APTC
NEWSLETTER
December 2014
| Editor’s
Note: You will see that the newsletter looks a
little different. We are shifting to creating a
focal topic for each issue. This issue focuses
on the internship crisis, with a think-piece from Bob
Hatcher, and directors’ response by creating new
internships,. There is a second section on APTC
business, followed by a section with events, photos,
and awards in the lives of directors, titled In the
Lives of Directors. The April issue will focus
on diversity and inclusion. Phyllis |
Presidential Reflections:
Psychology Training is a Team Sport
Tony Cellucci,
Ph.D., ABPP
From the IRS, to
IR, to SOA, to paying our dues, Tony provides comprehensive
overviews of multiple facets of APTC. Presented with
enthusiasm.
Reflections Outside the Box:
The Internship Crisis
Bob Hatcher, Ph.D.
Bob presents
a thoughtful, informed, and innovative perspective on the
ongoing internship crisis. His is a unique voice in
the discussion. And, though he is recognized
throughout the field, we may claim him as our own.
Internship Creation, 1: University of Vermont
Karen Fondacaro,
Ph.D.
As the saying goes, “It’s simple
but it ain’t easy.” Karen gives us a snapshot of
the simple elegant project that produced an accredited,
sustainable internship.
Internship Creation, 2: The PCOM Center for Brief
Therapy
Bruce Zahn, Ph.D.
Bruce’s formula: don’t be thwarted by the
size of a negative projection about size of the project,
and, voila! Short, doable steps in behavioral
cadence get it done, albeit with some effort.
II. APTC BUSINESS
& COLUMNS
Annual Meeting: Austin Texas! April 16-19, 2015
“Challenges in Training Clinics: Trauma, Crises and
Managing Risk”
The Briar Patch: Thorny Challenges for
Directors
They Keep
Getting Younger
Vic Pantesco, Ph.D.
How
many of us have sat in supervision with someone who
looks and sounds like they are sixteen years old as you
observe them trying to be professional and credible to
an emotionally exhausted couple in their 50’s? Ask
Vic about it.
APTC Newcomers: Timothy Fowles and Jon Hinrichs
by Heidi Zetzer,
Ph.D.
Welcome to Timothy and
Jon! Check out Timothy’s clinic in its range of
services and goals, and especially non-traditional
supervision and consultation. And, the “Delaware
Project”! Read about Jon’s “hardly wrinkled” license
which stands in sharp contrast to what he is doing so
early in the post. 60 doctoral students in clinical
psychology, and psychological services through 100 annual
assessments and 100 active therapy clients! And very
creative approaches to internship application preparation.
Liaison Reports: Highlights
of CCTC, ELC & APPIC
Tony tells us about CCTC,
in three words: “internship, internship,
internship”! Also, SOA (standards of
accreditation). Lettie on the ELC (Education
Leadership Conference), technology and face-to-face in
pedagogy. Check and see if you are interested in
being “groomed” for being “unleased on Capitol
Hill.” And Karen Fondacaro speaks of the COA and
standardization also (SOA) and APPOC’s similar efforts
with Post Doc. And of course: Internship!
