ISPS conferences over 57 years have an excellent reputation for the quality of the content and for the friendly atmosphere in which all contributors and participants are made to feel very welcome. Throughout the world the cycle is turning more and more towards exploring the multitude of ways in which psy- chology is relevant to psychosis, from understanding early experiences and their effects on mind and brain, to trauma, to the psychology of stigma, and we could add here a very long list but emphasise our particular conference focus on the psychological therapies of many kinds relevant to psychosis. We encourage you to come and participate, to consider offering a paper of your own, or organise a symposium and join in the lively discussions and we guarantee you will return home enriched and enthused.
