Australian Association of Psychologists inc.

The AAPi is a professional association for psychologists. www.aapi.org.au We also reject the arbitrary notion of PBA endorsement in specialist areas.

We represent all registered psychologists in Australia and believe in diversity, equity and unity within the profession. The Australian Association of Psychologists inc (AAPi) is a not-for-profit Peak Professional Organisation for psychologists. We recognise that many psychologists have become particularly stressed with the changes that have been wrought in our profession. We seek to balance this by resourcing our members, giving them a voice, and advocating on their behalves for the respect and remuneration they deserve. As psychologists, we want genuine support for our work, and genuine advocacy with governments and decision makers when it is required. In order that we can help people to make positive changes in their lives, we need to remain viable. To succeed in this, we need to advocate for changes in the governance of our profession, and to provide the level of support to members which are required of practicing psychologists. We recognise that the public is best served by a well respected and equitably paid psychology workforce of competent professionals. Our constituency is the well trained and highly capable psychologists that provide most of the mental health services in Australia. Our primary mission is to lobby for equitable access for the Australian public to professional psychological services funded under the Better Access Scheme. Psychology is the specialty, and historically, competent psychologists have been able to work across the various areas of applied psychology. Phase II of our mission is to provide support, services and resources to our members which are not met by other psychological associations. AAPi is made up by its members, and for its members, and as we aim to be inclusive, we welcome dual membership by practitioners who are also members of other professional organisations. Please note: AAPi and administrators of this page are not responsible for the contents of visitor posts.

This presentation draws on Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) to explore psychophysiological processes behind a wide variety of psychological and somatic symptoms. Many of these processes start early in life, making them difficult for clients to notice, understand, and put into words.

Grounded in a trauma-informed perspective, this presentation also highlights the impact of early attachment trauma on emotional processing and psychological structure, particularly as expressed through unconscious anxiety and resistance patterns.

This presentation explores the deeply personal and professionally rigorous journey of Tim Sanderson, a psychologist who has spent over four decades tracing the hidden patterns of neurodivergence. From graduating in Human Psychology at Aston University in 1982 to receiving his own diagnoses of Autism and ADHD at age 60, Tim’s story is one of insight, legacy, and radical reframing.

Tim invites fellow psychologists, educators, and allies to move beyond silos and see neurodivergence as part of a broader, purposeful and valuable genetic story.
