I'm about to do my (small) part in the Diversifying Clinical Psychology Conference (sponsored by CUDCP). This happens every year; if you have trainees who would be interested next year, let them know about it now! It gives future applicants tons of information and great experience to help them on their way to grad school! (Boost if you think people should know about it).

A colleague recently sent me an interesting article about the shift away from "curing" autism to outcomes that are more reflective of autistic people's goals and desires.

"The question then becomes, How do we best support people who are autistic, and how would you measure improvement if you are conducting clinical trials?"

Does fear reduction predict treatment response to exposure for social anxiety disorder? https://buff.ly/3WoGNt2

#psychology #clinicalpsychology

• Fear activation lacked predictive value of treatment outcomes for social anxiety.

• Within-session fear reduction failed to predict treatment outcomes.

• Between-session fear reduction across exposures did not predict treatment gain.

Does anyone have suggestions for papers talking about the replication crisis and open science in clinical psychology?

Hi - I'm Cait! A #ClinicalPsychology graduate student at the University of Wyoming.

Broadly, my research interests include understanding mechanisms underlying substance use and related externalizing behaviors - more specifically, impulsivity in the initiation and maintenance of substance use, and the relation of these factors to other risky/externalizing behaviors.
