2022 Fall Conference Follow-up Session: Practical Application of the APA Practice Guidelines
Are you looking for an opportunity to connect with peers and gain practice with incorporating diversity, equity, and inclusion issues into your clinical work?
The entire IPA community is invited to join the Diversity Committee for a FREE upcoming event focused on practical application of several of the American Psychological Association’s practice guidelines. Building on content addressed during the 2022 Fall Conference, four members of the Diversity Committee will be hosting a "case conference" session in which we will briefly review several of the APA's practice guidelines for psychologists' work with diverse populations and demonstrate their application to a clinical case. Instead of the lecture format typically featured in IPA professional development programs, this event will emphasize discussion and provide participants with the opportunity to engage with fellow IPA members on the practical utility of the practice guidelines.
This event is open to everyone, regardless of whether they attended the 2022 Fall Conference. If you were unable to join us for the Fall Conference session, here is the summary of what you missed:
The American Psychological Association creates and promulgates professional guidelines to support psychologists with their work in different specialty areas and in serving diverse populations. The guidelines provide state of the art information on best practices for these aspects of applied psychology, developed by psychologists with domain-specific expertise and drawing upon the most current relevant research. As such, these guidelines are the most streamlined way to attain a foundational idea of the knowledge and skills needed to engage competently in a particular aspect of psychological practice. Multicultural competency is one such core aspect of our work as psychologists, but without a clear framework for application it can feel daunting to translate the concept of cultural humility into practice or feel assured that a sufficient level of competency is present. The APA practice guidelines are an excellent way to quickly "get up to speed" with working with populations that have been identified as having unique clinical needs or areas for attention in providing culturally-competent care, or to otherwise ensure that principles of cultural humility are effectively incorporated into other aspects of practice. In this presentation, members of the IPA Diversity Committee will provide information on the APA professional practice guidelines, including what they are, how to access them, how to apply them to clinical work, and brief introduction to the content. The presentation will review examples of these resources, address their particular utility for fostering multicultural competency in clinical work, and offer opportunity for practical application of the guidelines.
A brief review of the practice guidelines addressed in the original presentation will be provided in this session, so attendance at the Fall Conference session is helpful but not necessary for being able to participate in this follow-up session.
If you were unable to attend the Fall Conference event "Empirically-Supported Clinical Practice in Specialty Areas: The Quick-Start Guide to Fostering Multicultural Competency" live, you may watch the recording and earn 1.5 hours of Category I CE by completing the IPA homestudy program from that event.
