The Sixth Annual Joint AAPC/CPSP Fall Conference to be held November 2-3, 2007
The Sixth Annual Joint American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC) and the College Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy (CPSP) Fall Conference will be held November 2-3, 2007 at the Iliff School of Theology located in Denver, Colorado.
This Conference is a significant continued development of the growing cooperative relationship between CPSP and AAPC communities in this region.
Dr. Ronald Richardson will be the Keynote Speaker. Dr Richardson is the former Executive Director and Director of Training of the North Shore Counseling Centre. He is a Diplomate in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors, the author of many books on family systems theory, and a retired pastor living in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
His most recent book is Becoming a Healthier Pastor: Family Systems Theory and the Pastor’s Own Family. This is a follow-up to his earlier book, Creating a Healthier Church: Family Systems Theory, Leadership, and Congregational Life (Creative Pastoral Care and Counseling Series).
Herb Anderson, at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago says this about Dr. Richardson’s approach to understanding congregational life:
Every congregation that has struggled to maintain a balance between individuality and togetherness, closeness and distance, unity and difference, and every leader who has determined to stay out of the emotional muddles of congregational life will find this helpful.
CPSP President Elect, Francine Angel, of Presbyterian Medical Center, NYC will be in attendance at this conference for dialogue with the CPSP membership and participation in part of the program.
In addition to those who are members of the CPSP and AAPC communities, parish pastors and lay leaders, mental health therapists and coaches, and clinical chaplains are encouraged to attend this informative event.
