2007-2008

Friday, May 2, 2008, 8:15 pm

In conjunction with the May New Directions weekend conference

TITLE:

Rosellen Brown, Coming to Writing

COST:

$30 / $20 members

CME/CE:

1.5

LOCATION:

Residence Inn, 550 Army Navy Drive, Arlington, VA

OBJECTIVES:

1. Gain an understanding of how creative writers make use of their own experience in imagining the inner lives of others

2. Recognize differences—and similarities—between the work of creative writers and clinicians

These program is directed towards all WCP members, mental health professionals either graduates or in training who use psychoanalytic therapy as a treatment modality, and professionals who are interested in the application of psychoanalytic theory to their area of expertise.

In order to receive continuing education credits, participants must sign an attendance sheet and complete a CME/CE Evaluation form before they can receive a letter confirming they have received credits. In 2007, we will be implementing a new method for completing this necessary administration which should be easier for all. Participants MUST provide an email address when registering. On the day of the meeting, they will be emailed a link to an online evaluation form. Once this is completed and submitted, they will automatically receive a credit letter by return email. More information will of course be communicated prior to each event. We thank you in advance for your patience while we try out this new system.
