Internship Opportunity

APPIC MATCH NEWS --- Many applicants struggle with the question of how many internship applications to submit in order to maximize their chances of being matched. Due to concerns about "Supply and Demand" issues, some applicants might assume that sending out a greater number of applications means a greater likelihood of being matched.

But does a "more is better" approach really work? Recent APPIC surveys of internship applicants have examined the relationship between the number of applications submitted and the chances of being successfully matched. Below are the combined results for applicants who participated in the last four APPIC Matches:

No. of Applications 2005-2008 Submitted Match Rate

1 - 5 66 % 6 - 10 76 % 11 - 15 83 % 16 - 20 83 % 21 or more 84 %

To interpret the above table: 66% of applicants who submitted between one and five applications were matched, 76% of applicants who submitted between six and ten applications were matched, and so on. These data should be interpreted cautiously, as other unknown variables may account for these differences.

Applicants from the 2008 Match who responded to the survey reported submitting a mean of 13.9 applications (SD = 5.7, median = 14, mode = 15) and receiving an average of 6.4 interviews (SD = 3.8, median = 6, mode = 5).

As can be seen from the above table, applying to five sites or less may considerably reduce the chances that one will be successfully matched. Applicants who have significant geographic limitations on their internship search may be among those who are most affected, since this often limits the number of sites available to them.

However, the "more is better" philosophy may have its limitations. According to this data, there does not appear to be much benefit in applying to more than 11-15 sites.

NOTE: Applying exclusively to highly-competitive sites can reduce the likelihood of being matched, regardless of the number of sites to which you apply. Information about the number of applications received in previous years by APPIC-member programs appears in the APPIC Directory Online.

More results from these applicant surveys may be found at www.appic.org (click on "About the Match," then on "Match Statistics").

We hope that this information will be helpful to applicants.

______DIVISION 17

Dear Student Member of APA Division 17:

Division 17, the Society of Counseling Psychology (SCP), of the American Psychological Association (APA) brings together psychologists, students, and professional affiliates from the U.S. and other countries who are dedicated to promoting education and training, scientific investigation, practice, and diversity and public interest in professional psychology. To mentor students who aspire to be future leaders in the profession, SCP adopted a policy to include student representation on Division 17 committees.

As Co-Chairs of Division 17's 2009 APA Convention Program Committee, we wish to invite you to be a Student Reviewer of the Program Committee. As a Student Reviewer, you will review proposals (e.g., posters, symposia) submitted to Division 17's program at the annual APA convention. We greatly value your contributions as we believe your knowledge and expertise will assist us to determine proposals to be included in the convention program. As such, your role provides you an opportunity to give a voice in the types of presentations to be showcased at the conference.

In collaboration with the Student Affiliates of Seventeen (SAS), we will select 20 Student Reviewers to join the other Professional Program Committee Members each year. Each selected Student Reviewer will serve a two- year term (e.g., 2008-2010). Immediately after the submission deadline in early December, Program Co-Chairs will compile and disseminate proposals to reviewers. Each Student Reviewer will review approximately 7 to 8 proposals within a 3-week timeline. You will receive proposals by mid-December, and you are expected to return your reviews by early January. Typically each proposal is reviewed by a team of 3 Professional Reviewers (e.g., faculty volunteers). Student Reviewer will be the 4^th member of the team, and will be mentored by the other Professional Reviewers on your team.

Listed below are some guidelines for the review process. More instructions will be provided later:

1. Each proposal is identified by a code consisting of letters and a number (e.g., sym0300.doc; ind75322). Symposium proposals begin with "sym," and poster proposals begin with "ind." Roundtables, Workshops, Discussion, Conversation Hours, etc. are all coded as "sym." Although coded as "sym" some of these latter proposals will state its intention. If so, please take note during your review. If they do not, this is okay.

2. Unless you think that your particular set of proposals is atypical, you should recommend 40%-50% of your proposals be accepted.

3. If you have reservations about an otherwise acceptable proposal, please be sure to state what they are. For example, you might be concerned that there are too many presentations in a particular symposium.

4. Provide specific narrative feedback on each proposal, regardless of your recommendation. Your narrative feedback should be about one paragraph long. Your narrative feedback should also be critical, supportive, and educational. Please do not use any language which might indicate your decision regarding the proposal itself.

5. Your narrative feedback comments will be sent to the author(s).

6. If the data for a research presentation have not yet been collected, your evaluation should be based on (a) how well the study is designed, (b) the appropriateness of the proposed analyses, (c) the importance of anticipated findings, and (d) the likelihood that the study will be completed in time.

We hope this helps you understand your role as a Student Reviewer. If you are interested, please complete the brief questionnaire below. *Please return the survey to us no later than October 27, 2008, by 8:00pm EST.* If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. Recruiting Student Reviewer for Program Committee is a part of Division 17's effort to mentor students. As such, we encourage you to join SAS as a member: http://www.und.nodak.edu/org/div17sas/Membership/membership_info.html THANK YOU in advance for your interest.

As a part of the National Multicultural Conference and Summit's (NMCS) commitment to the city of New Orleans and in partnership with the New Orleans Behavioral Health Action Network, NMCS will be offering a half day CEU workshop for New Orleans area mental health providers either on January 14 in the afternoon or January 17 in the late morning to early afternoon. As you know, the community has not fully recovered from the devastation of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and recently revisited the trauma of evacuation with Hurricane Ike and Gustav. Within this context, the topics for possible workshops identified by the community include areas such as burnout, coping with workplace stress, discouragement, multicultural competence in uncertain times. The specific topics will be refined in collaboration with the community over the next two months. We are calling for volunteers with expertise in the above areas who would be willing to present or co-present workshops on these topics for the local providers. Please note that this is a volunteer service being offered to the community. If you are interested, please contact Rebecca Toporek, [email protected] and indicate the topic area you have expertise in and would like to present by November 20, 2008.

Guest editors: Lisa Goodman, Ph.D., Boston College and Victoria Banyard, Ph.D., University of New Hampshire

We invite submissions for consideration for a special section of the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry.

This special section explores transformative practices/programs/ideas for supporting low-income individuals and families struggling simultaneously with poverty and emotional distress. Specifically, we are seeking manuscripts that describe:

1. evaluations of innovative practices and programs designed to support low-income individuals and families; 2. empirical explorations of poverty's impact, with clear implications for transforming programs and practices; or 3. empirical explorations of how poverty intersects with other aspects of social context to shape peoples' life experience and mental health, again with clear implications for transforming programs and practices.

We are particularly interested in research that challenges traditional conceptualizations of intervention and that addresses the unique circumstances of low-income individuals and families struggling with mental health issues. Example populations include but are not limited to single mothers, interpersonal violence survivors, or immigrants/refugees.

Manuscripts must be submitted no later than February 15, 2009. Manuscripts should follow guidelines for authors for the journal: http://www.apa.org/journals/authors/ . Please send manuscripts to: Victoria Banyard, Ph.D. at [email protected]

RESEARCH PARTICIPATION

1.) Dear Participant,

My name is Jackie Moreno and I am a doctoral student in the Counseling Psychology program at the University of Denver. I am interested in studying group supervision, particularly the manner in which multicultural events occur. A multicultural event is a critical event that inferred a meaningful emotional or behavioral interpersonal experience impacting group satisfaction. This study has been designed with the objective to determine, with your help, the effective practices of discussing multicultural issues in group supervision, from the perspectives of ethnically diverse individuals. Research looking at group supervision has increased in the past decade, yet there is very little information regarding how multicultural issues are discussed. Even less is information regarding ethnically diverse individuals involved in group supervision. Many graduate students are involved in group supervision as part of their training. As minority participation in graduate programs increases, t here is an amplified need to understand multicultural group supervision.

Participation in this anonymous questionnaire is optional. There is no penalty or negative consequence if you choose not to complete the questionnaires. However, if you do choose to participate, your responses will help training directors and group supervision leaders to better understand the process of discussing multicultural issues in group and working with ethnic minority supervisees within group supervision.

It will take you approximately thirty minutes to one hour to fill out all questionnaires. At the completion of the last questionnaire, you will be asked to volunteer to participate in a confidential telephone interview. Again, your participation in this telephone interview is strictly voluntary and you will not be penalized for not volunteering. The information gathered from these telephone interviews will be used to design a theoretical model for group leaders to use in discussing multicultural issues in group supervision of practicum/internship students.

The individuals that will have access to my raw data include myself, the chair of my dissertation committee, Dr. Maria Riva, and a graduate student assistant. This study was approved by the University of Denver's Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human Subjects in Research on November 12, 2007 (Jacqueline Moreno 2007-0340). The URL address to the survey is: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx? sm=GhWzO3jpec_2f_2fuZN2rBJxkw_3d_3d

4.) Dear SAW or SERD member:

I am looking for advanced/experienced counselors who identify as feminist therapists, feminist multicultural therapists, or womanist therapists. My study involves interviewing clients of such therapists to add the client's perspective to the literature on what works and what does not. Because most clients don't know the theoretical orientation of their therapist, my committee and I decided that recruiting through self-identified therapists would be best. Therefore, if you do the following with clients, please respond to this e-mail and all I will ask of you is to pass out my fliers to qualifying clients: Are empowerment-focused Engage in political/power analysis of oppression and privilege based on intersecting identities and positioning in society View symptoms as coping (e.g., substance abuse as self-medication; eating disorder as an expression of control) Avoid pathologizing clients (may avoid diagnosing clients, if possible) Use an explicit examination of therapist and client identity similarities and differences as they relate to world views and/or to the counseling relationship Engage in power-sharing and collaboration with client Work to increase self-awareness about own identities, biases about others with similarities and differences, and own world view Is aware of common issues pertaining to particular cultural groups and works to increase own awareness Engage in activism and advocacy and encourages the same in clients if appropriate to the client's goals

Please ask if you need clarification or have questions. If you are interested in assisting with this research, please contact me by e-mail [email protected] or phone 800-399- 0712, x0 and I will send you instructions and fliers.

Thank you in advance! Tamara M. Abousleman, M.S. Educational Psychology University of Utah

This study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board of the University of Utah.
