The AP-LS Practice Committee strives to meet the distinct needs of forensic clinicians who are members of AP-LS. To that end, the Practice Committee is excited to announce our 2nd year of partnership with The Society for Personality Assessment (SPA), the largest organization dedicated to the advancement of the science and practice of personality assessment for the betterment of society.
This partnership affords all AP-LS members the SPA Member rate for all of their workshops, as well as the SPA Convention, which is scheduled to be in person March 9-13, in Chicago, IL at the Westin Michigan Avenue hotel.
