"Family Aggression: Causes & Consequences" First Biennial Conference of the International Family Aggression Society

Venue: University of Central Lancashire, Preston, UK, PR1 2HE
The University of Central Lancashire is pleased to announce th

e first biennial conference of the International Family Aggression Society. The aim of this conference is to bring together academics, researchers, policy makers and service providers who are involved in working towards understanding, preventing and/or treating family aggression or the consequences of it. The focus of this conference is therefore broad and includes aggression between romantic partners, parent to child aggression, child to parent aggression, sibling aggression, elder aggression, and aggression to companion animals. As aggression within the family home contributes to physical and psychological injury, family breakdown, disrupted schooling and employment, antisocial behaviour and criminality, ill health and higher mortality papers on these topics are also encouraged. The multifaceted nature of family aggression highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach and therefore papers from all disciplines are welcomed.

CALL FOR SYMPOSIA, PAPERS AND POSTERS
We are looking for oral and poster presentations on any aspect of family aggression, its causes or consequences. Please submit your abstract using the abstract submission form which can be downloaded from http://www.uclan.ac.uk/facs/science/psychol/ifas/ifasindex.html [4] . The closing date for abstracts is 31st October 2007 . Please note that presenters need to register for the conference and pay the registration fee (there are a limited number of DFP sponsored places and also a limited number of places at a reduced rate for charity/voluntary service providers). The conference language is English.

Please address all abstracts and enquiries to:
