Hi all, I'd be really keen to hear any news about a presentation by Kate Anthony, on online counselling research. What sort of reception did it get? It's an area I have a keen interest in, as a psychiatric nurse, psychotherapist and group analyst researching clinical-supervision online!

Hi all
more news from Maastricht... (this is being resent, like 20 hears later...like DUH I got the address wrong early this morning, GMT+1)
last day of the conference, and this email is coming to you now because I got in far too late last night. However I wasn't partying unduly - I was doing research for this latest bulletin of conference goings-on (yeah, right!)
Congratulations to all those hardcore dancers and drinkers who, after a great conference dinner (250 people at the dinner!), continued into the small hours to celebrate the success of the conference so far. (And I have the photos to prove it :))
And it is, still, a great conference. One person said to me that he liked it because of the people, most of all: open-minded and "generous with ideas". And the papers are of high standard... Exec member Ulla Bunz says "most presentations really present results of interesting studies", rather than being vague ideas.
A highlight for me, also, is to see returning AoIR conference delegates and members and seeing how they are continuing and extending their research from previous years. And, since there more than 400 people here, obviously many new attendees are coming, to enrich our experience and bring new perspectives.
Bill Dutton, newly made head of the Oxford Internet Insitute, (one of the keynote speakers who have all so far stimulated much discussion after their presentations), said that high-quality research must be at the forefront of our endeavour and, I believe, we are seeing the continued value of AoIR and this conference in supporting and expressing that research.
Off to lunch now - one more postcard to come.
Matthew
