If you are a member of IPOS or PSOD and paid the member rates for registration, your substitution must either be a 2011 member of IPOS or PSOD or s/he must pay the difference in fees.
Refunds in Case of Emergency Cancellation: If you are unable to attend the Psychosocial Academy or the World Congress because of a serious illness (of self or a family member) or death of a family member, you may be granted a partial refund (amount paid minus the $55 processing charge) or a full credit for a future meeting. You may request a refund in the event of other extenuating circumstances as well. Refund requests must be made in writing to IPOS Headquarters. The Congress Chair will review all requests to ensure they are in accordance with Congress policy.
