World Congresses of Cognitive and Behaviour Therapy
and the World Congress Committee

The World Congress Committee (WCC) has the primary function of selecting organizations to host the triennial World Congresses of Cognitive and Behaviour Therapy (WCBCT). The WCC also facilitates support of organizations that are selected to host World Congresses.

The World Congress Committee was established by mutual agreement of seven organizations, each of which are represented on the WCC:

• Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT)

• Australian Association for Cognitive and Behaviour Therapy (AACBT)

• La Asociación Latinoamericana de Análisis y Modificación del Comportamiento (ALAMOC) (based in South America)

• European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies (EABCT)

• International Association of Cognitive Psychotherapy

• Japanese Association of Behaviour Therapy (JABT)

• South African Behaviour Therapy Association (SABTA)

The WCC hopes that, eventually, congresses will be held on all continents. All WCC decisions, including the choice of venue for future World Congresses, are made by consensus.
