Announcing SCP’s 2009 “Conference-within-a-Conference”
Join others interested in Christian psychology at the upcoming 2009 AACC World Conference in Nashville, TN. The SCP will hold its first “Conference-within-a Conference” during the AACC World Conference.
Events will begin on Wednesday, Sept 16, the preconference workshop day, with an SCP preconference workshop on perfectionism. In the morning session, Richard Winters will give an overview of his work on perfectionism, and in the afternoon, he will be joined by three others-psychologist Eric Johnson, local pastor Scotty Smith, and theologian Taylor Worley.
During the AACC World Conference, the Society has its own track, where we will be hearing from the following speakers:
- Bryan Maier “The God of All Comfort & Vengeance: A Role for the Imprecatory Psalms in Forgiveness Counseling”
- Eric Johnson: “The Trinity as the Model for Human Life”
- Philip Jamieson: “The True Author: Redeeming Narrative Therapy”
- David Jenkins: “Religious Affections: Toward a Christian Psychology of Emotion”
- Mike McGuire: “Rethinking Emotions in Christian Counseling”
- Valerie Murphy: “Expanding Emotional Fluency from a Christian Psychology Perspective”
- Lewis Campbell “Doing Mental Health in Babylon”
And on Friday evening, the SCP will have a time of celebration and fellowship, where we will also discuss the latest happenings in the Society and Christian psychology, and we will hear from noted Christian philosopher Jim Spiegel about the virtues and their relation to the Christian life.
Sign up now for our preconference workshops and come to all the SCP track sessions you can, and join us for our celebration on Friday evening. We want to get to know you and benefit from your participation!
