Administered 7 Rorschachs, written up 5 (7 MMPI, written 7). Would like to give 3 more before I apply for internship (and probably this means before May). I’m particularly interested in a couples/ consensus Rorschach, but I’m not sure how I’ll get an opportunity to do that.

Action:
—sent out email volunteering to conduct assessments for colleagues
—possible to do these at practicum site?
—possible to do these for research, or to assist with someone’s research?
—midway assessments w/ current clients?
—become involved w/ local practicum-job as outside assessor (or, do a paid practicum next year and these assessments will be part of my job)

Intended articles:

1) Reframing the humanistic critique of technology and a discussion of online embodiment.
-accepted with revisions, revised copy due at the end of Dec.
-to do: determine necessary revisions from commentary, incorporate new texts (i.e., more later Heidegger on technology)

2) An Existential-Phenomenological Study of Being a Class Clown.
-submitted, may be up to one year before hearing back, however
-a few ideas for where to submit for quick turnaround if rejected
-to do: make a set list of other places to submit if necessary

3) Women & Drug Use: De-Naturalizing Addiction to Aid Recovery
-submitted to a conference for March, hoping to connect with publishers there
-to do: finish revising for publication, find out which journal editors will be at the conference, make a list of potential publishers (whether represented at the conf. or not)

4) Changing the boundaries of the skin: A feminist-phenomenological look at strap-on dildos.
-encouraged to publish, prepping for APA journal
-also received an offer to publish this article as part of a special issue journal, this is the plan if it is not taken up by larger mainstream publisher
-to do: submit to APA journal, try to get more assistance from mentor who’s familiar w/ this journal and editor’s research

5) Locating feminine gender identity: questioning primary femininity.
-received thorough and useful comments from publisher (in rejection letter)
-to do: implement suggestions, find other sites for publication, preferably a psychoanalytic journal

And:
-find other opportunities for publication, learn how to turn clinical and teaching experiences into articles
-submit a case to Case Studies journal
-collaborate with others on studies
-do something w/ archived Clinic data

I would say December 4 is about two months away, not one… geez, I don’t think a month is enough time to write this dude.
