The ASCH Communication Task Force presents the first installment of the ASCH Herald - brief news and notes about what is happening in our society and what is in the works. We would also like to hear from you - please, share your accomplishments, news, and comments: herald@asch.net 
The 2016 ASCH Annual Scientific Meetings and Workshops in St. Louis was a great success. Arreed Barabasz, Michael Yapko, Eric Vermetten, Mark Jensen and Camillo Loriedo were plenary presenters. We would like to thank them for their contribution to the field and continuous effort to teach and share their considerable expertise.

The workshops covered many topics, theoretical and practical. The only complaint that HERALD had was that we had so many great workshops, and while we know something about multiple personalities, we do not know much about being at several places at the same time. We are looking forward to getting the audio recording of the sessions that we missed.
 
As always, we believe that the best part of the Annual Meeting is the sense of the great camaraderie that our members share. It was wonderful to meet new people, exchange ideas and experiences and develop friendships that will last.


EVENTS & NEWS

The Distance Learning Task Force (DLTF) is working hard to bring the Annual Session plenaries online. If you missed a plenary subject that is of great importance to you - it will be available in the e-learning section soon. We will keep you posted.
 
We also learned that the library of CLINICAL SHORTS will be expanded to include demonstrations by Dabney Ewin, Dan Handel, Sheryl Daniel and Carolyn Daitch . HERALD has observed some of the recordings and is happy to express its admiration for the work of these superb clinicians. 
 
Here is a snippet of Dabney Ewin's demonstration video of ideomotor signaling from the ASCH library:
