TALK Research Membership

TALK Research Membership is a series online CPD that makes interaction research evidence accessible for psychologists to support clinical interactions. Members have access to regular reviews that synthesise the evidence and implications of research on psychotherapeutic interactions. Reviews include just-published and classic research from peer-reviewed journals and chapters from edited collections of studies that investigate how therapeutic talk works.

Every review provides a succinct and expert summary from Dr Amelia Church of a research paper drawn from discursive psychology, conversation analysis, psycholinguistics, applied linguistics, sociology, linguistic anthropology or psychology. Membership allows psychologists to engage with research evidence that explains how interactions are managed in therapy.

Each year, members qualify for a total of six hours of professional development by spending less than 10 minutes a week reading (or listening) to a review. The membership fee of $15 per month (or $150 per year) includes:

• Weekly research reviews published over 12 months;

• Written and audio versions provided for each review;

• Prompts for professional reflection;

• Copy of written reflection for each review as record of professional learning;

• Ongoing access to all reviews;

• Continuing professional development providing sustained reflection for improved learning;
