Members of the New Global PSP Community engage individually and collaborative in research and scholarship0–often through The Edge of Knowledge, PSP’s research and development center. Findings from their work are published in PSP’s Library of Professional Psychology. More extensive writing is to be found in one of the three publishing centers of PSP’s Ash Point Publishing: The Professional Psychology Press, Pacific Soundings Press and Atlantic Soundings Press.
The Professional School of Psychology continues to offer its suite of coach-related certificate programs with its focus on Coach-Based Leadership. This program is offered digitally to life-long learners throughout the world. Conducted by William Bergquist and Agnes Mura, internationally known experts in the fields of professional coaching and leadership development, this three month long program combined Zoom-based presentations by Bergquist and Mura on such diverse topics as designing effective teams and engaging in difficult conversations with small group digitally-based discussions and application sessions. This program is limited to 25 particpants, so you will want to sign up early for the next program beginning in September of 2020.
A mature and accomplished life-long learner wishing to become more competent in making decisions and taking actions in a complex, unpredictable and turbulent environment. In recognition of this fundamental challenge, PSP offers unique digital and in-person education via workshops and certification programs at an affordable price. These programs are founded on a detailed analysis of four models of adult education—with an emphasis being placed on the third (transformational) and fourth models (appreciative).
For more than 40 years, The Professional School of Psychology (PSP) has created a remarkable global community made up of lifelong learners from many professions who are committed to collaborative learning with one another. Specifically, PSP is a distinctive institution that emphasizes high quality yet affordable education and training for mature, accomplished adults and experienced human service professionals from all regions of the world.
Though PSP is no longer offering degree programs, it is hosting many workshops and certification programs–often through its unique models of educational delivery, PSP continues to effectively serve life-long learners from many professions and many regions of the world who face the challenges and opportunities inherent in the application of psychological knowledge to the complex, unpredictable and turbulent 21st Century world in which they live and work.
Through the Edge of Knowledge center, members of the PSP community are exploring the application of “cutting edge” theory and research in several domains including clinical, health and organizational psychology.
PSP research is embedded in recognition that valuable knowledge reside near some edge. Knowledge exists in sectors where we know that we don’t know and where we discover that we know more than we were initially aware.
At PSP and the Edge of Knowledge center we also venture into the frontier sector where we are vaguely aware of a lack of knowledge and need to know.
Edge of Knowledge projects lead to production of social media documents and publications in the Library of Professional Psychology—and creation of cutting edge workshops and certification programs.
