[#DIV28SUPER] FJC web series

Dear Division 28 Members,

Jason Cantone, a friend and colleague, who is the APA Council Representative for Division 41 (American Psychology-Law Society), works at The Federal Judicial Center, the research and education branch for the U.S. federal court system, and led an effort to create a web series on the opioid crisis and the courts. The series can be found here: https://www.fjc.gov/content/343128/opioid-crisis

Perhaps of most interest to Division 28's membership, it includes an interview with a psychologist, Division 28 President-Elect Kelly Dunn, on what judges should know about how psychologists treat individuals with opioid use disorder. It also includes a segment from psychologist Dr. Cathy Thompson, National Chief of Drug Treatment Programs at the Federal Bureau of Prisons, on how the Bureau of Prisons handles opioid use disorder in incarcerated settings and prepares inmates for reentry. Both segments discuss the use of CBT and chronic pain management.  

There are also segments featuring federal judges, a state court chief justice, CDC Director Dr. Redfield, and both the first-ever and current deputy directors of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, among others. 

If anyone has comments, they can direct them to Jason A. Cantone, J.D., Ph.D., at jasoncantone@gmail.com.

I hope you find this series informative and useful! The series is available to the public, so please feel free to share widely.

-Bill Stoops.
