Division 29 Collaborates with the Continuing Education in Psychology Office

Abe Wolf, Ph.D., Editor

Division 29 in collaboration with APA's Office of Continuing Education in Psychology (CEP), is launching courses on the CEP's "Online Academy." The Online Academy www.apa.org/ce contains programs that allow psychologists to earn continuing-education credits for completing independent study courses. Currently, the collaboration with Division 29 has yielded two courses: one focused on evidence-based psychotherapy relationships that summarizes the landmark review organized by the Division 29 Task Force on Empirically Supported Therapy Relationships, chaired by John Norcross, PhD, and the other an audio recording and PowerPoint presentation of a 2005 Convention Symposium, "How to Treat the Hated and Hateful Patient." A third course entitled "Proper Focus on Evidence-based Psychotherapy" will be available in late summer 2006. The Online Academy features a variety of courses based from recordings of selected A Convention workshops and symposia. Future courses will include those developed exclusively for an online course format and those modified from existing presentations.
