2019 Conference
Our hope is that the conversations that take place in the context of our conferences, publications, and various programming can serve to embarrass some of the language and conceptual calcification endemic to many academic and clinical disciplines. Furthermore, our desire is to condition our sensibilities under the fire of an ethical imperative, grounded in the individualized and deeply textured relational encounter.
The conference will be held from October 4th- 6th, 2019 at
Boston College, Chestnut Hill MA.

2019 CEU Information
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) Available
A maximum of 21 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for Psychologists, Social Workers and Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHC) are available over the 3 days of the conference, depending on which sessions are attended. This is not counting the pre-conference workshop. Each plenary and invited address during the conference is eligible for 1.5 CEUs. It is the participant’s responsibility to make sure that the program in which they are participating is CEU eligible (this is clearly marked on the conference program).
It is the responsibility of each conference participant to comply with the following instructions in order to receive CEUs:
-
The participant must be present for the entirety of the 1.5-hour address for which they are seeking CEUs.
-
The participant must acquire an evaluation form during the first 10 minutes of the address. These will be available at the respective entrances to the rooms within which the address is taking place. Please note: evaluation forms will not be provided later, as their distribution time verifies your entry time.
-
The participant must collect an attendance verification sticker at the conclusion of the session. These will be available at the respective entrances to the sessions within which the address is taking place. Please note: Stickers will not be provided later, as their distribution time verifies your exit time.
-
For each 1.5-hour CEU eligible program, the participant must complete the evaluation, affix the attendance verification sticker at the bottom of the evaluation form, and turn it in at the registration table.
-
The participant must complete a yellow CEU request form that is available at the registration/check-in table. This form and all individual CEU evaluation forms should be turned in together to the main registration tables before leaving the conference.
Each participant will receive a signed CEU certificate via email in the weeks following the conference. There is no additional cost for CEUs beyond the conference registration.
