Socially Responsible Neuropsychology:
What is it, Where has it been, and Where does it go from now?

On-Demand Course
Based on a webinar developed by
CPA’s Division of Neuropsychology (Division VIII)

Course Description:

The Socially Responsibility Neuropsychology (SRN), an ethical framework, was born in 2014 as a call to action for the field to shift from the individual to the programmatic or systemic response to attend to the underserved cultural communities by employing an equitable lens. Through the years, and prior to the societal awakenings brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and the social unrest in 2020, this framework was operationalized through training guidelines and approaches to clinical cases by integrating principles of neuroscience and societal factors that impact health equity (literacy, bilingualism, poor nutrition, access to care, etc). Most recently, the 2022 Minnesota Neuropsychology Conference announced its efforts to add advocacy as a competency benchmark, as originally suggested by the SRN model. However, the challenge persists on how to integrate principles and develop formalized training guidelines of advocacy into the clinical work with underserved cultural communities without further increasing the already overburdened underrepresented providers who serve this patient population. Much like the initial SRN call, this talk will present the Advocacy Model of Equitable Decision-Making in Neuropsychology as a competency specific guideline that calls on all our neuropsychology colleagues to engage as agents of change and promotes actionable steps to integrate advocacy within clinical assessments with the aim of promoting health equity.

Level:

Intermediate

After attending this On-Demand Course, attendees will be able to:

• Identify the Three Pillars of the SRN model.
• State the main goal and five components of the Advocacy Model of Equitable Decision-Making in Neuropsychology.
• Describe one application of the Advocacy Model of Equitable Decision-Making in Neuropsychology in a clinical neuropsychological assessment.

Suicide is the most common psychological emergency that therapists will encounter, and it is on the rise. For mental health professionals with an active clinical practice, suicide is an occupational hazard that can be both emotionally and practically devastating. Recent research has identified suicide-specific therapies that are effective in treating both suicidal ideation and behavior. Most therapists are not aware of them nor have they been trained in them, so most suicidal clients do not receive these potentially lifesaving treatments. This online course with suicidologist Dr. Lisa Firestone will provide an invaluable opportunity for therapists to become familiar with risk assessment and effective crisis interventions, as well as empirically validated, evidence-based treatments for suicide that are fast becoming the standard of care.

AFTER THIS WORKSHOP YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:

• Identify the most important techniques/tools for assessing suicidal risk
• Implement effective state-of-the-art crisis interventions for suicidal patients that will allow clinicians to practice to the standard of care
• Recognize innovative and effective suicide therapies that will allow clinicians to be more effective with suicidal clients
• Find effective coping strategies for the emotional impact of working with clients who attempt suicide and actually die by suicide

Neuropsychological Assessment of Native Americans:
Perspectives, Skills, and Case Applications

On-Demand Course
Based on a webinar developed by
CPA’s Division of Neuropsychology (Division VIII)

Course Description:

Native Americans are a very diverse population that also share many common characteristics. Dimensions of diversity include tribal history; intergenerational traumas; religions; languages; current tribal legal, healthcare, and educational systems; inter-tribal relationships; and patterns of acculturation and enculturation. Successful clinical encounters depend upon the neuropsychologist being knowledgeable about both the common and the specific characteristics of their local populations and their particular client. In this presentation, we will discuss how clinicians can learn about their local populations and about their specific clients. We will discuss clinical skills in establishing rapport and developing culturally appropriate recommendations. We will illustrate these principles through a case study that the authors collaborated on. This was a criminal forensic evaluation of a Cherokee youth accused of murder.

Level:

Intermediate

After attending this On-Demand Course, attendees will be able to:

• Identify at least five cultural dimensions that have influence on Native Americans’ neuropsychological functioning.
• Describe at least three strategies for learning about local Native American tribes.
• Identify at least five dimensions of a Native American’s individual identity that are pertinent to understanding their neuropsychological functioning.
• Identify at least five tribal institutions that are distinctive from corresponding non-tribal institutions and that are pertinent to neuropsychological community reintegration.

About the Presenter:

Diana Hereld, PsyD, is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Clinical Neuropsychology at the UCLA Semel Institute. She was born in Suquamish, Washington and is a member of Cherokee Nation. Her research is often centered around music interventions for trauma, and she holds clinical interests in cultural neuropsychology, particularly North American Native populations.

Sequence XVI:
Risk, Relationship, and Responsibility:
Ethics and Risk Management in the Web of Modern Practice
Live Webinar via Zoom

Saturday, June 27, 2026
9:00 am - 4:00 pm (PT)

Presented by: Daniel O. Taube, JD, PhD

Workshop Description:

Psychological practice today unfolds within an increasingly complex and interconnected landscape—one that places unprecedented demands on both new and experienced clinicians. Expanding scopes of practice, rapidly evolving technologies, interjurisdictional care, and continued ethical and regulatory scrutiny have fundamentally reshaped what it means to practice responsibly. The challenge goes beyond understanding ethical principles to applying them skillfully, compassionately, and coherently across overlapping roles, systems, and expectations where decisions in one area often ripple outward into others.

This workshop offers an integrated, systems-informed framework for navigating complexity with clarity and confidence, supporting thoughtful, care-driven decision-making that protects clients, preserves trust, and sustains clinicians over time.

Three interconnected dimensions of contemporary practice will be explored. Participants will examine the relational foundations of ethical work, including informed consent as an ongoing process and the management of multiple relationships and boundary complexities that arise when professional roles and contexts intersect. The focus then turns to the digital and interjurisdictional landscape, addressing ethical responsibilities related to artificial intelligence (AI), digital privacy, and practicing across regions and regulatory contexts—where actions in one setting can have implications far beyond it. The workshop concludes with the legal and regulatory dimensions of modern practice, including documentation, multi-state practice considerations, and responding skillfully to licensing board complaints as professional reach and responsibility expand.

Throughout, the emphasis is on helping clinicians make integrated, ethical, and defensible decisions in a complex environment without becoming reactive, overly cautious, or disconnected from care. Participants will leave with practical strategies, renewed clarity, and a steadier sense of how to strengthen their professional structures and practice ethically, responsibly, and sustainably within today’s evolving landscape.

Level:

Intermediate

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe at least four methods to improve ethical and risk management decision-making.
2. Identify three elements of a fully informed consent process.
3. Delineate at least three steps in determining whether a boundary crossing is more likely to be a harmful violation.
4. Define four aspects of AI that should be evaluated before its adoption for professional practice.
5. List at least three ethical and risk management aspects of interjurisdictional practice.
6. Describe three central themes in documentation.
7. Identify three methods of addressing licensing board complaints.

Taube, JD, PhD earned his JD from Villanova University in 1985 and his PhD in clinical psychology from Hahnemann University in 1987, as a member of the Hahnemann/Villanova Joint Psychology and Law Graduate Program.
