Well, until I saw this picture of you, @andrewathan.bsky.social , I thought it was only my strange mind. But now I am convinced, that I found a portrait of you when I was hunting for #Graffiti in #Krakow

Admittedly, you usually don't look as grumpy 😅

I missed @herzog.bsky.social talk but luckily it was recorded - schema therapy and DBT were equally good at reducing costs from illness from severe borderline PD. #SPRKrakow2025

A lot of good things at #SPRKrakow2025 this morning, but here is the excellent doctoral student Janne Låver presenting her recently published paper on how therapists’ outcome expectations are formed!

Q: If a student's project does not find support for their hypotheses, how should they present it at a conference, given that all would be null findings? Any tips on what they should focus on to generate useful discussions/feedback?

Repost appreciated!
