In-person Continuing Education Requirement:
As many of you know, the in-person continuing education requirement was waived for the 2018-2020 licensing period due to COVID. We are working with the Clinical Psychologist Licensing Board and the Acting Secretary of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to see if this requirement can be waived for this licensing period. We were told that there is support to do this but it will take another Emergency Rule, which cannot be issued until 150 or fewer days before our licenses renew. We don’t expect to hear anything until after April 1, 2022. We’ll let our members know as soon as we hear something.

Spring Institute - Politics in the Treatment Room: How Clinicians Approach and Navigate the Taboo
Presented by Milagros Saxon, PhD
- 6 Ethics Continuing Education Credits
About the Webinar
In this workshop, we will explore the taboo subject of politics in the treatment room. Often, we are asked to be a blank slate welcoming anything our patients bring into the room and relationship. What can clinicians do when faced with patients who express similar, different, or even painful discriminatory views? Unfortunately, training programs and institutions do not give enough guidance on how to effectively navigate this subject, leaving the clinician at a loss on how to not only work with the countertransference, but how the tension can lead to awareness and healing for the patient. Together, we will explore how political ideology can be seen as an outward expression of our patient’s internal world, and how we can create a framework for inviting the potentially polarizing topic into the room and transform it into valuable psychological growth. In order to do this, we will invite depth/analytic psychology, myth, and even the biopsychology of political beliefs and behaviors to inform just how politics can be used to understand our patients fears, needs, and desires. We will explore how to invite hot topics such as elections, Black Lives Matter vs All Lives Matter, vaccines vs antivaxx beliefs, civil rights and every topic in between in a safe and psychologically productive ways.
