| General Rules for Abstract Submission |
|
|
|
| • |
Abstracts may be submitted as regular presentations (oral or poster) or as a symposium. Please note that the final decision regarding the session type or presentation format (e.g., poster, oral presentation, or symposium), including the possibility of rejection, rests entirely with ICPM 2026. |
|
| • |
All presenting (first) authors will be notified via email in due course regarding the acceptance or rejection of their abstracts. |
|
| • |
The conference registration fee must be paid upon acceptance of the abstract. Submitting your abstract does not automatically register you for the conference. The organizer reserves the right to withdraw accepted contributions from the program if the presenting author fails to register by the specified deadline. |
|
|
|
|

|
| All accepted abstracts (except Late Breaking abstracts) for ICPM2026 will be published in an online Supplement Issue of the journal Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics. |
