Ethical and Legal Issues in Indiana
Sharon L. Bowman, PhD, HSPP, ABPP, LMHC - Ball State University
Stephen Ross, PsyD, HSPP, ABPP - Clinical & Forensic Psychological Services of IN, PC
 
As psychologists and trainees, we are often aware that an anonymous “licensure board” monitors our work and is responsible for disciplinary actions against our licenses. We learn about ethics during our doctoral programs, and while studying for the licensure exam, then may not pay close attention after getting licensed. This program is designed to discuss recent ethical and legal issues related to the practice of psychology in Indiana, and the types of situations that can result in an appearance before such a board.
 
This intermediate presentation has a target audience of pre-doctoral students, graduate students, interns, residents, clinicians, and researchers.
 
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
  1. Identify recent changes in Indiana law and statutes pertaining to psychologists.
  2. Identify proposed changes related to licensure and modes of practice in Indiana.
  3. Identify steps to respond to a complaint filed against a licensee.

Treatment and Health Care Enhancement for Female Veterans
Amanda L. Mayle, PsyD, HSPP - VA Northern Indiana Health Care System
 
The veteran population doesn’t look anything like what it did twenty years ago, or even ten years ago. As women make up a growing number of veterans, Veterans Affairs (VA) and the private sector must expand its services and resources in kind. A recent report concluded VA has made progress in closing the gap of care that has existed between male and female veterans for far too long. New clinics, better training, and an emphasis on primary care have led to better rates of examinations and service.

Over the past two decades, Veterans Health Administrations (VHA) has rolled out numerous initiatives designed to improve access and quality of care for female veterans. Along with clinical advances, VHA women’s health research has accelerated, providing an evidence base that further sharpens the focus on female veterans.

This presentation will focus on descriptions of the unique issues female veterans face while in service and when they come out of service.Ways of providing the best health care services to female veterans, including comprehensive primary care and specialty care such as reproductive services, rehabilitation, mental health, and treatment of military sexual trauma will be discussed.

Special focus will be placed upon mental health and issues such as depression, mood, and anxiety disorders; intimate partner and domestic violence; sexual trauma; parenting and anger management; marital, caregiver, or family-related stress; and post-deployment adjustment or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
 
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
  1. Recognize and explain the unique issues that female veterans face in service and when they leave service.
  2. Summarize the various mental health issues that female veterans may face and recognize how they may be expressed in gender specific ways to female veterans.
  3. Apply empirically based therapy techniques that research has shown are most effective for female veterans.
 This advanced presentation has a target audience of pre-doctoral students, graduate students, interns, residents, clinicians, and researchers.
