Save the Date: Reflections on Our Past, Present, and Future

In honor of the 25th anniversary of the Journal of Infant, Child, & Adolescent Psychotherapy, save the date for Reflections on Our Past, Present, and Future. 

Where were we, where are we, and where do we need to go?

Twenty-five years ago, JICAP set out an inclusive mission to attend to the many influences contributing to a child’s mental health and wellbeing. As its psychoanalytic frame has expanded to incorporate new developments, the Journal has given voice to those ideas and extended its international reach.

There is currently a crisis in child/adolescent mental health: increased rates of anxiety and depression in young people and a scarcity of resources in cultures riddled with childism.

This conference will create a space with four round table discussions for the purposes of cross-generational and cross-disciplinary dialogue. The open exchanges will play across the specific areas of history, training, research, and clinical processes to share advances and generate new thinking to meet the challenges of the moment.

Our featured speakers will be originators of JICAP who have advanced the field: Kirkland Vaughans, Susan Warshaw, and Stephen Seligman as well as Kenneth Barish, Jordan Bate, Beatrice Beebe, Emily Bosk, Francine Conway, Marsha Levy-Warren, Kevin Meehan, Larry Rosenberg, Ionas Sapountzis, Laurel Silber, Arietta Slade, Michael Tate, and Steve Tuber.

The conference will be in-person and recorded.

Co-sponsored by JICAP Foundation and Journal, and Rutgers University-New Brunswick’s ScarletWell Initiative and The Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology.

CE credits will be available. More details to follow.
