The CMHR would like to congratulate Dr. Lynette Eulette, Clinical Adjunct Faculty in the Department of Psychology, on her recent election to the role of College Council President of the College of Psychologists of Ontario.  The Council is the governing body of the profession’s regulatory body in the province and it sets policy and provides leadership and direction to the profession. 

Yesterday, Dr. David Moscovitch, CMHR Executive Director, and Dr. Ian Nicholson, CMHR Director, visited the Veterans Care Program located at Parkwood Institute, part of St. Joseph’s Health Care London. This program provides complex continuing and long term care for Canadian war veterans. 

Clinical graduate students were strong representatives of the Department of Psychology at this year’s National Annual Convention of the Canadian Psychological Association held in early June in Victoria, BC.

The CMHR was proud to host a visit by Catherine Fife, MPP (Kitchener-Waterloo). CMHR Executive Director, Dr. David Moscovitch, and CMHR Director, Dr. Ian Nicholson, were joined in hosting Ms. Fife by St. Joseph’s Health Care London’s Operational Stress Injury Clinic (OSIC) Coordinator, Bev Vanderheide, and OSI Psychologist, Dr. Shannon Gifford.

Dr. David Moscovitch, Centre for Mental Health Research Executive Director, and Dr. Susanna Reimer, a psychologist at the University of Waterloo’s Counselling & Psychological Services,  presented a very successful workshop at last week’s Canadian Association for Cognitive & Behavioural Therapies on “Imagery-based Interventions in CBT: Useful Tools for Enhancing Treatment of Social Anxiety (and Related Disorders)”.

The recent partnership between the Centre for Mental Health Research and the Parkwood Institute's Operational Stress Injury (OSI) Clinic at St. Joseph's Health Care, London has continued to be news in our region.

Two Additional Rooms Equipped with Split-Screen Video Recording

Two more rooms in the CMHR are now equipped with dual cameras, allowing for split-screen video recording of interactions during psychotherapy. This setup provides the much-needed capacity to capture both individuals face-on simultaneously.

In its final workshop for the year, the CMHR was proud to host Dr. Richard Zayed, a psychologist from the Child Parent Resource Institute (CPRI) in London Ontario and an Adjunct Assistant Professor, Department of Psychiatry, Western University. He spoke to a full room of faculty and graduate students on “Attachment Theory and its Clinical Application”.
