The editors for the revision of the Professional Practice of Psychology in Aotearoa New Zealand Book are making good progress. Thank you to all of you who gave your views on the revised version. The editors have agreed on the following vision for the book.This book will promote safe and ethical practice of psychology in Aotearoa/New Zealand with reference to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the Code of Ethics. The content will be deliberately organic and home grown, designed to support psychology as it is practised locally. It will have a broad orientation on frameworks, relationships and roles, reflecting the evolving nature of psychology. It will include specific competencies for working as a psychologist within the unique cultural context of Aotearoa/New Zealand. The book will be useful for psychologists from a wide range of specialities, as well as students, new immigrants and consumers.The process of contacting authors has begun. This process will take some time but we will be in touch. In the meantime if you have any queries regarding the revision process please contact Pamela Hyde on [email protected]

Update on the Revising of the Professional Practice of Psychology Book
Farewell to Executive Officer Debra Ridgway
Farewell and a big thank you to Debra Ridgway who left the Society on Friday 4th April. Debra joined the Society in 2009 as Executive Officer. During this time she has very ably managed this role as well as studying for a law degree which she has now completed. Deb’s wide ranging skills in a number of areas have been a huge asset to the Society and we are going to miss these skills as well as her generous and warm spirit and her can-do approach. Deb is now beginning a Masters degree in Law. On behalf of
us all Deb good wishes for your future endeavours and adventures.

A warm welcome to Vicki Hume who joined the Society as our new Executive Officer in March. Vicki has a background in management in the education sector and has held positions on various Boards and Steering Committees. Vicki was the College Manager
of the Australian College of Interior Décor for 3 years and prior to that the Director of an early Childhood Centre in Sydney for 5 years. Vicki moved to New Zealand with her family in 2005 and enjoys living in Wellington. She is also a volunteer for Ronald McDonald House Wellington. Vicki is based in National Office in Wellington along with Executive Director, Pamela Hyde, Professional Development Coordinator, Heike Albrecht and Membership Administrator Donna Macdonald.
Debra’s Farewell MessageI would like to thank all the members for their support of my work at the Society and in my study. I am now graduating with a Law degree and found that a lot of what I have learnt at the Society has influenced how I will practice law. I have learnt so much about psychology in my time here, more inadvertently than by design. During my six years with the Society I have had the great privilege of meeting many of you and the Executive and National Office staff have been wonderful to work with behind the scenes. I cannot thank you all enough and hope that the excellent work done by the Society continues to go from strength to strength. I would like to wish you and the Society every success for the future.
A warm welcome to Vicki Hume

Speed-Dating EventWith more than 30 attendees the speed-dating event on 27 March was a roaring success. It involved hearing from the speakers below for ten minutes with some brief time for questions followed by an activity which involved talking to the people next to you about an issue related to the speaker who had just presented.Dr Paul Jose reminded us that happiness is not, should not and cannot be a continual state. Rather it is to be savored.Lynley Sinclair provided a conceptual framework for looking at the roles and contributions of industrial psychologists to organisations, identified the roles in which she has worked and distinguished between an I/O psychologist and a human resources management practitioner. Ben Sedley highlighted the positive changes his clients have experienced through the use of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). He convenes the Wellington ACT group that meets monthly.Dr Aaron Jarden spoke about the relatively new area of positive psychology. He noted it is being used in schools,

Virginia Westerberg has been appointed as the student representative on the Executive replacing Jessica McIvor who is now doing her internship. Virginia introduces herself below.Hi, my name is Virginia Westerberg and I am currently doing my Master’s Thesis at Massey and at
the Palmerston North Hospital. It is called “The role of traumatic injury on early dementia and death rates in New Zealand”. As you may have guessed my main area of interest in neuropsychology (most of my publications are about that...), but also health psychology and psychometric test development (like the Integrated Wellbeing Inventory [IWI]©). My true vocation is teaching and I have been involved in this recently at Massey, for undergrads. When my nose is not buried in books and notes, I like to spend my time with my husband and our kitty cat at home. I also enjoy horse riding, playing squash, and doing some pilates-yoga. I look forward to working together with the NZPsS to improve the professional outcomes of psychology students.

NZPsS 2014 Conference
Introducing the conference workshops
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ALL NZPsS MEMBERS WHO REGISTER FOR THE FULL CONFERENCE CAN ATTEND
A PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP FOR FREE
Full-dayworkshopsCollaborative-Dialogue: Improving the Success of Therapy through Re-thinking the Therapist’s Role and the Therapy Process Dr.HarleneAnderson is an international leader in the development of postmodern collaborative-dialogic practices, and applies her approach to therapy, organization development, education, research, coaching and consultation. Harlene is a founder and board member of the Houston Galveston Institute, the Taos Institute and AccessSuccess International. She is an Advisor for the Taos Institute-Tilburg University Doctoral Program, and an Associate of the Silver Fox Advisors.
In this workshop participants will learn the underlying assumptions and applications of the Collaborative-Dialogue therapy approach. Specific attention will be to the therapist’s “philosophical stance”: how the therapist thinks, acts and relates with the other person(s). Collaborative-Dialogue therapy offers both an alternative approach to psychotherapy practice and valuable tips to enhance the opportunity for therapy to be successful. Collaborative-Dialogue therapy is used with individuals, couples, families and groups, and across cultures and in a variety of practice contexts. There will be ample time for questions, discussion and a demonstration/consultation of collaborative-dialogue. About Collaborative-Dialogue: A therapy approach that is among those therapies referred to as dialogue, conversational, narrative, postmodern and social construction. As similar among these therapies, in Collaborative-Dialogue the therapist shifts them from a hierarchical expert position to one of mutual inquirer and encourages a natural rather than pre-designed transformational process. The therapy system is considered a conversational partnership that relies on the expertise that client and therapist bring, and therefore, the system becomes less of a hierarchical top-down expertise system: all participants, therapist and client, contribute to the construction and sustainability of the therapy outcome. The therapy process helps the client access, develop and use their local knowledge, expertise

and resources to produce outcomes fitting to the uniqueness of each client and their novel circumstances. Violence within institutionsMichaelDaffern is a clinical psychologist by training. He has worked in mainstream adult psychiatry, forensic mental health and correctional settings. Presently, he is Professor in Clinical Forensic Psychology with the Centre for Forensic Behavioural Science at Swinburne University of Technology. He is also Principal Consultant Psychologist with the Victorian Institute of Forensic Mental Health (Forensicare). His research concerns personality disorder and the assessment and treatment of violent offenders and offender rehabilitation more generally. Aggression and violence are common in mental health units; they can have a significant negative impact on the health and wellbeing of those who are victimised and those who witness aggression. Aggression and violence affect the milieu and treatment regime and ultimately the quality of care provided. In this workshop participants will be invited to explore the various factors contributing to violence and become familiar with assessment methods and intervention strategies. The relevance of aggressive behaviour within the unit to violence in the community will be considered. In this regard, a case formulation based approach to assessment - the Offence Paralleling Behaviour (OPB) framework, will be introduced. OPB formulations look systematically at the relationship between current day-to-day functioning within secure settings and the person’s behavior in other contexts, with a view to using the current presentation to inform risk assessment and intervention.
Resilience under pressurePresented by GaynorParkinandFionaHowardGaynor has worked for 2 decades as a clinical psychologist in New Zealand and the UK. Over the last decade Gaynor has held a teaching role in the Clinical Psychology Training programme at the Victoria University of Wellington. Gaynor currently combines her university
teaching with her role as Managing Director at Umbrella Health Ltd.Fiona is a Senior Tutor in the Doctoral Programme of Clinical Psychology at the University of Auckland. She also works in part-time private practice. Fiona’s clinical experience and interests lie in adult mental health, addiction and positive psychology.
Feel like you have too many balls in the air? Is it hard to get a sense of doing anything well because you are juggling lots of priorities? Recent research from positive psychology and neuroscience has provided some exciting new insights about how to stay resilient and thrive. This workshop will provide an overview of this research and the resilience and wellbeing skills that are informed by this research. The workshop will be interactive with opportunities to try out some of the tools and tailor their use to participants work and lives. Topics to be covered:• Overview of stress, recovery and resilience: what does
recent research tell us?• What are the specific needs of psychologists in terms
of building resilience? Insights from local research.• Putting the research knowledge into practice – a
toolkit of resilience skills• Improving performance at work and recovery from
work, strengthening your bounce back from stress and difficult emotional experiences, maintaining physical well-being when time is short.
Half-day workshops:Cultural Resonance, Competence, and Relational Collaboration with Indigenous PopulationJoseph E. Trimble, PhD, Distinguished University Professor, Professor of Psychology and Professor in the Woodring College of Education and Research Associate in the Center for Cross-Cultural Research has published widely on indigenous and cross cultural psychology issues.
Indigenous people tend to extend their family experiences, customs, traditions, ways of knowing, and being to other groups. Relationships are at the core of daily life and thus they matter in promoting positive relations with others. Relationships matter more than individualism. Yet contemporary approaches to counseling psychology place an emphasis on nurturing individual growth, change, and development often ignoring the individual’s significant relationships with others and community.In striving to promote change the counselor often concentrates efforts on fostering empathy through an exclusively individual focus. Empathy is predicated on the shared understanding of emotions, thoughts, and actions of one person by another. Most of the research on empathy has been predicated on a definition of empathy as occurring when one person vicariously experiences the feelings, perceptions, and thoughts of another. In Western cultures, the study of empathy focuses exclusively on the individual, whereas in traditional non-Western cultures, empathy more typically involves an inclusive perspective focusing on the individual and significant others in the societal context. This workshop explores the reframing of “empathy,” based on an individualistic perspective, into “inclusive cultural relational empathy,” based on a more relationship-centered perspective, as an alternative interpretation of the empathic process. The workshop’s objectives are: 1). Provide an overview of the significance and importance of inclusive cultural empathy; 2). Reframe the counseling concept of “individualistic empathy” into inclusive cultural empathy; and 3). Develop a more relationship-centered alternative based on indigenous ways of knowing and healing. Within this framework the task is to construct a complex and dynamic balance of tendencies that a competent counselor or psychotherapist can manage without distorting the truth in either an Asian or a Western context. The task of being culturally inclusive is to acknowledge the value of a complex and dynamic balance of tendencies that a competent counselor or psychotherapist can manage in order to promote cultural competence.

How Ideas Become Practical Applications with Organisational and Commercial Impact UK based, AndrewMunro (MA Hons, C Psychol) is a business psychologist with over 25 years international experience of consulting across the corporate and public sectors. He also advises other consultancies in the design and implementation of applications in personal, team and organisational effectiveness. This half-day workshop is designed for practitioners in corporate and consulting life with ideas and insights that can be translated into processes for individual, team and organisational effectiveness (from apps for personal and career development to the kind of analytical tools that support strategic planning). The session identifies the factors that underpin the development of psychologically-based products and services, and outlines a methodology to manage the process from idea generation, design, implementation to the measurement of commercial and professional success. To optimise the value of the session, delegates preferably will operate in roles with scope to implement psychological theory and expertise into applications for their clients. The workshop will be facilitated by Andrew Munro (MA Hons, C Psychol) who has over 25 years’ experience of product development collaboration in the corporate and public sectors, as well as helping a range of consultancies turn their concepts and ideas into commercially viable methodologies, processes and tools. Over this time he has seen many outstanding successes (some unexpected), as well as a fair number of dismal duds, and thinks he now knows the dynamics that increase the probability of a successful application. The workshop incorporates: • identifying and screening promising ideas and
separating the innovative signal from the noise • clarifying the purpose and positioning of the
application: its scope, appeal and claim • the sweet spot of “content, design, technology and
process” • trade-offs; conceptual elegance, methodological
realities, end user benefits and commercial appeal • the practicalities of project management, and how
to build, pilot, test and improve quickly and cost-effectively
• building the evidence and marketing the claim: logistical, professional and ethical issues
The workshop will be interactive with opportunity to work through case studies and look at your own practical examples. We will share experiences and ideas about the future of psychologically robust concepts that will have sustainable impact.

A Price Reduction on WPPSI IV Kit.Thanks to the efforts of NZPsS member Alison Kirby, Pearsons have reduced the NZ RRP price of the WPPSI IV Kit from $3089 to $2905.50. This will be good news for those of you who work with preschoolers up to 7 years old. Alison argued that the New Zealand price compared to the Australian price of A$2470 was unjustified by the exchange rate. There remains a fairly sizable difference but Pearson’s response reminds all of us that we need to watch the pricing of publishers’ materials and question them rather than just pay whatever the asking price is.
Mental Health Foundation News- Two Research Projects- Can you assist? Men’s wellbeing and positive work stories are the focus of two new research projects led by the Mental Health Foundation. The first project is looking at people who have experienced mental distress in the workplace, but had good support from their employer. The University of Otago is partnering with us on the research and the study’s findings will be used to develop a report of positive work stories for the Like Minds, Like Mine programme. This will highlight positive examples and provide useful, practical tips for other employers, and employees affected by mental illness. The second project, developed with Movember Foundation funding, wants to address a gap in appropriate information and support available for men during stressful life events. Men who complete an online survey or join a focus group will help us understand the type of information men currently use and the support they need. The findings will be shared with other agencies so they can target their information and support more effectively.

Can you assist?- Student ResearchMy name is Karen Davies and I am currently a Clinical Psychology trainee and Masters student at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand. My Masters thesis involves examining the difficulties that clinicians experience in diagnosing adult individuals who have an intellectual disability with other psychiatric disorders. The project has been approved by The University of Canterbury Ethics Committee. Supervisors for this Thesis include Dr Eileen Britt (Senior Supervisor) and Chris Daffue (Co Supervisor). I am at this stage, in the process of making contact with organisations and individual clinician’s who may be interested in taking part or passing on this information to their New Zealand clinician members to take part in 20-minute online survey, as part of my research.As such I am contacting The New Zealand Psychological Society to establish whether the Society would be willing to pass on an email with a short description of the research and a link to the survey to their members?Please find below a short description of the research as well as the link to the survey should the Society be willing to distribute this information.Many thanks for your time and consideration and please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions.Adult individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ID’s) are widely acknowledged to be at greater risk of developing psychiatric disorders that the general population. Yet in prior studies, clinicians have indicated their belief that the ID population is not well served by the current mental health services offered. You are invited to take complete a 20-minute online survey with a number of yes/ no questions, multiple choice, and open-ended questions regarding clinicians’ perspectives on the diagnosis of adult persons with an ID in terms of other psychiatric disorders, and the challenges that occur when making these decisions.
This survey forms part of a two-stage research project (the second stage consisting of focus groups to be completed at a later stage) as part of the Thesis requirement of Karen Davies (a Masters and Clinical Psychology trainee student at The University of Canterbury). Supervisors for this Thesis include Dr Eileen Britt (Senior Supervisor) and Chris Daffue (Co Supervisor).As a clinician who is currently, has in the past, or may in the future potentially be working with individuals with an ID as well as being involved in the diagnosis of psychiatric disorders for these individuals, your perspectives and experiences are valued and appreciated should you choose to participate. In time it is hoped that the results from this study will help to guide other clinicians who are experiencing difficulties with diagnosing psychiatric disorders for individuals with an ID.Please note that this study only involves clinicians’ difficulties in diagnosing psychiatric disorders for Adults with an intellectual disability and not include children. Should you choose to take part, please answer questions with this in mind.You may skip any questions you do not feel comfortable answering or withdraw from the research entirely at any stage during the survey.The link to the survey is http://canterbury.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_cOr7BI8VfluR2G9 Many thanks for your time and consideration.Karen DaviesIf you have any further questions please feel free to contact Karen Davies (clinical psychology trainee and masters thesis student), Department of Psychology, University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800, Christchurch, 8140 [email protected] or alternatively,Dr Eileen Britt (Senior Supervisor) Department of Psychology, University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800, Christchurch, 8140 +64 3 364 2987, ext. 7195 [email protected]

4. Identify and, where appropriate, deliver interventions for each the seven types of driver of this group of behaviours, including skills from ACT, CBT, interpersonal, attachment, and systems theories.
