Center for Psychological Studies doctoral students Jessica Karle, Leah Langsam, Yalemni Luna, Tracey Chisholm and Michelle Warnock recently attended the International Council of Psychologists 67th Annual Convention in Mexico City, Mexico where they presented "Social Support and Burnout in Mental Health Providers: A Moderating Effect." The poster presentation was prepared under the supervision of CPS professor William Dorfman, Ph.D., ABPP.
Karle and Dorfman, along with CPS professors Christian DeLucia, Ph.D., and Stacey Lambert, Psy.D., also presented a poster "Exploring Burnout in Mental Health Providers of Chronic Clients" at the recent annual meeting of the American Psychological Association.
At the same APA meeting, CPS doctoral students Angela Taveira-Dick and Nicole Swaggerty-Valdes collaborated with Dorfman and CPS professor Ed Simco to present "The Influence of Race and Social class on Psychiatric Clinician Diagnosis."
Karle, Taveira-Dick and Swaggerty-Valdes are all enrolled in the clinical psychology program's Long Term Mental Illness (LTMI) concentration. The psychology of LTMI is an emerging area of specialization in psychology that studies the treatment and evaluation of severely and persistently mentally ill adults and children and their families. The area focuses on specialized assessment techniques, psychosocial rehabilitation and public policy.

CPS students Jessica L. Mackelprang, M.S., Daniel J. Heyanka, M.A., Jessica Karle, M.S. and CPS assistant professor Craig D. Marker, Ph.D., presented research on “Executive Control is Associated with Mathematical Ability and Reading Comprehension.”
