This two-day conference offers a review and refresher on classic evidence-supported treatments. Contemporary therapies that reflect both an expansion of well-established practices and new practice in
mental health counseling will be presented. Ethical and legal issues involving clinical practice and research will be explored. There will be an interactive session where senior psychologists will share their knowledge and experiences with those early in their careers.
