The Baltimore Psychotherapy Institute
May 25,2004
Dear Colleagues and Friends of the Institute:
We’re back (Well, actually, we never really went anywhere.), and better than ever!
The Baltimore-Washington Brief Therapy Institute is now the Baltimore Psychotherapy Institute, Inc. (BPI). Please make a note not only of our new name, but our new address, phone numbers, and internet and web portals. Please spread the word.
Over the past ten years as we provided training and consultation to therapists and organizations, we realized we were always more interested in effectiveness than we were in brevity. In working to make therapy better, we were also inviting therapists to be more accountable for outcome and thereby to become more efficient.
Our new name, the Baltimore Psychotherapy Institute, Inc. (BPI), reflects our abiding interest in high-quality psychotherapy that works, not simply in short-term therapy.
As we have integrated new affiliates, trainers, and programs into BPI over the past few years, we have become even better able to provide training and consultation to therapists at all levels and to organizations of all sorts. We look forward to your getting to know all of us, as well as the different training options we can provide.
While we will still present major conferences on leading-edge issues in therapy (save the dates for the return of Scott Miller – May 5th and 6th, 2005), our emphasis will return to our post-graduate certificate training programs and on-site agency training and consultation in effective, outcome-oriented psychotherapy.
We are able to provide Category A/I continuing education credits for all our offerings to psychologists, social workers, counselors, and therapists, and BPI remains one of your most affordable and useful sources of continuing professional education. We will update continually our website to bring you news and information and add value to your practice: www.BaltimorePsychotherapy.org.
We look forward to seeing some of you again soon and to working with others of you for the first time. Please keep in touch. And thank you for evolving with us.
Sincerely,
Daniel L. Buccino, LCSW-C, BCD
