EBTA RESEARCH GRANT AWARD 2007
Each year the European Brief Therapy Association awards a single research grant of 3000 Euro for research projects likely to further the interests of solution-focused therapy. The year 2007 there were a number of strong applications submitted, from five different countries. The Grant Awards committee have chosen a project by Plamen Panayotov and his colleagues in Bulgaria. This project will examine the effectiveness of solution-focused therapy in relation to medication compliance in people with schizophrenia.
