Dues can be sent electronically to the treasurer McKenzie K. Roddy via Venmo (send payment to @McKenzie-Roddy) or via PayPal.com (send to  mckroddy@gmail.com). It is important to designate the payment as "send to friends and family" to avoid processing fees. For all dues, please indicate “ABCT Couples SIG" in the note.

Listserv

The Couples SIG listserv is used as a forum for academic discussions, therapy referral queries, research-related questions, and coordination of presentations and events at the ABCT Conference in November.

If you would like to be a member of the listserv, you must first join the Couples SIG. Once this process is underway, please contact the media coordinators and request to be added to the listserv. 


If you are already a member of the listserv, you can compose a message by sending it to the email address below.
