You can only earn CE once for this course, whether you watch the webinar in English or French. Dans ce webinaire, nous explorerons les applications cliniques de la science de l'attachement en thérapie individuelle centrée sur l’émotion (TCÉ-I) développé par la Dre Susan Johnson. Un aperçu de l'attachement tel qu'il s'applique à la conceptualisation de cas cliniques mènera à une exploration de la structure du modèle TCÉ et des interventions spécifiques appliquées dans le travail auprès d’adultes souffrant d'anxiété. Il s'agira d'explications détaillées sur les mouvements thérapeutiques qui composent ce que l'on appelle le « tango à la TCÉ », ainsi que de vignettes cliniques.

    Retirement Experiences of Psychologists and Lessons Learned
    Product not yet rated Includes a Live Web Event on 11/12/2025 at 2:00 PM (EST)

    The perceptions and experiences of retirement by psychologists have not been given much attention in either study or theory. This webinar summarizes cross-cutting observations of retirement stories collected by Rodney R. Baker and Patrick H. DeLeon from psychologists who described their retirement experiences in ten APA annual meeting symposia for different APA divisions from 2014 through 2025. This program is *not* offered for continuing education.

    Description

    The perceptions and experiences of retirement by psychologists have not been given much attention in either study or theory. 

    The webinar summarizes cross-cutting observations of retirement stories collected by Rodney R. Baker and Patrick H. DeLeon from psychologists who described their retirement experiences in ten APA annual meeting symposia for different APA divisions from 2014 through 2025. 

    In these and other retirement stories of psychologists, several observations stand out. Most psychologists give little thought to their retirement prior to some event that requires consideration such as health changes in self or a spouse or eligibility for retirement benefits. Most psychologists do not initially consider retirement a positive period in one’s life but rather suggest to some a lack of value or worth and no longer contributing to society. Many choose to define themselves as partially retired by “slowing” down and reducing time at work to do other things do so to avoid being thought of as retired. 

    The challenge and lessons learned described by many who told their retirement stories in the book becomes a need to be useful, relevant, or doing something of value to replace those attributes in the work environment. The stories further indicate the importance of “retiring to” something instead of “retiring from” something to provide a new perspective in examining and shifting life and work goals in later life.

    The book co-authors acknowledge that they do not have answers to all retirement planning questions.

    The Telepsychology Ecosystem: Ethics and Risk Management in a Connected World
    Product not yet rated Includes Credits Includes a Live Web Event on 10/29/2025 at 3:00 PM (EDT)

    Telepsychology has become an essential part of practice, but navigating its ethical and risk management challenges requires going beyond checklists and simple compliance. This workshop invites psychologists to view telepractice through an ecosystem lens—a dynamic, interconnected system where laws, technology, client needs, cultural contexts, and emerging regulations all interact. Rather than treating these domains in isolation, we will explore how shifts in one area ripple outward, creating both risks and opportunities for ethical practice. Participants will gain a systems-level perspective on the current telepsychology landscape, while also engaging with applied tools to support ethical and risk-managed judgment.

    This webinar is presented by the National Register in collaboration with The Trust

  • Answering the Call: Qualitative Analysis of an Exceptional Therapist Seeing the Mini-Cases of “Anne,” “Mel,”and “Susan”
    Product not yet rated Includes Credits

    While some therapists are consistently more effective than others (Heinonen & Nissen-Lie, 2020), there is very little investigationon the in-session processesofthesehighly effective therapists. One exception is the qualitative and quantitative study of 10 cases of the documented “supershrink” Erigoni(“Eri”) Vlass(Hansen, Lambert, & Vlass, 2015a), so defined on the basis of exceptionaloutcome data from Lambertet al.’s (1996) Outcome Questionnaire-45(https://www.oqmeasures.com/oq-45-2/). The present project builds on the Hansen et al. study by providing detailed qualitative analysis, using Glaser & Strauss’s (2017) “grounded theory” approachof the transcripts of three new, separate, therapy “mini-cases”seen by Eri, as an added resource to ongoing therapy with one of the authors (T.R.). The cases included “Anne”and “Mel,” each seen for twosessions, and “Susan,”seen for one session. The qualitative analysis explored supershrink Eri’s clinical way of being and in-session approachas she carriedout therapeutic actions that allowed for an optimized approach that is both unique to herself and adaptable to each client.The results yielded two core categories: “(1)Keeping a natural, fluid rhythm during the session while balancing directive exploration, frequent associations, and interpretations with a sense of support, empathy and understanding;”and “(2) Fostering a sense of agency, mutual collaboration and positive expectation while co-constructing a credible narrative to be used in hypnosis.”Further, the analysis yielded three sub-categories for category 1, and four subcategories for category 2.

    Dr. Tyrel Starks will discuss essential aspects of the theory and practice of motivational interviewing (MI) with couples. In many ways, MI with couples draws upon elements of established MI practice, such as MI spirit, processes, and skills like OARS, that will be familiar to any experienced practitioner. At the same time, working with a couple means forming an alliance with both of the partners individually as well as with the couple as a whole. It also involves allowing partners to speak to one another and helping them to communicate more effectively than they might on their own. Dr. Starks will discuss how established MI practices are adjusted in response to these considerations.

    Product not yet rated Includes Credits Recorded On: 07/25/2025

    Dr. Sarah Burgamy will focus on the intersection of health care and sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Specifically, she will explore this intersectionality in light of how clinical approaches to health and wellness may differ in gender and sexual orientation diverse people. Mental health providers will learn a functional way to approach patients inclusive of cisgender women, transgender and gender diverse (TGD) assigned female at birth (AFAB) individuals with respect to many aspects of health care. Finally, Dr. Burgamy will explore considerations of sexual orientation and diverse relational orientations as they apply to speaking to patients about health and wellness (e.g., family planning, health of sex-specific organs, care for medical conditions such as breast/chest and gynecological cancers in traditional women’s health settings, and culturally competent aspects of making health care referrals). She will highlight case examples of effective clinical and collaborative strategies for mental health providers to improve the health and wellbeing of cisgender women as well as people who are transgender and gender diverse AFAB people.
