Robert Karlton Conyne
Hello, I am a counseling psychologist and counselor educator, retired from the University of Cincinnati, but remaining active as a consultant and author, focused on prevention, group work, and ecological counseling. I provide preventive mental health services to U.S. military personnel when not writing, and at "rest" travel and hang out at my Canadian cottage with my wife.

With colleague (and wife), Lynn S. Rapin, Ph.D., he also helps people plan and prepare psychologically for life transitions, such as an upcoming retirement, using the holistic approach they developed, “Charting Your Personal Future."

Presenting at APA
By: Robert Karlton Conyne
I will be presenting with colleagues on two programs at the American Psychological Association convention in Toronto this August. One presentation is drawn from an upcoming book chapter on preventing school shootings that will appear in the Cambridge International Handbook of Prevention Science; the other addresses community-based prevention programming, drawing from my recent book with Routledge, Counseling for Wellness and Prevention: Helping People become Empowered in Systems and Settings (2015, 3rd ed.) and from my previous books in prevention program development and evaluation.
Maybe meet you there?
