share late breaking events that are relevant to our field.
This conference is titled “Behind the Supervisory Door: What Your Interns Don't Tell
You" and is designed for Training Directors, Directors of Clinical Training, Clinical Supervisors
and those involved in education and training in our field, and offers 6 Continuing Education
(CE) Units for meeting California Board of Psychology (CA BoP) requirements for Intern
Supervisors. You must attend the entire conference to be eligible for these CE units.
We are very pleased to be able to feature Nicholas Ladany, PhD, at this conference. Dr.

University at Albany, State University of New York, in 1992. He has published numerous
articles and presented nationally and internationally in the area of counseling and
psychotherapy supervision and training. His primary research interest and activity include the
interrelationships between supervision process and outcome, and counseling and
psychotherapy process and outcome, including such issues as the working alliance, selfdisclosures and nondisclosures, multicultural training, ethics, and social justice. He has served

This invitational conference aims, as have conferences in the past, to assemble California’s
graduate education and clinical training leaders to discuss not only cutting edge issues in
psychology but also to provide opportunities to discuss training challenges and best practices.
In addition, the conference affords:
• An opportunity for dialogue with colleagues and experts from across the state;
• Fulfillment of 6 CE credits that fulfill the 6 hours of formal training in supervision,
required of intern and postdoctoral trainee supervisors by the California Board of
Psychology
• A pleasant setting, ample parking, continental breakfast, tasteful luncheon buffet, and
refreshments throughout the day.

organization at this invitational conference, we do need to receive your reservation as soon as
