Hi Collette, I'm not 100% sure about conferences in the Pacific North-West; however, have you tried the following: www.brief-therapy.net or www.inetarena.com or www.ezonline.com or www.bps.org.uk (the British Psychological Society- they often post conference notices on their site)
I hope these are of use, I came across them by chance- I am researching therapist's and trainee counselling psychologists views on the provision of brief therapy in primary care. Any views/ comments would be appreciated. raithatha@claranet.com Good luck! Bhavna
