The Division of Psychotherapy is pleased to offer an exciting convention program this year in San Diego! We want to thank everyone for their fine submissions and let you know that we very much appreciate the time and effort that goes into these. Unfortunately, because of limitations of program hours (based on the number of members in our Division who attend the APA Convention), we are unable to accept all the quality submissions that we would like. Our blind raters work very hard at rating each program and there are many submissions that we hope to see again next year. This year’s program will be exciting and inspiring for both our younger and later career members. Many of the leaders in the field will present their latest thinking, research, and clinical strategies for us to take back to our offices and institutions. We were also able to participate in planning the plenary sessions that APA sponsors, which will be very relevant to psychotherapy.
We are conducting suite programming this year and hope that you will all drop by when you have a few minutes or more to share your experience, to network, and to share some nourishment. We are very excited this year to offer “Brunch with Barnett,” a suite program on psychotherapists’ self-care and life balance on Saturday morning with Dr. Jeff Barnett. Please check back to our website for greater details and information on registering. We will keep you posted about further suite programming as we go.
Please carefully review our program and highlight those sessions that you want to attend. Don’t forget to encourage early career psychologists and students to attend our “Lunch with the Masters” where there will be copious food and a very popular book raffle. This year, our masters include Drs. Jeffrey Magnavita Judith Beck, Louise Silverstein, Florence Kaslow, and others.
We think there is an abundance of riches here and (unfortunately!) deciding what to attend will be a challenge.
See you all in San Diego!
