Dateline: Chicago, Illinois
December 7, 2009

I’ve just finished packing my bags and am heading for the airport.  Tomorrow the “Evolution of Psychotherapy” begins.  Nearly 25 years after volunteering at the first “Evolution” conference, I’m back a second time to present.  Tomorrow, I’ll be talking about “Achieving Clinical Excellence.”  On the days that follow, I’m on panels with my friend Don Meichenbaum, as well as David Barlow, Marsha Linnehan, and others.  I’m really looking forward to the four days in Anaheim.

Of everything going on in sunny southern California, I have to say that I’m most excited about the launch of the International Center for Clinical Excellence.  We have a booth (#128) in the exhibitor hall where folks can stop by, talk, and peruse our new website.  As promised, it is a true web 2.0 experience, enabling clinicians researchers. and educators around the world to connect, share, and learn from each other.

We’ll be streaming video to facebook and twitter. Stay tuned to my blog and twitter accounts as well for updates, videos, and pictures from the conference.
