license may be obtained from American Professional Credentialing Services LLC, P.O. Box 477, Wharton, NJ 07885-0477, 1-888-647-2673.  Please inform APCS that you are an ADPTC member so they will know which license application to send you. 

The Resource Committee is currently working on affordable access to an automated component of the OQ outcome questionnaires.  A different company, OQ Systems Inc., has an automated OQ scoring, tabulation, and reporting software system call OQ Pro.  This client-server application can accommodate multiple modes of data entry including keyboard, scan, palm pilot, fax, and Internet.  This system includes the OQ-45.2 and the Y-OQ 2.01 versions along with software for reports, which allows monitoring of individual cases, practitioner caseloads, and entire clinics.  The regular price is $1000 per system.  Bob Hatcher has been in contact with representatives of OQ Systems and they have agreed to offer a reduced price to ADPTC members based on a group discount.  Hence, if enough members agree to purchase a system the price may be reduced to $300 or $400 (the actual number of what constitutes "enough" is still up in the air).  If you have already purchased the paper version license, your outlay will count toward the electronic system.  You can learn more about the OQ Pro system at www.oqsystems.com.  If interested, please contact Bob Hatcher at robhatcher@umich.edu.

Bob has also worked to obtain for ADPTC members a 40% discount for Therapy Works treatment manuals.  Therapy Works is a line of empirically-supported treatments offered through the Psychological Corporation.  For information regarding Therapy Works manuals call 1-800-211-8378.  Please inform the representative that you are an ADPTC member so they can apply the discount to your order.

The ADPTC Resource Committee continues to maintain a library of materials typically utilized in a training clinic.  The following materials are available for the costs of copying and mailing by contacting Lee Cooper.

1.  Policy and Procedure Manuals
2.  Informed Consent Forms
3.  Supervisee and Supervisor Evaluation Forms
4.  Quality Assurance Plans
5.  List of selected references regarding psychology clinics
6. A variety of Standards and Guidelines for training clinics (ADPTC, APA, CACREP, University and College Counseling Centers)
7. A variety of ethical principles, standards, and guidelines regarding psychological and counseling services

The Resource Committee continues to look to ADPTC members for contributions of job descriptions of director and/or supervisors, specialty clinic manuals, and clinic file guidelines. 

A major goal of the Resource Committee for this coming year is to have all materials available in electronic form. We would greatly appreciate contributions (and re-contributions if you already have contributed in paper form) in an electronic form such as a Word document attached to an email message.  Materials in electronic form can be emailed to me. This would allow the Resource Committee to easily store and send materials via email to individual inquiries.  If unable to send materials in electronic form, please mail to Lee Cooper, Psychological Services Center, 3110 Prices Fork Road, Blacksburg, VA 24061-0355, (540) 231-7709.

Over past year, the Resource Committee has made excellent progress on several proposed projects, including the development of a mentor system, and affordable access to empirically validated outcome systems and treatment manuals.

Through the diligent work of John Flora-Tostado, we have developed a list of highly experienced directors of psychology training clinics who are willing to share their vast knowledge and experience with new directors.  If you are interested in serving as a "mentor" or wish to be put in touch with a mentor, please contact John Flora-Tostado, Ph.D., Director, Psychological Services Clinic Loma Linda University, Psychology Department, Loma Linda, CA  92350, (909) 558-8615, flora-tostado@psych.llu.edu.

Bob Hatcher has worked diligently to develop an arrangement for special licensing of the OQ series of outcome questionnaires for use in clinics headed by ADPTC members.  The OQ series include adult full and screening versions (OQ-45.2, OQ-10.1) and youth versions (Y-OQ 2.01, completed by the responsible adult, and the adolescent self-report version, the Y-OQ-SR 2.0).  These are paper-and-pencil versions that require hand scoring (for computerized version see below).  Licenses are assigned to  ADPTC clinic directors and allow use of the questionnaires by the director, psychology trainees, and supervisors for a single fee of $100 per version.  The license is not transferable if the ADPTC member leaves the clinic director position.

As you can see, ADPTC membership has been increasing. Currently, 118 training clinics have paid dues for Y2000. It is important to note that although membership in ADPTC refers to directors, dues are paid on behalf of the respective clinic. Sometimes a clinic has co-directors and, of course, directors may change positions. Approximately another 45 clinics were on a previous membership list and/or sought information and chose not to join or are simply delinquent with their dues. If you leave the director's position, please communicate to your successor the importance of maintaining the clinic's ADPTC association. At ISU, ADPTC membership is written into the job description!  Because I am currently consolidating several member lists, I have not mailed welcome letters (sorry) describing ADPTC and benefits to new members, but I plan to do so in the future.
