I've been on vacation (with my copy of "In Session" - which I didn't "need" to use!), but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your thoughtful responses to our questions. I hope that you will stop in from time to time, your insight is very helpful!
We'll all be looking forward to your next book on terminations... (I can wish, can't I?)

I don't know if I can be there in person, but I'd be keen to contribute to any preliminary work!

Perhaps those who cannot attend could contribute to a poster session, and those who can could present?

How about that? A "workshop" like this?

If people who couldn't be there wanted to contribute something in writing, maybe we could work that in somehow?

I'll make that date on my calendar. It may conflict with a trade show but I think it may work out.
Does this mean we'll be the topic of a workshop and we have to present something?

Thanks to everyone who's volunteered to help with this!

I know this is past the submission deadline, and I don't know if I could be there. Or for that matter that I wouldn't hide under the table while having a major social anxiety attack, but I could write something and pass it to somebody to read.
In other words if you submitted the presentation and it is accepted, I will try to participate in whatever way I can.

Hi people
I was just curious about this presentation thing. Would this be like a "members only" type of thing? Or can people come and watch?
I don't know anything about psychology or therapy or anything like that, so I wouldn't be able to contribute any good ideas...plus it would be absolutely terrifying to interact with strangers in a small group.
If I can't come and just watch, can someone fill me in on the details?

not sure how it works... but if you aren't presenting there might be an attendance fee.

I'm afraid I don't at all understand what you're talking about.
Could you explain it in full sentences maybe?
I hope to be at the second Babble party, if I manage to make a financial recovery.

I'd be keen to help with any preparatory work, if that would be useful.

Any word on what day of the week this may be on? I have my doubts as to whether I'd be useful (age, haven't been here too long, etc.), but should I be wrong, I'd be interested in helping out somehow, so long as my exam schedule doesn't end up interfering.

I'm not sure if financially I'll be in a place to go or not.
But wouldn't our real names have to be known?
For at least some of us, mightn't that be a problem?

I won't be able to do it. I am in the middle of lot of moving and resettling.
If there is anything that we can post here in babble which will be of use, I can do that.

> If you plan to distribute handout materials at your workshop, they must be approved in advance by the Subcommittee on Workshops. You need to submit a copy of the material ... by February 4, 2006.
And regarding confidentiality:

For the purpose of news reporting, members of the media who have been credentialed by the APA Press Room may audio/videotape and/or take notes during any or all of these presentations except when patient confidentiality might be compromised or a presenter specifically requests no audio/videotaping by the press be permitted.
Should I request no taping by the press? No note-taking, even?

You need to submit a copy of the material ... by February 4, 2006.I guess we’d better get cracking then. Have you had any thoughts about structure? What sort of material might we distribute in handouts? My first idea is that it might be good to have (at the very least) a handout of brief quotes from Babble users… but I may come up with more elaborate ideas after I’ve thought about it for a while. I’m sure other people have ideas… I’m very keen on handouts at conferences because I think it gives participants something to focus their initial responses on.

> Should I request no taping by the press? No note-taking, even?Well, I won’t be there so maybe my opinion doesn’t matter. But I think if the press are going to be at the conference, then perhaps this session might be newsworthy (because it involves interaction between professionals and clients). I think it could work to our advantage if we clients want to use the session to get the attention of professionals. So I would say it might be a good idea so say no taping, but to allow note-taking, unless all the Babblers who will be present (a) don’t mind being taped; or (b) prefer not to allow note-taking.
