Continuing Education

The Danielsen Institute offers continuing education programs for mental health care givers and clergy. The American Psychological Association (APA) has approved the Institute as a sponsor of continuing education and for offering continuing education credits to psychologists. The Institute also offers CEUs to social workers, as approved by the Boston University School of Social Work.

The Danielsen Institute sponsors a biennial conference which focuses on the integration of spirituality and psychotherapy. The next conference will be held in the fall of 2004.

Each year, the Institute offers an extern program for mental health practitioners interested in integrating a religious and spiritual perspective with their therapeutic practice. The program is led by Danielsen Institute clinical staff and their faculty colleagues from Boston University. This is a continuing education opportunity for clinicians who are interested in integration but lack formal theological education or those who have training in theology, or its equivalent, but no regular support for an integrative practice. This monthly series may include some didactic presentations by Boston University faculty and Danielsen Institute clinical staff, opportunities for all extern participants to do a case presentation, and group discussion regarding various integration topics.
