Founding CCI Director Awarded ACPA Lifetime Membership

At the 2020 Annual General Meeting of the Australian Clinical Psychology Association (ACPA) it was announced that our Founding Director, Paula Nathan, was to be welcomed as a Lifetime Member of ACPA in recognition of the significant contribution she has made to the field of clinical psychology.

The organisation released the following statement to announce this achievement:

Dr Nathan has had a highly distinguished career. Dr Nathan developed the Centre for Clinical Interventions (CCI) in Perth, Western Australia to provide expert specialist psychological interventions for patients suffering from complex affective disorders and anxiety disorders.  In 2005, WA’s first adult and youth eating disorders service was established within CCI.  Strongly grounded in the scientist-practitioner model, CCI provides WA consumers with access to high quality, evidence-based psychological treatment, and continually works to improve treatments through an ongoing dialogue between clinical practice and a strong program of applied clinical research.  CCI has made an impact at a national and international level through its research program, and also through its extensive collection of resources for consumers and clinicians which are freely available on the CCI website and widely used around the world.

CCI are excited to share this news, and to recognise all the amazing work that Paula did in creating our service as a platform for the important work we continue to do today in delivering clinical services, conducting research, developing resources, and providing training.
