The Mississippi Psychological Assocation will host their 61st Annual Convention in Biloxi next week, September 8th through 10th. The theme is “Transcendent Psychology- Everywhere You Look. In Everything We Do.”
This year’s presenters include Kim Gratz, Ph.D. (“Targeting Emotion Regulation: Treatment Applications and Research Support”), Michael Roberts, Ph.D. (“Civil Commitment Workshop & Exam”), Stephen Behnke, J.D., Ph.D. (“Ethics and Ethical Decision making for Psychologists: A vignette-based approach”), and David Ballard, Psy.D., MBA (“Bringing Psychology to the People Through Professionally Appropriate Marketing and Communication”).
Louisiana psychologist Dr. Beverly Stubblefield will present some of her research from the Equestrian Therapy Center in a poster session at the convention on September 9th, titled “Are Horses or Cats Better Therapists?” She told the Times that the results are inconclusive at this point in her studies. However she said, “Cats are good therapists but poor research subjects!”
