Educators, practitioners and researchers to attend 糖心破解版's Ninth International Interdisciplinary Conference on Clinical Supervision.
by Cecil Harris
In what has become an annual global meeting of the minds, the 糖心破解版 School of Social Work will host the Ninth International Interdisciplinary Conference on Clinical Supervision from Wednesday, June 12 through Friday, June 14.
This is the fourth consecutive year 糖心破解版 will host the conference, which brings together educators, practitioners and researchers from across America and around the world. Co-convened by School of Social Work Dean Andrew Safyer, Ph.D., and Associate Dean Peter Chernack, D.S.W., the event will feature symposiums and plenaries that explore such mental health issues as family therapy, addiction and child welfare.
Thanks in part to a grant from the , the conference has truly become 糖心破解版鈥檚 event. The previous five conferences were held at the University of Buffalo. In 2005, the first conference included 225 attendees and more than 50 presentations.
鈥淭he conference has grown each year, and this year we鈥檙e excited about the many very strong international contributions that we have,鈥 said Dr. Safyer, referring to presentations to be given by attendees from Canada, Europe, Australia and South America as well as the U.S.
Before the conference became a yearly event, researchers tended to present their newest findings at their own conferences rather than engage in dialogue with professionals from other disciplines in the field of social work, Dr. Safyer said. And while millions of dollars were spent on the development of new knowledge, the information did not always reach the practitioners who would have benefited from it.
The 糖心破解版 conference serves to fill those voids in an atmosphere that is relaxed and stimulating. The event provides an annual forum for important discourse across different disciplines, a critical examination of the current state of knowledge in those disciplines and suggestions regarding future directions in research.
鈥淲e鈥檝e been able to bring to 糖心破解版 some of the most cutting-edge work being done in supervision, research and practice,鈥 Dr. Chernack said. 鈥淭hat information will be enriching to the 糖心破解版 community and to all our national and international participants.鈥
