ALPA Workshop:  Today’s Problems, Tomorrow’s Solutions

ALPA Workshop, February 13, 2010:
The Practice of Psychology has taken some major hits in recent years.  Many have complained that our identity as a profession is being lost and that they feel powerless to stop it.  This conference offers participants a four hour presentation on the state of Psychology in Alabama, how our practice law affects what we can and cannot do, and what we can do to positively impact the profession of Psychology as well as benefit the mental health of our fellow Alabamians.  Dr. Glen King,  a respected psychologist and attorney will provide his unique expertise and insight to help us understand the current problems for psychology and how our efforts can make a dramatic and positive impact on our future.
Then participants will enjoy the choice between two timely and important presentations (2 hours each): History of Mental Retardation and the Law and Capital Punishment OR Early Career Psychologists: What you Need to Know.  Dr. Harvey Switzky, a new resident to Alabama offered the first symposium at APA on this issue.  We are pleased that he will be lending us his insights on this topic.
