Generations in Dialogue: The Evolution of Psychological Practice
About this event
IN-PERSON WORKSHOP
In honor of DPA's 70th anniversary, we are pleased to invite you to a special inter-generational panel discussion focused around the evolution of the practice of psychology. This event brings together licensed psychologists from diverse generational cohorts (seasoned practitioners, mid-career clinicians, and early-career professionals) to reflect on how the field of psychology has transformed over the decades. Panelists will discuss shifts in theoretical orientation, diagnostic practices, therapeutic modalities, professional ethics, diversity and inclusion, technology integration, and the evolving needs of clients. This is a timely opportunity for clinicians across career stages to learn from each other’s lived professional experience, foster intergenerational understanding, and contemplate the future trajectory of psychological practice in North Texas and beyond.
- Compare and contrast how theoretical approaches, assessment tools, and treatment models have evolved across generations of psychologists.
- Identify key historical and sociocultural influences (including technological, regulatory, and demographic changes) that have shaped contemporary psychological practice.
- Articulate practical strategies for bridging generational differences within the profession and integrating the strengths of multiple eras to enhance client care and professional development.
