CDP News: Aug. 5, 2016

Welcome to this week’s edition of CDP News! We like to use this space to review recent happenings in and around the Center for Deployment Psychology, while also looking ahead to upcoming events. It’s August and the slow summer season is wrapping up soon. We’ve got lots of events on the horizon to keep up busy!

First up, we’re holding an online Cognitive Processing Therapy for Group (CPT-G) event on Tuesday. This event is full, but registration is still available for the upcoming Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) training on 17-18 August. Registration ends on Wednesday, so if you’d like to participate, sign up soon!  Registration is also available for our online Prolonged Exposure (PE) training on 20-21 September.

Also in the online realm, don’t miss our next CDP Presents webinar, “Helping Military Couples Enhance Connection After Deployment”. This webinar will be led by Dr. April Thompson on 23 August, from noon to 1:30 p.m. Eastern. As with most of our CDPP events, participants who attend and complete a short post-course evaluation/survey will be eligible to receive one free CE.

We’ve also got some in-person events on the calendar as well. On Wednesday, we’re heading to Dubuque, IA to bring our University Counseling Center Core Competency (UC4) program to the University of Dubuque. For more information about how to bring the UC4 program or other options to your local organization, visit our Speakers Bureau page here.

This week in the CDP blog, our Staff Perspective column was by Dr. Sharon Birman, entitled “LGB History in Psychology and the Military”. In this first segment of a two-part blog, Dr. Birman looks at the historical views on lesbians, gays, bisexual individuals from a psychological perspective. Also, don’t forget to check out this week’s Research Update. It’s packed with all the latest news, journal articles and useful links from around the Web.

That’s for this time around. Have a great weekend everyone! We hope to see you all back again next week when we present a new entry in our “By the Numbers” column.
