Hi, Everyone - Yes, it is frustrating how prescriptive and pedantic the new CPD requirements appear to be. It's also paticularly frustrating for those of us who had already completed the number of hours required for the 2009-2011 clinical college cycle and now have to start over. FYI, the American Psychological Association has a number of "home study" CPD offerings which I believe would fit the PBA's "active" requirements. Go to the www.apa.org and see the CE listings. There are lists of specific books/articles one can read (usually APA published ones) and you can purchase an on-line exam (I know, more money). If you pass by 70% you get a printable CE certificate. When I was keeping my U.S. registration active I had to use the APA home study options as they wouldn't recognise Australian-based offerings (I think in part b/c they haven't tended to offer an evaluative component). For example, one can read Falendar and Schafranske's book on clinical supervision, take the exam and get 10 hours of CPD credit. The exams are a bit tricky, however, so you do have to pay attention ;-) Cheers, Michelle --------------------------------- Dr. Michelle Holdsworth Clinical Psychologist Psychotherapy, Consultation and Supervision Suite 4, Level 1 Royal Arcade 401-407 New South Head Road Double Bay, NSW 2028 Ph: 0430 656 404 Fax: 02 9328-4600 Web: www.DrMichelleHoldsworth.com IMPORTANT: Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed, as e-mail is not a secure medium.
