CONTINUING EDUCATION ATTENDANCE POLICY
(Dated 06-13-2022)
PURPOSE
The Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis (ICP) values providing the best quality of continuing education to its participants to enhance learning contemporary psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
POLICY
ALL PROGRAMS:
The American Psychological Association (APA) is a recognized approval agency of the California Board of Behavioral Sciences and provides continuing education (CE) programs for psychologists and other mental health professionals, including Social Workers and Marriage, and Family Therapists (LCSW, LMFT, ASW, IMF, LEP, LPCC, PCCI). If you are licensed in a different state than CA, please check with your state licensing board to ensure that the ICP is on their preferred list of APA vendors.
The Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis (ICP) is approved by the American Psychological Association (APA) to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. The Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis maintains responsibility for this program and its content.
The Continuing Education Administrator, or their designee, will evaluate each situation on a case by-case basis when considering full attendance and awarding the credit.
Due to accreditation guidelines, continuing education credit will NOT be awarded to participants who do not attend a program in its entirety (=the full duration of each activity). Participants arriving more than 10 minutes late, not returning from breaks or lunch on time, or leaving more than 10 minutes before the end of the daily program will not be awarded Continuing Education (CE) credits.
Continuing Education certificates will be provided within 4 weeks of the date of an Independent Program, or 30 days after the last date of a multiple date program (e.g., several units course). Continuing Education certificates will not be provided after this deadline. Please email the ICP office at [email protected] if you have not received your CE certificate within this deadline.
PROGRAMS:
Remote/Online Programs:
Attendance is monitored and recorded using the ICP Zoom account. To join the Zoom meeting or webinar, attendees will need to be signed into their own Zoom account which allows ICP to pull a record of attendance, required by the APA to provide CEs. If needed, attendees can sign up for a Zoom account here at no charge. Attendees must be sure both their personal computers and Zoom apps are updated to the current version. If attendees are using someone else’s zoom account or their personal account is using a “nickname”, it is crucial to change the screen name to the attendees registered full name (= first and last name) for ICP to monitor attendance properly. ICP cannot guarantee CE Credits otherwise.
There are no additional technological requirements for attendance. ICP suggests signing into your zoom account a few days prior to the meeting/webinar from the device that will be used to participate, to ensure everything is up to date.
Live in-person Programs:
Attendance sheets have in-time and out-time documented and monitored by authorized personnel at the beginning and end of the program. Large public events: A staff member is present in the audience to ascertain attendance and two ICP staffers sit at the registration table. To receive CE Credits an attendee must attend the full duration of the program, as explained above.
ADDITIONAL PROGRAM INFORMATION:
ICP Continuing Education Programs (Extension/Foundations Program/Saturday Series Program) Classes in these programs are independent of all other classes within the Saturday Series and Foundations/Extension Program. Therefore, CE credits will be provided after each individual class attended in its entirety.
ICP Psychoanalytic Training Program (PTP) – Four-year academic program Enrollees are required to attend 70% of the 32-unit course offering to pass the course. CE Credits are awarded to enrollees for individual classes attended in their entirety, as stated above. The accumulated CE Credits will be provided for the classes attended at the end of each
academic year.
Please note, not all classes in the Psychoanalytic Training Program (PTP) will provide continuing education units (CE Credit). Candidates/students can email the ICP office at [email protected] to ask which classes will provide continuing education units (CE Credit).
