INTRODUCTION

As the American Psychological Association celebrates its Cemennial in 1992. our sense of history becomes increasingly s..1 Iient. and \\o'C find ourselves focusing greater and greater interest on our own rOOIS, our own development as the Division of Psychotherapy. In so doing. we go back more lhan 30 years, when our stOTY really began. While this is not a vcry long time, by historical standards, it is. unfortunately. a longcnough lime in which to lose records. reports. and people - the stuff of which such histories arc made. So this recorder has become a delective. trying to piece together from available data. the material \",hich belongs here. Ever optimistic. I have left blanks to fill in names. dates. etc .. at limes. in the hope that someobsessive-compulsivc packratslold-limers will answer m)'calJ and answer my questions! Lel me assure you. however. that what I don't have evidence for. I do not include. So this may be laken as a somewhat less than complete. perhaps. but hopeful I y never less than accurate. account of the Division of Psychotherapy of thl! American Psychologic:'11 Association.

PIAP: PSYCHOLOGISTS INTERESTED IN THE ADVANCEMENT OF PSYCHOTHERAPY

A copy orVal. I No. I orthe PIAP Bllllelill. dated July. 196 1. was a real find , and provided the kinds of background information I was looking for: It was during the 1960 APA Convention that a group of APA psychologists sharing inceresL< in psychotherapy banded together to fonn PLAP. an organiz .. 1.tion dedicated (0 the advancement of the teaching and practicc of psychotherapy. the training 01 psychotherapists. and the conduct of rese.:1.rch in psychotherapy. This aClion \Va, based on the ir shared perception that APA and its Divisions " 'ere not representin~ adequately thei r scientific and professional imerests.

An active and ambitious grouP. chaired by Arthur H. Davi son. PIAP presented workshops and Institutes in major areas of the United States, led by professioll:lls who had made recognized contributions in the field of psychotherapy. Th.:y presented progmms at APA conventions. And Lhey started plans for publishing ,I journal, Psychotherapy: Theory. Research and Practice. LO be edited by ElIgcn~' T. Gendli n. Reading the rosters of Officers, Board members andCommil1cech:Ul\ involved in PIAP from 196 1 on is much like reading a list of the illustriom psychologist/psychothcrapists in the United Statesl Among its Presidents. follow ing Dr. Davison, were Leonard Pearson. Reuben Fine, Hans Strupp.and Gem' Gendlin_ Olher Officers and Board members included Ronald E. Fox. who scrvl',1 as Treasurer.

Plans toorganize a new Division of APA were discussed - with considerable heal generated, apparently - but the final decision was to defer such action, and see how responsive APA and its Divisions. particularly Division 12 (Clinical.) would be to

their needs_

PIAP: A SECTION OF DIVISION 12, APA

In March of 1963. Eugene Gendlin, President or PIAP. received a leller from Victor Rairny. President of Division 12, informing him that on February 23. 1963. the Executive Comminee of the Division of Clinical Psychology had unanimously approved PIAP as a section of their Division. This seemed a natural and appropriate affiliat ion. and, according toa PIAP report dated April I 963and found in theAPA's membership files, for the fi rst time psychotherapy as a field was explicitly represented in APA. PIAP developed its own By-La\\'s, e~ecled its own ?ffic~rs and Executive Board. assessed membership dues. and published a Bulletin for Its membership_ From the Libf'MYofCongress. I was able 10 get my hands on two more issues of that Bulletin. Vol. 3, No. I and Vol. 4. o. 2. Such a find!

In the PIAP Bul/elill Vol. 3, No. 1, datedJul1e 1963, and edited by Jules Barron. Treasure.- An ita Montague reported sending out bi lls to over 600 members (incidentally. dues wereS5, then,) and quickly the membership grew to about I CK>? Lookim! al the list of Officers and Board, we noted some who weIll on to lead 10

Divisio; 29 .our past presidents Ted Blau. Bob Harper, Max Siegel , Jules Barron. and Carl ZimeL I also noted with interest mention of the formation of an Administrative Committee to carryon the day-to-day business of the Section, and 1e..'1fned Ihat a r.-:lembership DirectOry. a simple. mimeographed listing was under way under the direction of Richard Robertson. while Keilh Hoover had taken on ~e responsibili ty for preparing a comprehensive directoryof al l institutions oragenclcs offering programs at the level of postgraduate tmining in psychotherapy.

Very active programming was one of the major goab of the seetio.n. with workshops and symposia planned for presentation during the APA convention and at regional and other meetings throughoul the year to provide quality postgraduate trainino in psychotherapy_ Discussion continued regarding the journal on psycho­therap; which had been planned even before PIAP became a Section of Division 12. and efforts had begun to develop policy and structure for the journal in time for presentation to the Executive Board at APA for final approval. It should be noted that the decision to pursueestablishmcnt of ajournal was based in part on the results of a researchqucstionnaire dealing with I I critical issues in psychotherapy and setH

to nearly 4500 psychologists in APA who listed psychotherapy as 3n interest in the

• 5 •

1962 Directory. Only 20% of respondents thought that coverdge of psychotherapy topics was adequate in APA journals, and 78% though I Ihal Ihere should be a new journal dea ling with psychoLherapy.

There was a leiter dated Apri l 8. I 963.from Leoll3rd Pearson. vice-presidenl of PIAP. (0 the Publications Board of APA. indicating that PIAP had been concerned about the adequacy of publication out lets for lheorelical. clinical. and professional aTlicles dealing with psychotherapy practice. teaching. or research. He staled (hat Lheir decision to establish a journal ofpsychOlherapy had been made before PIAP

became a Section of Division 12. and ciled an illustrious Editorial Board. ( George Bach, John Bell. Paul Bergman, James Bugental , Charlotte Buhler. Eric Dreikurs. Reuben Fine, Ernst Hirsch, Sidney Joumrd, Arthur Kovacs. Rollo May, Clark Moustakas, William Snyder. Hans Strupp. Julies Seeman. Victor Rajmy. Frederick Thome, alllong others, were participanLS.) Even as Len Pearson "\-Tote, manuscripts were being solicited for the first issue. under theeditorshipof Eugene Gendlin, and in 1964, Vol. I #1 of that journal, Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and PrllClice. was published.

Vol. 4, No.2 of the PIAP Bulletill, edited by Vin Rosenthal, showed an Executive Board and Committee chairs list that included more lo-becomc­Pres idents of Division 29: Vic Raimy, Fred Spaner (our firsl president.) Jack Krasncr, and Yin Roselllhal . It a lso showcd an organization with a membership very much involved not only in thc practice of psychotherapy, but a lso in the teaching, the training, and the researching that are so important to us still.

A leuerwriuen by Maury Karpflo PresidenlGeoeGe ndJin in Septcmberof 1963 concerned the PIAP Executivc Board meeting thaI had been held earlier in the month, and ind icated some of the strugglcs around gelling consensus regarding the Struclure and function of the group. But PlAP continued as an active Section of Division 12. For example, on September 8. 1964, PIAP recommended changes in the accredilalion of doctoral programs, including: a minimum of 2 years of supervised training in psychotherapy, which would be conducted in campusscHings serving the community; and appropriate courses in psychotherapy, some of which would be taught by pratitioners. And PIAP opposed vigorously any attempt to separate psychotherapy training from the doctoral program in psychology, slaling thai there should be no "practical or professional program" established scpanuc from or incapable of leading 10. a Ph.D in psychology.

TIle APA Board of Directors. at it s Sept 1964 meeting rejected a requesl from PIAPforthe inclusion, in theAPA ballol.of s lates of candid ales for election to PIAP oflicc, on the grou nds thai " the Cemral Office cannot, in general. supervise such an election adequately."

· 6 ·

The Section continued its proactive stance. growing, by 1966. to a membership of approximately 1400. But problems for PIAP members within Division 12continued. including a 50% rejection rate of the programs submitted for APA Convention and a perceived lack of cooperation regarding PIAP's election ballots, dues billing, and other requests for help. The leaders of PIAP relt Lhattheir needs were inadequ31ely met by the govemznce of Division 12. and discussions aboul the possibility of achieving Divis ional s tatus.begun in 1960 but tabled when the affiliation with Division 12 was agreed to. resu rfaced.

The leadership of PIAP mOSI involved in the elfort to achieve Divis ion stalus consisted of:

1965-1966 1966-1967 Presidem Hans Strupp Reuben Fine President-Elect Reuben Fine Fred Spaner Past President Leonard Pearson Hans Strupp SecreLary Marjorie Creelman Nancy Orlansky Treasurer Ron Fox Ron Fox Rep to Div. 12 Ted Blau Ted Blau Board Members Jules Barron Jules Barron

Harold Lindner Harold Lindner Jack Krasner Jack Krasner Fred Spancr Len Pearson (Others unknown) Vin Roscnthal

Bob Harper

At the Execulive Board meeting all September l. 1966, Ted Blau led a discussion which culminated in a unanimous VOle to draft a petition to be circulated for signature. requesti ng of the APA Council of Representatives the establishment of a new Division of APA to be known as the Division of Psychotherapy. The petition for Divis ional SlalUS, with the necessary signatures and proposed By-Laws attached. was presenled 10 the Board of Directors of APA at its May 1967 mceting. and was for.varded 10 the Counci I of Represematives in August of that year.

As indic31ed in the Petition submiued to Council (See Appendix A):.

·• ... the purpose of the Division shall be (a) to bring together inlo one body all members of the American Psychological Association who arc imerested in psycho­therapy and who meet certain standards and qua li fic.llions: (b) to srimulate the exchange of scientific information among psychologists interested in psycho­therapy: (c) to contribute toward. and aim to enhance the appropriate teaching of psychotherapy to psychologists; (d) to stimulate research into the nmure of psychoLherapy and to publish, whenever possible, the data so coliecLed: (e) to promote the developmcm of standards for practice that : ( I) encourage ulilization

A HOME OF O UR OWN: THE DIV ISION OF PSYCHOTHERAPY, APA

On September 4. 1967. in Washington. D. C. with lhe approval of the Council of Representatives. PIAl> became Division 29 the Division of Psvcho­therapy of the American Psychological Association. 'SO now OUf goals"v,:crc official ly recognized as significant for psychology and warranting Divisional sta1U\ [0 carry them out. A nd we were 011 our way and - 1110re or less -on our own! Since PI AP had pet it ioned for Divisional status, and had served as the organizing lxxty of the new Division. it was transformed imothe Division ofPsychOlherapyduring the 1967- 1968 year, and all PI AP members became charter members of Division 29.

Division 29 has. over its 25 years. been a very spt...'Cial collection ofpeoplc doing a very special job ror psychology and psychotherapy. II was firsl in so many ways: first Division to hold Midwinter Meetings - which changed the face of APA. becoming a model which many oOler divisions havcemu lated over the years. It W;'I\

the first to offer Student Travel scholarships. The first to have a Central Officc. The first to have conversation hours and programs in a Divisional Hospi tality Suite ( A PIAP idea .. .. ) It was a leader ill tryi ng to reshape fellowship requirements for practi tioner divisions. And it was, according to Ron Fox. Ted Blau. and many others, a first real home for the practitioner within APA. One of the things which has madc it special over the years has been the sense of fami ly in Division 29. III the early years, it was the one division within which the young practitioner \vould find role models. It was also a leader in bringing practitioners into participation ill APA governance. on Boards and Committees. on the Board of Directors. and uhirnately into the Presidency of APA via slich strongly identified Di\' ision 29 members as Ted Blau. Max Siegel. Nick Cummings. Slim ley GrJ.ham. Jad Wiggins, and who knows who else by lhetime you read thisl But now.lel·sgo bad. to 1967:

1967-1968

The first official Board oflhe Divis ion of Psychothempy (for 1967- 1968) 100~ their seats following the 1967 Council meeting. and consisted of:

President: Fred E. Spaner President-Elect Theodore M. Blall Past President Secretary Treasurer Council Rep:

Reuben Fine Nancy Orlinsky Ronald E. Fox Leonard Pearson ( 1967-69)

• 8 •

Jules Barron (1967-68) Eugene T. Gendlin ( 1967-69 Fred E. Spaner ( 1967-68)

Members-aI-large: Jack D. Krasner{I967-68) Erika Chance 1967-70) Vin Rosenthal( 1967-69) Lawrence Bookbinder{ 1967~9) Max Siegel (1967-70) Charlotte B. Buhler (1967-68) Robert A. Harper (I967-70) Harold Lindner (I 967-68)

Having been fortunate enough to find a copy of lhe Psychotherapy 8/(l/etin. Vol. 1 #2 dated June of 1968. I can tell ),ou that ti,e Division by then had had iLS By-Laws approved by the membership. and was actively engaged in an impressive variety of projects chaired by an impressive roster of psycholherapists! Gene Gendlin was editor of Psychotherapy. and Jack \Viggins was chairing - you guessed it - the Insur..mce & Related Social Issues Committee, with Gene Shapiro and Ollie Kerner as working members. AI Mahrer\vas Editor of the project entitled Crea/h"e Contributions 10 Psychotherapy. and Pincus Gross was Editor of the pj'ycllOlherapy Bullelill , the official organ of the Division, and {he successor to the PIAP Bul/e/in. Nat Raskin was heading up the Research Committec'sefforts, and a one-day conference on "Psychotherapy Research" was planned to precede the 1968 APA Convenlion in San Francisco. Donald Paull. chair of Ihe Ethics and Ethical Standards Committee. reported that the resuhs of a Division survey on Ethical Standards were in the process of analysis. and would be published in the nexl issue. A booklet entilled P~;)'chOlJref(If1), - A Pl)'cJlOlogicai Perspective, written by Jules Barron. Jack Krasner. and Ben Fabrikant . and designed to educate the public about how and \""hen to use psychotherapy and where to seek it, was nearing publication. Ted Aidman. Chair of the \Vorkshop Committee had, with Gerard Haigh, Leonard Pearson .. md Hans Strupp. arranged for two all-day therapy workshops to be he ld at the 1968 APA Convention. One of the Workshops, was entitled "How Can Vie Speed Up The Intensive Psychotherapeutic Process?" and included a~ participants the following panel members: Eric Berne. Hedda Boigar. Eugene Gcndlin, HaroldGrccnwald. Frederick Perls. Bemard Reis~. Virginia Satir. and Everett Shoslrom. among others! (Impressive. no?) And the other workshop. "1'he Personal Experiencing of Some I nnovation~ in Psychotherapy," was led by \Villi .. ,m SchulZ. Not bad for a new Division ....... I also noted that Ted Blau and Stanley Graham were among the members of the Program Committee chaired by Raben F. Schaer. And that alllong the nev,; members welcomed to the Division were Herb Freudenberger and Irv Raifman.

Division 29 was already ~olic iling input from gradumc students relating to their training. and providing its membership with information regarding the background and legis lariveeffon on lhe part or the New Jersey Psychological Assn., (with Gene Shapiro and Morris Goodman spearheading Ihe effort) lhat led to passage of (he first freedom of choice 1m,,· in the Uni ted States recogniz.ing psychologists under group major medical policies .

Ron Fox told me the story of how thene".' Division did not have sufficient funds in theirlreasury to pay for their needed Board meeting. So. at the suggestion ofTcd Blau, they held workshops in Tampa. Florida, from which they raised the funds necessary to meet the financial obligations incurred by their Board meeting. It \"" as these workshops which were. in facl. the forerunners o f the Midwinter Meetings which helped. laler. to put the Division of Psychotherapy "on the map."

1968-1 969

Our president, Ted Blau. was elected to the Board of Directors of APA. for a 1969-1971 tenll . Ted was the first Division 29 Officer to serve in this capacity. though Vic Raimy had had l\vOtenllSon the Board of Directors from 1960-1962and 1965-1967, before we becallle a Division.

J couldn ' t sec l11 10 get my hands on much maleriallo tell us about what happened during this year. but il phone call to Ted Blau brought a promise to send along whatever he might find on a back shelf in a dusty carton! Meanwhile. Ted reminisced with mea little about that era, shari ng his perception that Division 12 did nOI represent " real clinical psychology;' in the sense that they were a very academ ically oriented group. and not really interested in practice issues. The "real clinicians" belonged to Division 29. where the young. aggressi\.-e. independent practitioners. who felt suppressed and ignored by Division 12. came together to act It was a time of "showing new psychotherapies;' with lOIS of workshops and demonstrations.

At its last meeting. the Executive Bo..'lfd voted funds for a trial period of four monlhs to lest whether the Division could make use of the oUlgoing presidem':-. administ rative assistant .IS a central office resource person. TIle), abodiscussed lht! idea of having the 1970 APA Convelllion program topic for the Division be "Women." Yin Rosenthal, President-elect. discussed with the new program chair. Stephen MOllrerand lheoutgoing Board the idea lhat, in addition to hold ing a BOi.lrd meeting, we have a full-scale Midwinter Convention for Division 29. and they expressed their support of such a plan.

1969- 1970

Among the 1110st significant ~lClions taken by the incoming Executive Board \ .. 'as the establishment of what was to become an annual Divisional activity: a Midwinter Convention of the Division of Psychotherapy, to be held in the ~unny South.

The Di vision's Ad Hoc Commiuee on Psychotherapy Curricu lum's draft of recommendations regarding minimal standards for psychotherapy education in psychology doctoral programs. which was published in the August 1969 Psycho Iherclf)Y Bullelill , was very favorably received by the Board. In the discussion th~1I

• 10 · --------------

took place. suggestion were made for incorpordlion, and another draft was to be prepared for discussion at the 1970 Midwinter meeting.

The first Division 29 Midwinter Convention was held in January, 1970 in Tampa. Aorida. Two hundred members attended. and it was pronounced a great success. It must have been, LO have become an annual event. and to have served, as it did, as a model forother Divisions that have gone on over the years 10 plan simjlar events for themselves.

Among the efforts of the Division this year were two resolutions passed and implemented by the Executi ve Board. involving applying to the Office of Communication Management and Development of APA for funds for the develop­ment offihns Lobe used in the teaching of psychotherapy. and for funds and research assistance in planning and carrying oul several projects in connection with the Tape Library of the American Academy of Psychothempisls. These projects involved audio and video materials as prime components of information media. and dissemination problems.

Other firsts this year included the establishment of a Distinguished Professional Award in Psychology and Psychotherapy. the first of which was presented at the 1970 APA meeting in Miami to Eugene Gendlin. The exchange of letters between President Vin Rosenthal and recipient Gene Gendlin, as printed in the Apri l 1970 ediLion of the Psychotherapy Blilletill. Vol. 3. No. I. pp 20-21. illustrates the warmth, excitement, and aClivities of the Division:

Dear Gene:

You are an irascible, cantankerous. ex.citing, lovable, wise man. You are also the firs t recipient of the Di vision 29's Dislinguished Professional Psychologist Award.

And I am del ighted to be the one LO inform you.

I am asking that you give an invited address at the September. 1970 meetings of the APA at which time the award will be officially conferred.

I hope this gives you joy. I have a big smile on my face as I write this.

Affect ionately.

Vin Rosenthal President . Division of Psychotherapy

--------------------- o lt 0 ---------------------

Dear Vin:

Thank you, and thank you for the very expressive leHer!!! I am happy to accept the award. Whar does it mean?

Sincerely, Eugene T. Gendlin. Ph.D.

Dear Gene:

It means, in the words of Sid Jourard:

''The Executive Board of APA Division 29, the Division of Psycho­therapy, unanimously voted to present Eugene T. Gendlin its first Distinguished Professional Psychologist Award. Gene GendJin wa~ nominated and chosen for this honor because of his untiring efforts at midwifi ng. ram-rodding. nurturing, scolding, worrying. politicking, phi­losophizing and demonstrar ing, that psychotherapy is a proper concern of the American Psychological Association, and that it warrants divisional starus and ajournal. Active as he has been, tirelessly. at theory. research. practice, teaching. and organizational aspects of psychotherapy, he earns the respect and esteem of his colleagues who view him as well with affection."

Sincerely, Vin

The Division, which was cooperating with Division 12 and the Board of Professional Affairs of APA on the Joint Task Force on Evaluation of Psycho­therapy Procedures had formed a Task Force on Developing Minimal Standards for Psychotherapy Education in Psychology Training Programs. Its Research Com­mittee had held a research conference at which a new society for psychotherapy reseauch was fonned, to deal with problems of psychotherapy practitioners and the meaning and value of research to them.

The Committee on Education and Training proposed that Division 29 sponsor the development of a Center for Advanced Studies in Psychotherapy. to provide advanced practitioners an opportunity to meet onceo year fora thrceor four day colloquium, bringing together a group of nat ionally known seniorpsychothera­pists to address specific theoretical issues of psychotherapy.

By theendofits 1969-1970 year.lhelhirdofitsexistence, Division 29 had made significant strides. Its membership in January of 1970 was over 1600, and 21

- 12 -

Fellows had been elected. In addition, 732 membership applications were received and processed in 1970 and subscriptions to the Divisional joumal had reached 3698 by January of 1970. representing a steady growth pattern.

1970-1971

President Vic Rail1lY. in his first P.<;J·cholherapy Blilleti" column proposed that efforts be expended to fonn a coalition with olher Divisions and state associations sharing our concerns regarding national health care pol icies. insurance company policies. public relations for clinicians. etc. Pooling resources. ideas. and energies seemed reasonable to Vic.

At the ~'l idwinter Board Meeti ng. it W'1S agreed unanimously that a campaign be launched (0 secure support to finance a full-time Executi\'eSecrctary with an office in 'Washington. SpeakingofMidwinterMeetings. l am reminded that Ted Blau told me that the meeting was advcnised .1S "29 in the Sun" and forthe first time in 101 years. Tampa, Florida registered a tCl1lper.ature of 29 degrees! But it was a \\'onderfulmecting. anyway!

In looking through this year's progr.lJns in the Division's Hospitali ty Suite. I noted conversation hours which included the follow ing as somcofthespeakers: AI Ellis , Peler athan. Aaron Canter. Yin Rosenthal, l\'1argaret Rioch, Gordon Derner. Hans Strupp, AI Mahrer. George Albee ..... quite a roster!!

As of September of 1971. the Division had attracted over 21XXl members. and applications were coming in a steady stream . New Members.Associate Members and Student Affiliates were welcomed, i1lld 12 Members were granted Fellow status, a new endeavor on the part of the Division (and Hans Strupp, our Fellows Chair.) and one fraught with difficulties as fellowship cri teria developed by the APA ['\,1embershipCommitleedid not seem approprii1teto impose on ourpraclicing psychotherapists.

This year. the Distinguished Psychologist Award went Lo Vic Raimy!

1971-1972

This fifth year for the Division began with Max Siegel's taking over as president. At the incoming Board Meeting held on Sept. 5.1971. an Ad Hoc Commiltee on Non-doctoral Training in Psychotherapy was formed with Arthur L. Km'acs aschair and Ted Blau (East Coast) and Vin Rosenthal (1\'liddle States) as members. They were charged with making site vis its th roughouL the country toexamineAA training programs in psychology or mental health. It was established that the site for Midwinter meetings would be guided by the principle of annual alternation between East and \Vest pans of the country. At this Board meeting. the Publications Committee, chaired by Hedda Bolger. was charged with developing guidelines for -------------- - 13 -

publication policies for Ihe Division. and S350 was cOllLributcd to the Blad. Psychologists organization.

I noted also a $500 donation to the California School of Professional Psycho­logy. It seems that short ly after the founding of CSPP by the California Psychologici.1I Association. the Division of Psychotherapy joined as a co-founder and made a significant contribution to the School's endO\vl11ent. I do not knO\\ exactly when this occurred. but it seemed to me that. since this \\-'<15 the first lime I found a reference to CSPP in lhe reference materials available to me. it might be as good a place as any to note this facL

Division 29 instituted Student Travel Scholarships this year. another APA "first"' for the Division. and one of which we are very proud. Much praise was received from other divis ions. as well as inquiries about our experience with thi " program. As the members of this first selection committee (Ron Fox,chair. Max Siegel and Herb Frcudcnbergcr) indicalcd in their report to the Board. "Ifimitation is the sincerest form of nattery. we may have reason to feel quite flattered at future APA meetings. We can also have the satisfaction of having been instrumental in helping more students become an imegml part of their professional organizalion." This year's winners, who presented atlhe APA convention were:

Marlene Cohen, Fordham U and Sandy Neuschatz. U of Rhode Island. "Therapeutic change in a behaviorally-oriented experimental community;' a symposium

Roseanne Reed ~l11d Shei la Schuster. U of LouisvilJe. "TherJpeutic applications of autogenic training with biofeedback;' ~I symposium

As pan of its new public information program, (he Division released a booklet by Drs. Jules Barron. Ben Fabrikam. and Jack Krasner. entitled Psychotherapy: A Psyc:llO/ogica/ Perspeclil'e. It was written (LI:; a means of providing students. counselors, teachers, adminislr3lOfS. patienls and the public-at-large with a basic understanding of psychotherapy and the role of the psychologist. and includt.xI answers to impoJ1am questions regmding theory. training. practicc, research and education.

The year's Distinguished Psychologisl Award was given to Carl Rogers, theori~t and therapist eXLraordinaire.

At its outgoing Board meeting in Honolulu. in Sept. 1972. a Legislati ve Committee was init iated by President Max Siegel, in collabordtion wi lh the president-elect Julcs Barron. Thecommittec. chaired by Marlon Schillinger. was chi.lrged with functioning as a liaison to CAPPS regarding national legislativt:

It was atlhat meeting thai the Board discussed a request from Dr. Leah Gold Fein, Secretary of the Division. for thcestablishment of a Committee for \Vomen. Despite the argument thal women are often overlooked in organizations, and that women graduate students needed morc femaJe role models. {he Board chose not to eSlablish such a commiltcc. The discussion renected a consensus th"lt women were presently active in the Division and should continue to remain aClive as members. rather than as a special group.

1972-1973

At the incoming Board meeting held on 9-3-72, and chaired by Ihe newly seated President, JuJes Barron. the Publications Policy Committee was dis~oh'ed and the Adminislrmive Committee \vas charged with examination of the structure and function of the Board and a/l of its committees. The Board went on record as instructing its Council Representatives to vote against giving MA level psycholo­gists full membership in APA.

At the December 1972 meeting of CounciL the Di\'ision was represented by Art Kovacs and Gordon Demer~ and by Jack \Viggins and Max Siegel silting in as alternates to Len Pearson and Hans Strupp. who could not attend. Art' s report of lhalmccting gives us a good view of what Division 29 was doing. what positions we were taking. to carry out the ~rceived mandates of our membership. For one. we worked todefe~lt a proposal fromlhe Policy and Planning Board of APA wl1ich wou ld have reorganized APA as a loose confederation. We also opposed changes in Council responsibilities. and were pleased that Council itself assumed respon­sibility for studying the further reorganization of APA. For another we opposed. "al least for the time being"lheentry of the MA psychologisl into full membership in the APA, and ac ted to defuse the MA membership issue by referring it to the membership for a referendum. And we fought for a $20,000 donation by APA to

CAPPS. \\lhiclt was finally passed by a vote of over two to one. with accompanying cheers on the noor of Council.

This was another successful year for the Division. The Midwinter Meeting. held in Freeport under the direction of Vin Rosenthal, was attended by about 400 people. Our annual programs .H APA Convention (Herb Freudenberger. Program chair) were greUler in number than ever before. and the quality was outstanding. Our pre­Convention workshops were led by Drs. Cyril M. Franks and Victor E. Frankl. and excellent Conversation Hours were held in our hospitality suite. The Executive

Board discussed the many issues confronting professional and applied psycholo­gis ts. and gave serious consideraLion to the matter of effeclive action. It seemed 10 the Board that if we combined our energies and resources in Lhe common cause 01 our mutual concerns and interests. we \a.·ould markedly increase Lhe probability of success. And so. the Di vision of PsychOlherclpy. under the leadership of il~ president. Jules Barron, innovated the formal ion of an In terdivisional Committee for Professional and Applied Psychology, composed of 10 Divisions and represen­lalives from lhe APA Cenlral Ollice and CAPPS. In April of 1973 Ihe Di vision issued an invitalionto Presidents and Presidents-elect of Divisions 12. 1 3~ 16. 17. 22. 29.30. 3 1. and 32 to panic ipme in a special inLerdivisional con ference of professional and appl ied psychology hosted by Division 29 in Juneof 1973 in New York C ity. the Board having voted the funds fo r hotel accomodations. meet ing room. ;'Illd lunch. The agcnda wassel to involve idemilicmioll of problem areas and issues. ~lIld to dctermine ways of laking the kinds of action that would sensitively and producti vely achieve solut ions on behalf of our special ized concerns and our larger association of psychologists. Dr. Barron was e lected Pre.sident of the group. Jack Krasner was e lected Secretary. and further mcctings were scheduled.

And the Division won another seat on Council. bringing to fi\-·e the number of people representing LIS at thc August 1973 meet ing of Council. Speaking of Council. Division 29 participmcd in the push to hold an emergency meC:tino of _ e

profess ionals tapes on psychoLherapy by outstandi ng psychologists. Jack Chwast was busily arranging for regional programs sponsored by Lhe Division, which were greeted with greal success. Via its Committee on Education and Training. the Division was taking the initiative by working towards the evaluaLion of post­graduate Lraining fac ilities in psychotherapy, and was charged with sLudying the posssibility of the Di\'ision 's setLing up accredi tation procedures. itself. for post graduate training programs in psycholherapy. And the Subdoctoral Training Program committee's final report was presented on the need and structure of such training. The Research Comm iuee was also actively involved, developing research regarding psychotherapy. The Public Information Commillee initiated a series of radio panel programs aimed at educaLion of the public regarding psychologist­psychotherapists. And the Membership Comminee processed and recommended to Lhe Board approximately 500 new members for the Division, noting Lhat by lhe end of the year the membership was about 3000. GrowLh continued!

The Distinguished Psychologisl Award lhis year went to Alben Ellis and Hans Strupp! It seems that it was impossible to choose between them ... and that descript ions of their contributions would be "de LrOp:'

The committee LhaL had been established by President Max Siegel to consider issues of Fellow stalUS concluded Ihalthe Fellow calegory no longer fulfilled the function for which it was originally creared. and that rhe current procedures for nominating. selecting and recommending candidat.es were unworkable. Other Divisions in addit ion to ours had experienced si milardifficullies over the years. and numerous task forces and commilLees had failed to deve lop workable solutions. IL was recommendcd that the membership bepolled by mail bal lot regarding abolition of the Fellow category. and. should Fellow status be retained, that considerat ion be given to other altematives.

Publications flourished this year and included: a Directory of Post-Doctoral Tr.lining Facililies, 3rd Edit ion, Arnold Rachman and Priscilla Kauff.

Linda Lifur. California State U. "The Possibility of Licensing Adulls to Have Children," a symposium

As Jules Barron put it in his last presidential column in the Psychotherapy Bullet;lI , "Si nce our inception as a division.lhat was born of PIAP, we have been a significant force in the psychological revolution. While fighting for the legitimacy of professional psychology we have tried to maintain our scient ific heritage."

1973-1974

This was the ye.:1.r of Gordon Derner's presidency. and it was another productive year. In keeping with its by-now-established pattern of being in the forefront. Division 29 became incorporated on October 2. 1973. and was working on securing 50IC(6) lax exempt slatus from the Internal Revenue Service. (Vie got it, though I do not know exactly when.)

Jack Krasner and his Public Information Commillee were working towards developing radio programs which included panels sponsored by Division 29. llleSC

panels. begun in Sept. of 1973 were to continue for atleasl a full year of broadcasting, and were heard on Sunday mornings in the New York metropolitan area. One of them was submitted for a special public service radio award~

The 1974 Midwinter meeting. held in San Diego with Dr. Karl Pottharstaschair. was the best altended meeting to dare (650-700 people,) and was enriched by the cooperative efforts of the California School of Professional Psychology and the California Psychological Associal ion. II was at this meeting that what carne 10 be known as the Committee For ¥/omen was born.

The Distinguished Psychologist Award was given posthumously to Haim Ginott.

The Committee on Student Travel Fellowships. afler two years of experience. recommended to the Board that the student awards become an ongoing and pennanent annual event, the funds to be given to help students travel to APA conventions to present notewonhy scholarly offerings as par1 of the Division's program. TIle Board officially adopted this awards program, with this year' s winners to present at the 1974 APA meetings. The winners were:

Karen Corbin. M.A., CSPP Los Angeles and Da,id Corbin, M.A. Fuller School of Psychology. Pas.1dena. '"rhe Psychodrama of Death," an experiential workshop designed to help professionals.

Vicky M. Mays. M.A .. Chair, U of Massachuseus, Amherst. Supo Laoscbekan,Loyola U., and Hern)an H. Lewis. U. of Mass, Amherst A symposium on ··Psychotherapy. Graduate Training. and the Black Student."

Estelle Parnes>, :I<I.A .. CSPP. A paper '"rhe Play of the Dying Child"

The Division wa~ enjoying the success of its journal, but since Dr. Gendlin was retiring as Editor. a Search Committee was fonned to find a wonhy successor. Dr. Gendlin agreed to serve for two more years, and the Search Committee was charged with reporting to the Board at the 1975 Midwinter meeting.

The Division sponsored aClivecommillees which kept themembersh ip aware of what was happening in tenns of issues such as freedom of choice, and independence for psychologists from the supervision of "medical review:' This was the year in which APA 's Council ofRepresent3tives voted to establish an organization called the American Association of Psychologists, to function as a legal- legislative advocacy body. The Executive Board of Division 29 unanimously endorsed AAP. while also urging continued support of CAPPS while AAP "tooled up." The Board also voted to support the APA Council Representatives' resolution reaffirming CAPPS' activities in its litigation against the Blues.

A donation of S 1500 was made available for the Commit1ee on Legislative Activity (COLA.) the newly established standing commil1ee of APA charged with monitoring federal legislation and bureaucratic regulations with a view towards making recommendations for involving the APA in legislative programs as appro­

priate.

Apparently, the membersbip voted 10 retain Fellow status, because I noted, in my reading, that lhe Fellows Committee. chaired by Hans Strupp. was developing criteria for Fellows for Board consideration. The Education and Training Commit­tee. chaired by Sam Kutash. \vas working on standards for Post-Doctoral tmining progmms. and the Creative Contributions Committee's second volume was taken

over by the Social and Basic Science Book Club and volume 3 was in process.

This was the year that the Psychotherapy Bulletin had its first woman editor (Conslance Nelson.) I also noted in the Bullelin a column entitled "News of Members." Any connection?? The personal infonnation was nice to read about. President Nixon's stock went up in my eyes when I read, for example. that he had appointed Joe Matarazzo to the new Board of Regents of the new Unifonned Services University of the Health Sciences. Congratulations were extended to the wives of Iwo board members - Mrs. Vin Rosenthal and Mrs. Jules Barron (Nina) ­who were currently enrolled ingraduate Psychology programs, and Vin Rosenthal' \ edi torship of Voices. the journal of the American Academy of Psychotherapists. wa ... noted.

Jules Barron was appoinled by APA Presidenr Bandura from Division 2910 the Commiueeon the Relationship of Divisions to APA. The Committee among other items was to study and make recommendations regarding the relationsh ip between incorporated divisions of lhe Association and the possible necessity of a fuller report of divisional, financial , and other activities of the Association.

At its final meeting, the outgoing Executive Board of Division 29 VOled to send a check to the Virginia Psychological Association in support of their case against Ihe Blues. While up 10 $2500 had been aUlhorized earlier, S IOOO was as much" the Division 's financial condition would allow at this time.

1974-1975

The Presidenl, Art Kovacs (Arthur L., officially,) was asked by the Board al ~lC above-mentioned meeting, to write to the Chair of the APA Membership Committee requesting a meeting of the Division 29 Fellows Committee with the Membership Committee to discuss the issue of Fellow status. Rejection of Division 29 Fellow applications frequently had hinged on publication credits. not seen as approprintc c riteria forthis Division. Drs. Strupp, Krasner and Barron met with the Membership Committee in September of 1974, and worked out some criteria for election of Fellows in Division 29. At the Midwinter Board meeting, An Kovacs was selected as the next 10urnal editor, Student Travel Scholarship Award winners were designated, and the decision was made to shift the Division's workshops from the APA Convention to the Midwinter meetings, because of what was seen as a coming trend of increasi ng numbers of competing pre-APA offerings.

Attention was addressed to thorny issues around the Division's incorporation. the way in which the journal had been filing an independent tax return though il belonged to the Division, APA's looking with disfavor upon Divisions which incorporated independently, and similar issues. Legal counsel was to be soughl Items relating to the Council of Representatives agenda were discussed, so thai

The Sludenr Scholarship winners, who presenred al APA in 1975 were Theodore G. Falcon, David M. Young. and Lynn Johnson and David Blair. Unfortunalely, the titles of their presenl<uions seem to have been lost. Lost, too. is the citation that went with the posthumous awarding of our Distinguished Psychologist Award to

Sid Jourard, chis year.

This was the year in which Ernst Beier took over as Psychotherapy Bulletin editor. the year in which the Committee for the Treatment of the Aged was established with Carol Dye as chair, and the year in which the Committee for \Vornen became official. its goals were developed~ and Joy Kenworthy was designated its chair. The CF\V was tenHlti"'ely charged with ex"lmining whal is transmitted to women clients in psychotherapy. directions taken in terms of role, function , sexuality, etc. Additionally. it was charged with helping in the integration of women into a full leadership role in the governance of the Division.

Division 29's Commiltee on Health lnsurance (COHl,) chaired by Jack Wiggins. was busy cooperating with a.nd assisting APA's COHI in its negotiations with insurance companies and governmenl agencies regarding the use of psycho­therapy by psychologists. and in negotiating and implementing specific insurance contracts regarding the use of psychotherapy in treating health condi tions. This was the year in which clarification was achieved about the status of psychologists regarding Disability Determinations under the Social Security Administration rules. There was also ongoing active lobbying for freedom of choice legislation, and work with unions aimed at convincing them to include psychologists in their

insurance contracts.

By August of 1975.lhe Division ofPsychothcmpy ''''as big business, with annual income and expenditures of approximalely $50,000. To enhance and facili tate the quality and effectiveness ofits work. and to maximize financial economy, it seemed that changes in the way the Division operated might be in order. A Central Office which would bring togelher the functions of the Division, would. it was anticipated. eliminate duplication of actions and minimize the possibility of conflicting act ivi ­ties. Additionally, communication with the membership would be fac ilitated, and official mailings wou ld be eligible for lower poslage costs. A Central Office, as envisioned, would serve as a clearing house for infonnation. and would assume routine functions of many comminees. freeing committee persons to concentrate on the creative and professional aspects of their duties..

II was at this final Board meeting of the year that the Board voted to establish, for a two-year trial period. a Central Office in the Nev! York/New Jersey area to

• 21 • --------------

administer the activities of the Division. At the end of its first year. the operation was to be reviewed. The Board also voted. at the request of Treasurer Stanley Graham. 10 change the Division's fiscal year to the calendar year. thereby making budget creation. among other things. a more manageable process.

1975-1976

Another busy and productive year for the Division steered by Jack Krasner! Laura Barbanel agreed to chair the newly formed History Committee. and Ted Reiss's International Committee was trying to find ways to relmc to our colleagues in different countries and exchange information. TheCommiuee For Women was weighing and discussing theadvisabi lily oflrying tocstablish itself as aSection, and the Program Commitlee, led by Aaron Canter. was effective in providing exci ting convention offerings.

Jack Krasner was appointed Administrative Coordinator of the Central Office, with an honorarium of $1500 per year for two years.

In 1976, the Division increased its Council Representatives from lhecllrrent five to six. though that number was to be decreased to five the next year. and had been only four the year before. These ups and downs seemed to be typical. and suggested the need 10 make a poinl of soliciting apportionment ballot votes fmm the membership each year.

The 1976 Distinguished Psychologist Award went to Nick Cummings, an innovator and leader in the field whose accomplishments are legion!

The Student Scholarship Awards went to the following individuals. who presented at Ihe 1976 APA meetings:

K. David Schultz, Roben Kreuger. Joshua Auerbach - "Conscious Control of Consciousness as Therapeutic Aim and Technique."

Marion Walker - "Effect of Clinical Supervision on Therapeutic Attitude of Supervisee:'

Michael Feuerstein - "Training of Psycho-physiological Therapists."

Julia Lewis - 'Therapy With Hi-risk Schizophrenic Families."

On the issue of "sexual intimacies bet\\ieen client and therapist" the Division resolved that physiC4.l1 contact aimed al eroticstimulalion and/or gratification ofth t: therapist and/or the client is in and of itself an unethical action for the psychothcfi.l­pis!. The Division also reaffirmed its support of then current ethical standards on

advenising and its desire that these be upheld. A S500 contribution was pledged to

support and encourage the Ohio School of Professional Psychology. And a recommendation was made that the incoming president, Carl Zimet, app:>int a task force to review and to fonnulate levels and panems of training and practice for psychotherapy and fomlUl.te some guidel ines that could be introduced into APA structure through our Council Representatives.

At the final Executive Board meeling on Sept. I, 1976, a $50,000 budgel was approved. h was recommended that our Council Representatives petition the Council to formally approve continuing the operation of the Division's joumal,(already in existence for 13 years, and actually predating our attaining Divisional status in APA.) and also that they request that the Council establish an Office of Divisional Affairs in APA. We were delighted with the election of Ted Blau, one of our past presidents. as President-elect of APA .... the first practitioner tobechosen. we believe. Ted would be serving asAPA president in 1977. Ted !Old me that some people considered Abe Maslow the first practirionerpresident. but that he - and Maslow - thought that was ridiculous!

Another of our past presidents. Max Siegel, who was serving as a Council Representative for us, was elected to lhe APA Board of Directors. during this year. Max was retained on our Board by the creation of a "SeniorConsultant" seat forhim, which he filled until 1978.

1976-1977

Carl Zimetassumed the presidency of adynamic and growing Division. He used his presidential columns in the PSJchothefllfJY Bulletin to inform the membership regarding issues of importance: for example, the Masters Degree psychotherdpist. and NIMH plans which would have ended training support for progrclms in various areas of psychology. NIMH changed its position. and was clearly responsive to Dr. Zimet's column. \Vhich made us feel effective and efficient in using our power to shape our profession.

This was (he year in which three new committees were formed: Bylaws (Fred Spaner. chair.) Professional Affairs (Herb Freudenberger, chair.) and finance (Jack Krasner, chair.) And the Committee on International Relations. the Religion and Psycholherapy Committee the Study Committee on Ethical Issues, and the Task Force on Standards for the Practice of Psychotherapy were discharged with thanks. The Public Infomlation and Education committee reported that about 70 radio and TV shows across (he coumry had featured members of Division 29.

We noted that Ohio psychologists were successful in obtaining passage ofa bill by their legislature establishing a school of professional psychology at \\fright State University. Division 29's early backing of the idea with a financial contribution

• 23 •

- and spiritual support - was seen by the Oh ioans as instrumental in soliciting help from other professional groups. The Division was also continuing its erfon~ to press for the passage of bills including psychololgislS in Medicare.

In terms of housekeeping. Jack Krasner was serving as Administrative Coordi­nator. in charge ofthe Division' s Central Office. on an interim basis , until a decision was made regarding one of three proposals: 10 have a Secrelary-Treasurer: a new Centra l Office: or a Professional Administrator. And on recommendation of the journal editor, An Kovacs. no action was taken by the Board of Directors regardi ng incorporating the Divis ion's journal.

The Committee for Woman, chaired by Hannah Lerman. decided to drop the ideaofSectionstalUs,and toconcenlrat.eon its agenda within thecurrelH framework . They were devising a quest ionnaire to be sent to the membership to gather data regarding men's and women's professional life styles. The Commillee decided that energies should be directed towards helping women to prepare presentations both for Midwinler and APA Convention meetings. A subcommittee with liaison to the Program Comm ittee was established and charged with developing gu idel ines for program preparat ion to be published in the Psychotherapy Bulletin for member~ and to be made avai lable to new members joi ning the Division. \Vhile the idea was generated in re lat ion to the perceived need for women to acquaint themselves with the process. it was felt that this could prove to be of interest to men as well.

At the Midwinter meeting, the Board moved a statement to communicate to appropriate persons and legis latures urging passage of the Equal Rights Amend­ment and indicated that "This Board would fi nd it very difficult tosuppon meetings in a state that has not ratified ERA:' The Divis ion also sent a letter to the Florid,-l state legislature informing them that we would not return for another Midwinter meeting as long as the Florida Legislature failed to pass the Equal Rights Ame nd­ment. In response to concerns brought totheiranention by the CfV..'. the Divis ion. al its Annual Business meeting, voted to advise the Arizona legislature that while it was too late locancel our plans to hold the 1978 Midwinter Meeting in Scottsdale. Arizona, in the future we would boycolt Arizona un less their negat ive stance regarding the ERA was changed.

At the 1977 Midwinter meeting. one of (he innovations was the formation of a voluntee r panel of supervisors available for individual and small group consultation during the meeti ngs. Another was the presentation of a Master Lecture serie!' dealing with philosophic and prrofessional issues in the work ohhe psychothem­pist.

The 1977 Distinguished Psychologist Award went to Gordon Derner. for his many contributions to the teaching and training of psychotherapists in the country's first professional school of psychology, at Adelphi Universi ty.

It \vas in the Spring of 1977 that the policy of publishi ng statements from candidates running for Divisional office in the PJ)'chotirerapy Bill/eli" was initi­ated. \Vhen the Division's elec tion results \ .... ere announced this year. it was in teresting 10 see that still another woman had been elected to the Board of Directors. making a total ofthrce female members-at- Iarge (Irma Lee Shepherd, AnneHe Brodsky. and Rachel Hare-Mustin) plus two women officers (albei t secrel.'lf)' and treasurer) G loria GOllsegen and Ella Lasky. At the final Board meeting on 8-24-77. the completed CF\V brochure material written by Matty Canter and Ellen McGrath and entitled: "Program Devclomcnl - Your Gu ide to Getting it On" was presented. and it was agreed that it be published both in the Psychotherapy Bulletill . Vol. I J #1. and as a brochure to be distributed to new members. AlsolObepublished in that issue were the resultsoft.he survey conducted bY lhe CFW.

1977- 1978

NOled in the news was the fact that another of our past presidents. Nicholas A. Cummings, was elected President-elect of APA , his presidency tenn to be in 1979. How proud we were ! (And how nice it would have been if we could havchad access toa crystal ball and been able to tell this year's Division president. Stanley Graham. that he \\-'ould be President of APA in 1990!!)

It \'l~'s interesting to note that our Bulletill editor. Ernst Beier. had invited Norn13n L. Farberow to submit a paper on Mental Health Response to Major Disasters. whidl was published in the Fall 1977 issue. (As I write. in 1992. aware of all that our Di vision has contributed in relation to Desert Stonn and its sequalia, this seems pal1ic ularly s ignificant in tenns of our view of Division 29 as being on the CUlling edge!)

llle 1978 Midwintcr Meeting was held in Scollsdale. Arizona. on March 1-4. Its theme. "The Family of Psychotherapies," represented interest in exploring the

diversi ty of current psychotherapeutic approaches while simultaneously identify­ing the common family ties which provide our shared identity and a basis for appreciating both similarilies and differences. A consultation/peer discussion program similar to the format developed for the 1977 Midwinter meeting was also offered. In protesl against Arizona's failure to pass the Equal Rights Amendment . a discussion was held at the meeting by a panel which included local ERA supporters. At its Midwinter Board meeting. The Board voted to prinl 1000 copies ofthe CFW's brochure, "Program Development - Your Guide to Getting It On' for dislribut ion 10 new members and 10 make it available to all in the Oi"ision'\ Hospitality SuileattheAPA Convention. Ron Fox was in chargeofthat Midwinter meeting, and I did the Local Arrangements. So I remember part.icularly well that colleagues coming to the meeting were greeled by what was called, by the natives. "the 100 year nood" - I recall thaI I kepte.pressing my regrets (not responsibil ity, just regrets) to everyone for the sunless. wet weather during the first couple of days. And then. thank goodness, ittumed "typical!"

This was the year that we fonned our first Ethnic Minorities Committee. reactivated our Research Committee. and our president. Stanley Graham, convened a Committee of Young Turks - later called the Members Forum - to encourage communication, innovation, and greater participatjon among members. This wa'\ also the year that the Finance Committee was reorganized, placed under the chainnanship oflhe Treasurer. and charged with the responsibility of preparing an annual budget to present to the Board of Directors for approval. Gloria Gottsegen was appointed Administrative Coordinator of the Division 's Central Office, and:t Committee on Reorganizalion was appointed to develop several alternative plan ' for the structure of the Division. The Bylaws committee was hard at work , including on its agenda the elimination of sexist language from the Bylaws and u consider3l ion of Sections. And our lournal issued its first Special Issue 011

"Personality of the Psychotherapist."

Ellen McGrath, Program Chair, instituted a formal procedure for evaluation of submissions for the APA program, each program being rated by three independent reviewers with expertise in the area under consideration.

Division 29's COHI had a busy year negotiating with labor unions. and thell work resulted in the inclusion of psychologists in the United Air Linesconlracts for both salaried and hourly workers. Dr. Gene Shapiro of COHl and Dr. Herbert Dorken provided testimony 10 the Federal Trade Commission regarding psychology's economic loss resulting from the restraint of trade practices of the National Association of Blue Shield Plans. ThcCOH I report also addressed AAP' , complaint 10 the Federal Trade Commission about 1CAH guidelines for hospital privi leges.

Division 29 appointed a Task Force to develop an in·house legal office and siaff within APA. and the Division's support of APA's doing so was communicated to the APA Board of Directors.

At the August 1978 Board meeting the Treasurer announced that the Division 's 1979 budget of$149,000 was the largest of any Division in APA. A donation to an ERA benefit was approved. And the following slatement on reproductive freedom

was passed by the Execut ive Board:

Childbearing is an event that has the 1110st profound consequences in the life of a woman. Even when a pregnancy is sought after and pre­pared for, a woman's life is inevitably altered when she bears a chi ld. The sharpest foresight fall short of predicting the scope of the parenting experience that invariably demands more than the best prepared anticipate.

'\Vhen faced with an unsought and unwanted conception, there is no more reliable an index than the woman's self-assessment of her prepared­ness to bear a child. No law. practice or circumstance should be allowed to discount her perception and force a woman 10 bear a chi ld against her will.

Although e lected parenthood does not guarantee beneficial outcomes. forced parenting forecasts the grimmest psycho-sociaJ resulls. Women given no oplion to an unwanted conception are physically and emotion­al I}' jeopardized and their opLions for progressi vesel f -direction are critical I y imperiled.

\Ve are particularly distressed by the present governmental c limate wherein poor and disadvantaged women are speci fically and differen· tially excluded from the possibilities for abortion of unwanted pregnan­cies which are now available only 10 the more advantaged.

Laws, policies or practices which force or favor unwanted childbearing detract markedly from goals of improved menial health by contributing to the damaged self-.conceplS which are the anathema of a healthy so· ciety. In the case of the pregnant woman, she suffers loss of control of her body and her self. I n the case of the unwanted child, the potential for suffering the effects of chi ld abuse and neglect are enhanced and the potential for delinquency enhanced.

Once again. the Division was taking a courageous stand on a public interest

issue!

And this year, the Distinguished Psychologist Award went to Jack Krasner.

1978-1979

Jack Krasner died on October 6. 1978. His loss was keenly felt, and a memorial program in his honor was held at the Midwinter Meetings in Mexico City in February of 1979. The Jack D. Krasner Memorial Fund was established 10 honor his memory. The monies collected for this continuing fund were invested and the proceeds of the investment were to be awarded as an annual prize. As formulated initially, this prize was to go to a member ofthe Division of Psychotherapy with a doctorate awarded no more than 10 years prior to receipt oflhe award, who had made or was making unusually significant conLribution(s) in psychotherapy research, theory or practice.

An Ad Hoc Commitlee to study the nominations and elections procedures of the Division was appoinled by President Bob Harper. with Rachel Hare-Mustin as Chair, and was directed to prepare recommendations for Bylaws changes. Ellen McGrath and the Program Committee were hard at work systematizing an evaluation procedure, with forms developed by the committee and provided to program attendees for completion.

The APA had received a one-year contract from rMH toconduct an assessment of research on psychotherapy and women leading to recommendations for future research, with the project being a cooperative effort of the Diy. of the Psychology of Women and APA's Women's Programs Office. Division 29 '8 CFW appointed Joy Kenworthy to represent us at the conference being held. In recognition of tllC

importance of this conference, the Division voted a travel supplement for her. Thc CFW was also working hard to disseminate and implement the "Principles Con­cerning the Counsel ing and Therapy of v.'omen," developed by the Division 17 (Counseling) Ad Hoc Committee on \Vomen with contributions from many

· 28 · -------------

Division 29 members. and endorsed by Division 29. The CFW chair. Jaquie Resnick, noted in one of her reports that Division 29 had been in the forefront of standing up for equal righls by passing its own resolution to hold its mid-winter conference only in those states which had Idtified the ERA.

I'd also like ( 0 mention that this year the Division made a 5250 contribution to the Committee Against Defamation of Scholars ...... and iliat in response to a questionnaire from APA regarding reorganization. we responded emphatically against a split and for an intact APA.

Gloria Gotlsegen , going on sabbatical in June of 1979. gave up her post as Administrative Coordinator. and Ben Fabrikant agreed to assume thosedutics. The Committee on Reorgani z.ation of the Division. chaired by Annene Brodsky, recommended that the secretary and treasurer positions not be combined. that a Central Office be maintained, and lhal a non-psychologist staff it. It was in the minutes of the Executive Board Meeting held on 3·1-79 that the name of Rhoda Schneider first appeared as an example of the type of office manager being suggested. The location of the Central Office was to be researched funher, m particular regarding the possible advantages of locating near APA. But a study of Central Office relocation revealed that moving to \Vashington would about double ourcosts. and the Board voted to remain in New Jersey for at least another two years.

Ju les Barron was appointed as Division 29's representative to a Div. 12 Commission charged with drafting criteria for Fellow staluS appropriate to clinicians. (Some issues never seem to get resolved ..... )

Thanks to a special assessment, the Division covered its expenses for the year. But we were facino a 1980 deficit budget This with a membership which stood at 3803 in July of 1979. including 128 Fellows! The Board \'oted to raise the Division assessment 10$25 in 1980. and to keep the 10urnal as a freesubscriplion to members. This was the fi rst assessment increase in 10 years. and it would keep our budget balanced while allowing the Oi vision to continue its work, providing direction and services appropriate to the Division of Psychotherapy.

This year's Distinguished Psychologist Award went to Max Siegel, in recogni­tion of his many conlTibutions as an academic and a practitioner. And the Student Travel Awards for presentations at the 1979 APA Convention went to:

Richard C. Baker, University of New Mexico, '''The Effect of Length of Session on the Development of Relationships: A Psychotherapy Analogue"

1979-1980:

Jack Wiggins was president of our Division this year. and led us through a year of growth and purposeful activity. By 1980. the Division's budget was almost $ 180.(X)(), and we were solvent ! Ben Fabrikant was functioning as our Administrative Coordinator. with Rhoda Schneider as his able secretary. and the Division had a payrol l! Under the leadership of Jules Barron, we were developing a Psychotherapy brochure. and working on the third volume of Creative Developments (\".ilh Barron as senior editor.) Ernst Beier resigned as Bulletin Editor. and Ben Fabrikant was selected to replace him. And the Journal published a Special Issue on "Values in Psychotherapy. ,.

It was at the February Board meeting that Vin Rosenthal received a special award "for his foresie.ht. vision and dedication in initiating, developing and nurturing the Division':'s Midwinler Meetings from 1970-1973, :md Jules Barron was selected 10 receive the Di,·ision's Distinguished Psychologist Award. Also at that lime, the composition of the nominating committee was changed. on recom­mendation of Rachel Hare-Mustin.and under lhe new system, the Nominations and Elections Commillee was to be chaired by the President-Elect. v.:ith lwo members elected by the Board and two appointed by Ihe President from the membership at large. Concerns about reimbursement policies for women' s and children's psycho­ther'J.py were routed by theCF\V Lo a Division 29commitlec. chaired by Max Siegel. to investigate the issues involved. Our Program Committee, chaired by Ellen McGrath with Alice Rubenstein as Associate chair had done a remarkably fine job, and the Board of Convention Affairs had requested the forms they had developed and the brochure done by Canter and McGrJ.lh. to use as models for other Divisions. The Commillee on Group Psychotherapy was preparing 10 apply for Section status and "Burnout" writlen hy Herb Freudenbergcrcame out and appeared in a full-page ad in the New York Times, placed by the publisher. Doubleday.

By the August 1980 Board meeling. at the close of the 1979-80 year, the Division decided to combine the journal' s business/clerical funct ions and locale them in the Central Office of the Division. and the policy \V~IS establ ished at this meeting that chairsof standingcommiuees be reimbursed for attendanceat' Midwinter meetings.

At the Council Meeti ng, arevision oflhe APA Ethical Principles ,,,\s discussed. and postponed till the adjourned meeting in early 198 1. There was also heated discussion on the floor of Council about the fomlation of a new Division, the Division of Independent Pr'dctice. Council approved the formation ofa Division of Psychology and L.1W. bUl defeated the formation of an Independent PrJ.clice

· 30 · ---------------------

Division. \Vhile a majority of Council favored its establishment, they did not constitule the two-thirds majority necessary for appro\·aJ. The defeat was widely interpreted by supporters of a new division, many of whom were members of the Division of Psychotherapy, as a direct vote by academic-research interests against private pract ice interesLS in APA. Many old wounds were opened during the discussions. and issues ofthe need for APA reorganization were raised.

Looking at the Bulletins o f the Division, I was struck by the breadth of concerns addressed: concerns of practitioners regarding substantive psychotherapeutic issues: reimbursement and insurance mallers; organizational concerns regarding the profession; masters level psychotherapists. etc. etc. elc.

1980-1981

Our president, Herb Freudenberger, was writing in the Bulletin about "burn­out:' and urging us as a division to be sensitive to our col leagues. and to further the development and improve the competence of younger colleagues not only via continuing education opportunities at our Midwinter and national meetings, bur also via encouraging their participation in Divisional governance.

As of January I. 198 1. all Journal business operations were being conducted out of the Division's Central Office in River Edge. ew Jersey. How many of us remember sending correspondence to Helen Merwede, Journal Business Manager, Division of Psychotherapy, at 9 12 Kinderkamack Rd. in River Edge?

The January 198 1 meeting of Council was memorable. Roberts' Rules of Order were replaced by Keesey's Modem Parliamentary Procedure. And fi nally a new code of ethics was adopted, after much discllss ion, revision, and debate. It was at this meeting, too. that Di vision 42. the Di vis ion of Independent Practice was established. As described by one of our Council Representatives. Ron Fox, "Fo llowing heated. impass ioned, and, occasionally, enlightened argument on behal f ofthe new division by Council reps from Di"ision 29, 12 and numerous state associations, the opposition was eroded ....•• (Oops, I forgot to reference this - but I did see it in prinl. )

At the 198 1 Midwinter Board meeti ng. resolutions v,,'ere passed in support of generic licensure for psychologisrs, with cert ification authorizing the use of specialty tilles t~ be reserved for psychologists who previously had met statutory requirements for generic licensure and with the adoption of a position opposing nonstatutory credemialing or specialty credentialing as alternatives to generic licensure. The Board also communicated to the APA Board of Directors and the Counci l its support for the prompt implementat ion and continuance o f an effective mechanism for publicly identifying doctoral training programs in psychology, recommending th:ll such a mechanism be based upon objective criteria for program

evaluation and conslituled with inter-organizational representat ion from educa­tional. professional. and credentialing bodies; that such a mechanism not be limited to the des ignation of clinical. counseling. and school psychology programs or programs educating health service provider psychologists.

Di scussion also centered around the Di vision' s proceeding with explorarions of the commission of a non-technical paper showing the efricacy of verbal psycho­therapy; another derailing the implicat ions or the cost offsel in efficacy of psychotherapy in health care. ta rgeting businessmen. labor leaders, and workers; and one distinguishing psychotherapy from welfare. written from a business point of view. It was hoped thm these papers would illuminate psychotherapy's potential cont ri butions to the educationaL judiciary, and penal systems, and to the develop­ment of a stable society through resolving conflicts within marriages and families. The Board voted $ 10.000 for the wriling of these posi tion papers and $5000 for a Task Force on Psychotherapy Research. being hopeful of matchi ng funds from APA 's Board of Directors for this efricacy project.

There was also need expressed for a behavioral classifica tion system as a reimbursement :.J1 temalive to DSM III , a class ification system tied to trea tment outcome ralher than to descriptive symptomatology.

Dr. Art Teicher had spearheaded a dri ve Lo form a Grollp Psychothempy Section within the Division. and at the Midwinter Board meeting. its fonnntion \vas approved in principle. And I noted lhat the Journal" s Special Issue for 1981 was on ''Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy."

It was also at thi s Board meeting dlaLlhe quest ion was raised about exploring the inclusion of other Divisions or APA in our Mid\vinter planning. The Board voted that Kay Standley. chai rofthe 1982 Midwintermeetingcontacl Divisions J 2, 39 and 42 as well as the American Group Psychotherapy Assn. to explore the idea of a joint Midwinter meeting.

Candidates for ortice this early in the decade were al l ta lking about the need for the Division to serve in APA as a major voice for psychotherapy as a science and profession, to maintain its proactive stance in fostering the acceplanceof psycholo­gists as psychotherapists, and to work for social programs to contribute to the publ ic good. Presentations \vere focus ing on the need to in fluence public policy affecting health service providers. on the promotion of mental health as well as the prevention of mental illness, and, at home. on APA organization and the complex issues faci ng psychotherapy. These issues were seen as requiring broad understanding and a wi lli ngness to make difficult decisions regardingslandards foreduc..1tion, training. practice and research in psychother..t.py. and to reflect the emerging needs of various groups and their effect on the fami ly and society. The Division had the foresight to

· 32 •

investigate the concept of a model ational Professional School program which would integrate training in professional psychology with public policy.

By-Laws changes were voted this year, which provided for student affiliates, developed a mechanism for establishi ng and maintaining Sections, added to and described standing committees, and made changes in the nominations and elections procedures. The following Ad Hoc Commiuees were designated as standing committees: Fellows, Continuing Education. Finance, Publications Board, Com­mittee For Women. and Elhnic 1inorities. The defunct Ethics Committee was deleted.

A search committee, chaired by Carl Zimet. was set up to find a new editor for the Journal, and the revised By-Laws were adopted. with a large vote of thanks to Annette Brodsky for this work. The Publications Board completed its pubLic information brochure on psychotherapy, written by Jules Barron and Ben Fabrikant and called "Psychotherapy and Psychologists" and the Creative Contributions publication effort was tenninated.

At the final Board meeting held in August of 1981 at APA Convention, the president highlighted some of the year's activities: an upcoming meeting of the officers of professional div isions to be held dUffing APA convention; the establish­ment of a National Commission on Mental Health; work in progress on the possibility of a National Professional School; an active, visible Ethnic Minorities Committee: establish ment of a Committee on Contracting and Informed Consent~

the Division's joining the Public Interest Coalition; the establishment of a liaison to Division 16; and the opening oflhe l\·1idwinter meeting to added sponsors. Karen Zager. History chairperson, ra ised questions concerning the submission of historic documents to the APA archives, and it was suggested that a legal opinion be solic ited from APA regarding possible privacy issues where certain correspon­dence, for example, is concerned.

At the 1981 Convention, Student Travel Scholarships were once again awarded, the winners presenting their papers at APA:

Lynn Rehm. Nadi ne Kaslow, and Adele Rabin. U. of Houston

Mavis Tsai, U. of California

Laura Schnaps and Richard Mc Keon, U. of Arizona

The 198 1 Distinguished Psychologist Award went to Carl Zimel. as deserving a recipient as could be wished for ! And the first Jack D. Krasner Memorial Award was shared by Annette M. Brodsky and Gerald P. Koocher.

1981-1982

Many exciting things happened during the presidency of Ronald E. Fox! The 1982 Midwinter Meeting of Division 29 marked a first: a co-sponsor! Division 42 had accepted OU f invitation 10 join us in 1982 in Monterey. California, and the meeting was a very successful partnership ... so successful that the Board voted that from 1983 on, the Midwinter Meeting would be ajoint meeting of Divisions 29 and 42, the Divisions of Psychotherapy and of Independent Practice of APA.

This was also the year in which we officially establ ished our first Seclion: Group Psychotherapy. Chaired by Arf Teicher, with Jules Barron as Secretary, Harold Greenwald as Treasurer. and Morris Goodman. Bert Schwartz, Fern Azima, and Saul TUlman as Board members. the Section developed its by-laws and established liaisons to the Executive Board, the Division's Publications Board, and the Division's Program Committee. The Section's mission was seen as fostering, advancing. and developing the practice and theory of group psychotherapy as an autonomous reparative modality and milieu within the mental health field. Accord­ing to An 's "Inaugural Statement" in the PsychOlherapy Buf/eli" (Vol 16. No.2. p.20), "As our understanding of group psychotherapy becomes more sophist ie<lIed and theoretically more substantia l, \'r'e recognize the need for criteria which will depict differences between modality and technique, between reparati ve. prophylac­tic and developmental purpose. There is also a need for clarification of the differences between group organ izational (group dynamics) and group psychotherapeutic processes ..... This new modality involves not only new param­eters but different processes of interpersonal interaction that both produce as well as renect a totally different context and milieu for reparative mental health purposes ...... To fulfill this mission without fragmenting or splintering the organi­z4u ional structure or purpose of Division 29 is the desire of those who are active in forming the Group Psychotherapy Section ..... The aims and objectives of the new section are 10 enhance both the pragmatic and/or administrative functions that are an integral pan of the pract ice of group psychotherapy such as, the CSL.1blishment of training criteria, confrontation of the clinical-ethical, therapeutic. and legal aspects of the issue of confidentiality; problems of insurance reimbursement relevant to group psychotherJpy practice; licensing. and accreditation ..... "

At our Mid-Winter Board Meeti ng. Central Office functioning was reviewed. and everyone was very pleased with the way the office was being run, with the uti lization of computerized techniques in the management of the office and with Ben Fabrikant's plans to add appropriate software. His tenn as Administrative Coordinator was extended through 1987.

The Division's financial condition was very strong. and the Board voted. on recommendation of the Finance COlllmiltee. that $20,000 be appropriated from the

----------- -- · 34 · -------------

Division's reserves, to be donated to the special projects funds of the Association for the Advancement of Psychology (AAP.) These Special Project funds were designed for professional interests. the original reason for their creation having been the lCAH challenge on hospital privilages. A $5000 contribution was allocated [0 PLA . a separately incorporated organizat ion managed by AAP. whose sole purpose was polit ical action. President Ron Fox was planning to meet with other divisions to try 10 develop a coordinated strategy of division involve­ments regarding political action . Another significant action al the Board n~eeting was the authorization of funds to hold a Board Retreat ill May of 1982 to anlculate the Division's goals and priorities. with their financial implications.

One of the most excit ing experiences for Division 29 Executi ve Board members _ and indirectly forthe membership at large - was that retreat , held on May 14-16 in New York ~ under the dynam ic leadership of President Ron Fox. It " .. '3S a memorable meeting at which everyone worked hard - and successfully - to develop specific courses of action (0 at least begin the process of addressing some of the serious issues which were confronting us. It was a retreat which had as its goal action rather than impressive speeches or ineffective position statements. The significant actions and interactions of the Retreat really renected five m.ajor ar:eas of concern: quali ty control and access to the profession; advocacy and social/ethical responsibility~ redefinition and implementation of psychological prdctice~ market­ing: and utilization of psychological organizations. It ended with 2~ .a~tions which were taken bv the Board. and which included establishment by D,v,s,on 29 of:

a "Publ ic Relations and Infonnation Committee with an intial charge detailing a number of issues and problems of con cern to a broad segment of our membership

• a TIF on Professional and Public Advocacy an Ad Hoc Committee on Professional Education and Training with a specific charge a TIF on Models of Professional Education. Training and Practice for Psychology. charged with wri ting a proposal for a '·house of our own'· and developi ng/defining essential characterist ics of professional educa­tion, credcntialing. licensure, and the definition of specialty areas for funher consideration. an Ad Hoc Comm ittee to study implications of the PUPI (Psycholo­oists' Usc of Plwsical lntervelllions) report for Division 19 and to o _

formulate suggestions for ~\ction an Ethical Advisory Committee

In additional actions coming out of the Retreat. a variety of proJXIsals were made to the APA Board of Directors , in line with addressing the above-mentioned areas of concern.

------------------ · 35 · -------------------

At the Retreat it was decided to ask the Mid-\Vimer Program Committee to plan a future retreat meeting on the topic of promoting a broader definition of psycho­therapy and psychological practice, and to request the committee to study (he feasibility of devoting a program every 6-10 years to intemational or mult icultural approaches to psychological problems. BPA was asked to develop an information package for psychologists interested in becoming involved in reimbursement review mechanisms established by various third panies (insurance companies. HMO·s. elc.) And BPA was to be infomled of Division 29's retreat actions which would be of panicular concem to them and requested. along wi th COPP and COLI to seek re lief from medical practice acts regarding the right of psychologists to advise reduction or elimination of medication in certai n instances and to study the effect of slate medical practices acts on the unrestricted pract ice of psychology.

Once again, the Division decided to write the presidents of Divisions 12.38. 39. and 42, this time summarizing some of the results of the retreat and asking their reactions to the idea of a meeting of division presidents to deal with issues of common concern to the applied divisions. And to help support (v,'ith APA and several other applied divisions) a project conducted by an external finn to compile data on the costs of providing mental health coverage or for augmenting existing benefi ts in private insurance plans. they voted to allocate S2500 immediately . with up toan additional $2500committed forthenext fiscal year, ifneeded.and provided thai other groups agreed to pay their share. It was qui te a retrC4.lt!

The Distinguished Psychologist Award for 1981 was presented to Arthur Kovacs. Editor par excellence, our golden tongued - and golden penned - creative thinker and gift to psychology.

An interesting article apl>caring in the Psychotherapy Bulletin, Vol. 16, No.4 was Stanley Graham's "A Suggestion for the Development ofa National Res idency Program in Professional Psychology." In the same issue, tl1e Division 's Committee for Women published the results of their survey of the L ifestyle and Work Patterns of Psychotherapists in the Division of Psychotherapy. Not surprisingly, men and women responders to the Questionnaire had similar degrees. specialty areas, and numberof years in the profession . but in tenns of rewards and recognition (salary. ABPP. and Fellow staws) women were far behind men. who reported working more paid hours, whereas women worked more unpaid professionl hours and spent more hours in home/childcare.

Donald K. Freedheim was selected by the Board as the next edi tor of Psycho ,heralJY: 111eor),. Research and Pracl;ce. to take over from Art Kovacs in the Fall of 1983. This yearthe Division published fourissuesof its Bulletin and four issues of its journal plus a Special Issue entitled "Psychotherapy in Later Life." And approx imately 20.000 public service brochures on psychotherapy, printed by the

Division. were distributed to Slate psychological associations. other organizations, and psychotherapists. for a Illinimal fee. Fran Pepitone -Rockwell \ .... as reviewing all artic les going into the Joumal for sexist language and removing such language. The consciousness of the Division was really kept raised!!

The Elhnic Minori ties Committee was very active. and established a ne\,,·sleHer and a network among members interested in minority issuesrelatcd topsychotherapoy theory, practice and research.

And Student Tr.avel Scholarships were forthcoming for the following talented students:

Carl Sioitenberg, Brian l\-1cHeill . Richard Pierce. Lane Ogden. "Examin­ing the Developmental Levels and Needs ofTherapists- in-Training."

Robert G. Sulton. ··Negmive Clinical Bias Toward Lower Socioeconomic Groups: Some New Findings:'

Stephen J. Naifeh. 'The Live-in Therapist: Some Problems and Possibi lities."

The Division was involved in developing infonned consent procedures for psychotherapy, a controversial topic which the Division had a strong commitment to examining.

The Di vis ion was exlremely concerned also about the processes under which the APA MembershipCommitteemade decis ions regard ing new Fellow status in 1982, and submitted (wo resolutions to the APA Counci l. The first asked that the Policy and Planning Board of APA draft a Bylaw Amendment which would define the membership of the MembershipCommittee of APA to consist of two members each from Research/Academic, Public/social and Professional/Prac tice sectors of the association. The second resolution requested that the Membership Committee of APA submit the guidelines for its decisions to the Council of Representatives for ratification as official policyofthe Association to beofficial ly included in the Rules of Council.

We were also pleased with the election of Ron Fox. our fearless leader. under whose stewardship the Division 29 had accomplished so much. to the Board of Directors of APA.

J982-1 983

Jack Chwast, our Presidenl. saw us through another busy year. In the aftermath of its generous cOlllributions to worthy causes, this year was one of financial austerity for the Division. but as a resul1 of close budgeting and cost containment

in ;:111 programs. and an increaseof540 in membership. we were able to hold our own and expected to break e,,·en.

Committees continued to be vcf)' aClive. Division liaison re lationships were established wilh Div. 17 (Counseling Psychology) and Div. 42 (Independent Practice.) The Public Information Committee developed a Media Directory Questionnaire as part of their compiling i.l Directory of members willing to share thei r professional expertise via TV appeamnces, radio. public media (leiters to editor. newspaper columns, etc.) or legislative consulting. The Ethnic Minority Affairs Commitlee announced with delight the election of fonner chair. Maxine Rawlins, to the APA Board of Ethnic MinorilY Affairs. EMAC \\o'as acti"'e in addressi ng the concems of ethnic minority psychotherapists and their clients, successfully increased ethnic minority prcsenlations m cOllventions. and enhanced divisional liaisons with other APA ethnic minority bodies. El\'1AC was instrumental in helping Ihe Massachusetts Psychological Association to Conn its own committee on ethnic minority concems. Since the Division had supported the appointment of Maxine Rawlinsas its BE[\.·lA liai son. we were particularly pleased to leam that. largely on her impetus. BEMA had decided lOesli.Iblish an interdivisional caucus to provide a mechanism for increased liaison among interdivisional ethnic minority groups. EMAC was ~l l so active in giving input to state legislatoJ1oi regarding the training and licensure of psychologists.

11,e Committee on Independen' Pmclice, chaired by Sian ley Graham. nOled Ihal 85% of the Division's membership was interested in issues of pn.lctice. and was focusing on areas of peer rev iew. masters level issues. and the organization of heal th providing services. The Committee on Professional Education and Training. chaired by Ben Fabrikant. was y.'Orking to put together a list of posldocmral programs in psychology. p;.u1icularly psychotJlerapy. throughout the United States and Canada. and was also exploring post-doctoral clinical re-specialization programs.

If you recall. allhe May 1982 Board Relfeal, a Task Force was appoinled 10

develop a model of professional education, training. and practice for psychology. Art Kovacs, Ron Fox. and Stanley Graham put their heads together 311d. throwing caution 10 the winds, came up with a provocati\'e, intriguing, sometimes revolutioll:lfY set of ideas designed not as a "final word" but rJ.ther as a catalyst for creative inpul from all of LIS. Some of the principles they set forth for discussion involved schools of psychology affiliated with accredited uni"'ersi ties forgmduale education and training in professional psychology; the Psy.D. as the appropriate degree; education and training to be at the doclorallevel. at least four post-bachelor years, and generic. following thepractitioner-scienlist model: professional schools to organize curricula to provide Masters level people the opportunily to eam the doctorate, nnd provide a trnck for part-time study: sJX!cialization to be offered initially to ndvanced students and specialty training to be undertaken only in well

defined posl-docloral sequences; Ihal APA should proceed 10 develop a mechanism for the identification of specialties in proressional psychology, and that the current specialties should be updated. with {he most likely areas in need of review being PsychOlherapy. HeallhlNeuro/Rehabililalion Psychology, Public Heal'h Psychol­ogy, Advocacy and Public Policy Psychology, Environmental Psychology and Psychopharmacology. I f such idea~ were to be implemented. it was recommended that licensure of psychologists be generic.

Our Group Psychotherapy Section was going strong. providing excellent programs at APA. including an afternoon ofConvers.lIion Hours in the Division's Hospital ity Suite. They reported receiving a telegram from the President or the American Group Psycholherapy Association congralulating them on finding a home within APA. In their first official election they gave a vote of contidence to

thei r pro tern officers and committee who had worked on achieving section starus, and elected Arthur Teicher as Chair. and Jules Barron as Vice Chair and Chair Elect.

A By-Laws change was proposed by the Board of Directors of APA. relative to

disputed elections, and was sent 10 the Membership for vote and approved by them.

For more than a decade, Division 29 had been holding Mid-winter meetings. The 1983 Mid\Vinter meeting. heldat the Greenbrier in \\lest Virginia, was the first one that was jointly sponsored. Combining forces with Division 42. the Division of Independent Practice, was a very successful. enriching cxperience. and it was decided lO make thisjoinl sponsorship permanent. Guidelines forthe eslabl ishment and constitution of a Nlid-Winler Convention CommiHee , with procedures for decision-making delineated. were adopted by the Board. And Division 29 applied and was approved by the American Psychological Associarion as a sponsor or Continuing Education programs.

its members and to psychotherapy! The Psychotherapy Brochure prin ted by the Divi sion was revised to take into accoun t the times when confident ia lity may ha\'e to be broken because of state or federal law. Upon recommendation of the Publ ications Board. the Division voted to change the name of its journal, Psycho­therapy: Theory. Re!ielll'ch and Practice to Psychotherapy, with the words "Theory, Research. Pmct ice and Traini ng" on the lower legend orthe page. This change came coincidenta lly with (and without knowledge ot) the c hange in lhe nameof the APA journal Professional Psychology. which added the words. Research and Practice to its title. Interestingly. Don Fredheim had founded Professiol1al Psychologyin 1970, Be n Fabrikant edited his last issue of the Psychotherapy Bulletin (Vol 17 No 4), before handing the Editor-e lect, Laura Barbanel. the rei ns. And a Special Recog­nition Award was given to Fran Pepitone Rockwe ll for her \vork in keeping the jou rnal free of sexist- language.

1lle year's Distinguished PsychologislAward went to Herben J. Freudenbergcr. psychotherapist. psychoanalyst. author, workshop leader, a nd active participant in APA and Di vis ional governance. ll1e Jack D. Krasner Memorial Award was shared by Jaquelyn Resnick and Gary VandenBos.

1983-1984

I noted in a Committee For Women Report (PsychorJrerapy Bul/elill Vol. 17. No.4, p. 9) an acknowledgcment that this Divi sion "is presently adequmely represcnted in officers and c~U1did ale~ for office by persons of both sexes.,." I believe this to be a measure of the abili ty of the Division's leadership,( nOI surprisingly another"Old Boys ' Club" in many res(X!cls at one timc.) not only to be open to having theircollecti .... e social consciousness mised. but also to be wi lling to incorporme and act on what they had learned!

As the first woman president of thc Division of Psychotherapy. I was handed the gavel at the annual business meeting of the Di .... ision. held at APA in August of 1983.

We were saddened by the death. on September 12. 1983, of Gordon Derner •• 1

past president of the Divis ion. and organizer of the first school of professional I)sychology in the country at Adelphi Univers ity. where he served as Dean and Professor of psychology at the Instituteof Advanced Psychological Studies. He was a distinguished colleague who made sign ificant contributions to professional psychology. and was a wise, \\o'arm and gent le man.

The 1984 Mid-\Vinter Convention of Divisions 29 and 42 was held in San Diego, with Divis ion 39 overlapping, AI theCF\V mccting there, it was noted that Hannah Lerman was in (he process of annotat ing the extensive bibliography she had developed on "Sexual Explo itation in Psychotherapy" and support of the Division was reaffirmed by its additional fu nding for this projccl.

It was voted at the Midwinter l\'leeting 1984 that the title of our major Professional Award be changed (0: " Distinguished Psychologist Award for Contributions to Psychology and Psychotherapy." It was felt that this would better reflect the Di vision's miss ion. and the amended title was ummimously adopted by the Board. Robert A. Harper - Bob Harper to a lmost all of us - was unan imously selected to rece ive the Dislinguished Psychologist Award for 19&4. which was presented to hlm at the Busi ness meeting of the Division held during the APA meeting in Toronto. in August. Ronald F. Levant, a famil y therapist. was named recipient of the Jack D. Krasner Memorial Award. The Student Scholarship Award winners, who presented their papers during the APA Convention in Toronto were:

Sharon Harrison and Suzanne E. Weld. U. of Ottawa

Keeping in mind our multiple inte rests involvi ng psychotherapy. we needed to direct our strongest efforts not only towards our survi val in the marketplace and our inclusion in legislation concemed with the provision of he<llth services. bUI also towards programs involving training and research in thearca ofpsychOlherapy. We

took a very aC li\'e role in encouraging and supporting .A.PA·s focus on these issues, and in providing input in those instances where we bel ieved we could and should have an impact. At our Fcbmary Executive Board meeting, we ap(Xlint,cd ~md

funded SU7..annc Sobel as our Obser\'er 10 the BPA Subcommittee on Professional Services Review (SOPSR) and recommended her appointment 10 SOPSR. We gave $J(XXl.OO in fin anc ial support to the Group for the Advancement of Psycho­therapy and Psychoanalysis in Psychotherapy as it geared up to lake aCLion against

the American Psychoanalytic Association. not only to fight the exclusion of psychologists from psychoanalytic training, etc. but also because the basic issue appeared to be psychiatry'sescaJating attempts to re-Illedicalize psychotherapy in general.

As president I wrote many leuers for the Division expressing our concerns and viewpoints. \Ve were in contact with the president of APA regnrding a proposed CHAMPUSjoint venlureagreement wilhtheAmerican Psychiatric Association for peer review, and our concerns. and those of other practitioner-oriented divis ions were apparently heard by APA governance and modifications were neoOliated . . . c which would be more protective of our peer status with psychiatry in CHAM PUS matlers. We requested of Mike Pallak. APA's Executive Officer. that he secure a legal opinion regarding an issue of breach of confidentiality of the doctor/patient relationship in psychotherapy when an insurance claim is filed. We recommended that BPA re-establish a Committee on Health Insurance to address the issues involved and implementations appropriate for fostering the recognition of psycho­logical services by the insurance industry. \Ve sent Evelyn Hill as our Observer to attend a BPA meeting, and ajoim meeting of BPA and the APA Insurance Trusl. And we were particularly grati fied to note that BPA extended a special invitation to all APA Divisions interested in professional issues. to send representatives.

The Group Psychotherapy section established a Peer Review Committee under the leadership of Malcolm Marks and Larry Kutash, 10 defi ne and designate the problems of peer review in group psychotherapy and develop principles related to peer review for group psychotherapy.

The Division was approved as a Continuing Education sponsor by APA. thereby increasing its potential for becoming instrumental in providing high quality cont inuing education experiences regarding psychotherapy for our membership. Once again. at the suggestion of the Division 's Continuing Education Chair, Aaron Canter, the Board voted to recommend to APA that the APA CE Committee immediarely deve lop procedures to grant APA CE credil for attendance at national. regional, slate and l1lid~winter meetings; to subslantially reduce fce requirements, reports. and research requi rements for APA Divisions and State Associations, and jf necessary to have Counci l intervene in order to make the A_PA CE Committee more responsive to divisional. stale association, and membership needs.

Responses received to the principles concerning education, credentialing and licensure, developed by Fox, Graham and Kovacs. included one from the Council of Schools of Professional Psychology. and one indicatin2 that BPA would be considering the principles. (Responses seemed to have, pe;haps. lost sight of thl! thrust of the principles - catalytic, not conclusive - and Ihe matter was referred to thl! Committee on Graduate Education and Traini ng.)

As President I wrote a series ofle[ters to APA requesting a change in procedures 10 enable new mcmbers of Divisions to be placed on the divisions' rolls more frequently . As I observed at Ihe time. when a system does not mecllhe needs of the membership it is time to change the system, not adjust to theunmet needs! And the system was indeed changed, making thc addition of new members to divisions easier and more limcly.

At its retreat. the Boarddiscu~sed organiz.ational problems of the APA .and what developed was a sensc thai there \\'as not an urgcncy for a (otal reorganization. but rather a change in some of the procedures rnight be useful. TIle Board passed a resolulion that rhe originator of a Council item be kept lip to date on the item, whethe r or nOllhal individual is slill on Council. this re~olu l ion to be referred to the Committee on SlrucLUre and Function of Counci l. or introduced to Council by our Council Repre.\entatives, should CSFC not act. In addi tion. the president of the Divbion was in ~tructed to write to the Chair of the Policy and Planning Board of APA. requesting reacti vatian of the A PA Comm ittee on Orgilnization, reconstituted with new members. The Divi~ion' s own Committee on Organization was II1slitutcd.1O be ch:lired by Jack \Viggi ns. and charged with making recolllmenda­tions LO the Division on the organization of APA and with de"igni ng some creative legislation ...... .

The Division siayed within budget lhis year, but had to VOle a $5 increase in a .. ~scssment for 1985. The increase was clearly felt LO be moredesirablcthancutting of the Division's activities on behalf of the membership! We \l,.Iere \tcry proud of our Journal. which was publishing four issue') a ycar. plus Special Issues - this year's being on "Psychotherapy with Children and Youth.'· \Ve now had about 5000 members in our Division and seemed to be growing slowly but steadi ly. despite new divisions which were drawing from the same pool as we. But probably as the result of a related phenomenon, we were advised that (he Division had lost a seat in the 1985 apportionment ballot and wou ld therefore have only three seaLS on the 1985

At the Feb. Board Meeting, in Miami Beach, the illness of Ben Fabrikant. our Administral iveCoordinator, was noted \\o'ith much distress. An Ad HocCommiltcc to Establish Guidelines for Cenlrdi Office Functioning was created, wilh the mission of reviewing Cenrral Office functions and making recommendations nOI

only as tohow the office could function l11oreeffeclively. given its increasingdulic~ and complexities, but also concerning how that office should function if (he Administrative Coord inator is unable to perform his or her duties, for whatever reason. The Commillee was asked to report back at the August Board meeting.

At this meeting, Stanley R. Graham. practitioner, trainer. educator. organizer. etc. etc. elc. was selected to receive the Distinguished Psychologist Award. and Raymond A. DiGiuseppe. an outslanding young research/practice/training psy­chologist active with the Rational Emotive Therapy Institute was named to receive the Jack D. Krasner Memorial Award. The Board also \loted to give Ben Fabrikill1l a special Distinguished Service award. At the April Administrative Committee meeting. the following wording was created for it:

«To Dr. Benjamin Fabrikant, a man of stature in psychotherapy who by years of dedicmion and effccliveneses as administrat ive coordinator has contributed significantly to the growth and maturation of the Division of Psychotherapy, American Psychological Association, 1985."

On May 12, 1985, Ben Fabrikant, our Central Office Coordinator, formcr Bulletin Editorand Midwi nterchair , esteemed colleague and good friend. died. Ben was an essential ingredient of our growth and de"'elopment as a division. He was to be much missed. With Ben' s illness and death. the Central Office underwent somc times of crisis. as new people stepped in 011 a part-time basis to try to keep us anoal , with mixed succcss. In the Spring of 1985, President Ernst Beier asked Rhoda Schneider, an II year employee of the Cenlnll Ortice to take over our functions on a part-time basis until the August Board meeting. and she graciously (and charitably) agreed to do so. The crisis was weathered, and the Committee on Celll:ra l Office was commissioned to investigate management firms wilh a view lowards going 10

that form of Central Office fu nctioning. Bids were received from Rhoda Schneider. as well as from Washington. DC and Phoenix,AZ management firms. At the August Board meeting, after lengthy debate and soul-searching. it was decided to pursue the search by securing more data from the interested parties, and to give the Search Committee the authority to make the fina l decision. Afler much discussion not only of relative cost, but also of goals of the Division. it was decided to contract with The Administrators. the Phoenix. Arizona finn. because of their broOld capacities, their desirable financial proposition. and the presence of a Divisional past-president to provide local supervision. A three-year contract with a three month non-penalty cancellation clause was signed. which pro\·jded for the general

Matty Canter was appoimed Administrative liaison and was directed to atlend both Executive Board and Administrative Committee meetings. A date of October 12th was scheduled for moving theCentral Officeequipmenl and materials from I ew Jersey to Phoenix and Matty agreed to 50rt out the materials packed and shipped by Rhoda Schneider when it arrived in Phoenix, and help the new Central Office Administrator, Pauline \Vampler and our "account executive," Marie Timberlake, loorganize the office and the files. It was litreed that Ihe Division would request a "compilation and review" of our finances once the new Central Office \vas re-established. Marvin Stein. CPA was designated l!oo the new accountant for the Division.

During the Lime of crisis in the Central Office. Rhoda Schneider really managed Co keep us from having La close shop and we owed her a tremendous debt. Even though we had not chosen to COnLract with her to take over management of the Central Office. (a decision based on the felt need for a resource with broader capabil ity,) she cooperated fully and graciously in seeing us through our crisis and ill thedifficuJtjob of packing up the Central Office and moving it from New Jersey 10 Arizona. Rhoda was honored and given a gift by the Division a( the 1986

1idwinter Meeting, (Q which she and her husband were invited.

The Program Comminee. chaired by Harold Bernard, reported a very successful year, with submissions so numerous that a 60% rejection rale was the result. Don frcedhe im, in his Journal report. indicated that he was institut ing i.1 Book Review Section, with Mary Jansen as its editor. The Journal's Special Issue in 1985 was on "PsychOlherapy With EthnicMinorities." And the struggle to haveAPA award CE I.:rcdit for meeling attendance continued.

"Vith the proliferation of other divisions with similar - though not necessarily identical interests - and with the di fficulty in developingcleardireclions and expertise in our ad vocacy/professional survival actjvitie~. it was agreed that our scholarship activi­ties, particularly thejournal.

The Division's Continuing Education Committee was asked to establish a 1I11I\on relationship with the APA' s CE Commiltee, in an effort to provide better ullununication and understanding between us.

Our president attended the first Division Leadership Conference sponsored by APA in May of 1986, and noted her sense of pride in Division 29 for being way ilhcnd of other divisions in serv icing our members, for being in good shape IlIulIlcially, for being in line with Federal IRS regulations, and for operating as an 111( lependent entity. v,,'e seemed to have everything that most divisions did not have, that is, our own Ta.~ ID number, a Central Office, a Mid-\Vinter Convention, a

The Fel lowsCommittee chaired by Gerry Koocher. had as its priorrity this year the increase in recognition of Division 29 members who were already fellows of other div isions. The Committee wrole to targeted individuals who \\'ere fe llows of other divisions and who aplX!ared to be good candidates for fellowship in Division 29 inviting them to apply under an expedited process. As a result of their cffom,. 50 "old fellows" were clCClCd Fellows of Division 29.

TheCommittee on Comm iueeStructure (Ron Levant. chair; Don Freedheim; Trish Hannigan) did its work and reported that the Division appeared to them 10 have three funclional categories of committees:

• Organizational/Administrative Committees (a ll Sianding Commiltees) Member Service Committees

• Issue Committees

The Committee on Committee Structure recommended that all Member Service and Issue Committees review their current missions in the light of both parallel committees existing in other divisions and the work being done by paid staff in Ihe APA directorates, and consider whether it would be appropriale to conlinue as a divisional committee. to fonn an interdivisional commiuee or task force. or to function as a liaison, either divisional or inte rdivisional, to one oflhe direclorates. It was also suggesled that the existing li~li soll structure should be updated to reflect the reorganization of APA 's Central Office, and Ihat considera tion should be given to the sharing of liaisons with other practice divisions.

In lemlS of membership growth, this was a good year for the Division. Assisted by a change in APA procedures to facilitate members ' joining divisions. we got 2466 interest slips, more than double the number received last year! And we recruited 565 members.

The Publications Board had much 10 occupy itthis year! Again we had a Special Issue of the journal. this one on " Psychotherapy \Vith Victims." The History of PSJcholherapy volume. edited by Don Freedhe im, wiLh all illustrious lisL of associate ed itors, was well on its way to publication in time fortheAPA Centennial. APA is doing the publishing. and it will be a volume of fine qual it)' , of which we can be proud. for it is part of Division 29'scontriblltion tothe APA Centennial! The Task Force on Adolescents and Chi ldren completed its brochure 011 Psychotherapy with Children and Adolescents which was primed and e nthulliiastically received. A marketing plan was being developed to increase its sale. Some articles on topics of interest 10 students were \\o'riHen by the Publications Board l1lember~and circulated 10 university newspapers for publication. And \Vade Silverman was designated to take over editorship of the Joumal from Don Frecdheim in 1994.

At its February 1991 meeting. the Council of Representativeso\o'erwhelmingly approved lheestablishment of Division 49.1he Division on Group Psychology and Group Psychothcrapy. This was a real victory for our Section I. which had skillfully shepherded the mcasure through Council. SecLion I , Group P~ychotherapy. \foted ovcrwhelmingly to disband and designate the newly fonned Divis ion 49, as its successor organi7..alion. The Section president. Gordon Boal s. indicated the intention of tile Section members Lo continue as active participants in Divis ion 29.

At the Midwinter Meeting, the Board, agreeing with the Student Development Commiltee's suggestion, voted to change the name of the student paper awards to the Donald K. Freedheim Student Development Award, in acknowledgement of Don 's encouragement, guidance, and instrumental support for the creation of APAGS. The 1991 winners of the Fourth Annual Donald K. Freedheim Student Development Award were:

First Place: Steven Hem1an, Rutgers U. "Therapist-client similarity as a predictor of psychotherapy outcome:'

Second Place: Maureen Corbell, U. of Maryland. "A brief history of research on the process of individual psychotherapy."

Both papers were presented at the APA Convenlion in August, 199 1. with Ellin Bloch as discussant.

At the request of the Ethnic Minority AffairsComminee, its name was changed to the Multicultural Affairs Committee. because the tenn "ethnic minority" was seen as denoting a negative image of ethnic individuals, not in line with changing demographics. Further. the comminee felt the new title would be much more reflective of the mission and goals of the committee. The Multicultural Affairs Commillee announced that the winner of the 1991 a1ional Students of eo lor Paper Competition was Christopher J. Barker. a student 3l Seton Hall University. His paper, "\Vorking with the people: ethical issues in counseling and suicide assess­ment with a Native American population" was given by him at APA in San Francisco.

Following up on the APA Task Force on 'Women and Depression, Division 29 conducted a pi lot survey of gender diffcrences in depression.

Don:Jld K. Freedheim was designated recipient of the 1991 Distinguished Psychologist Award for Contributions LO Psychology and Psychotherapy. Just from reading this history, one must have asensealreadyofwhy! A professor at Case Westcrn Reserve. Don has given yeoman service to the Division and the field via his editorship of the journal for two five-year terms, his presidency of the Division, service on the Council of Representatives. his work on developing student member­ship. etc. etc. e tc. TheJack D. Krasner Award for 1991 \Vent to Lisa Porche-Burke, a facully member althe Califomia School of Profe sional Psychology and coordi­nator of Ethnic Minority Studies (rising to Acting Provost at CSPP-LA, after she was designated as lhe reward recipient.jus( proving how right we were in seeing her as "going places!) Herservice included being the Division liaison to APA 's Board of Ethnic Minority Affairs and chair of what has become the Multicultural Affairs Commiltee. The awards were presented at the Division 29 Social Hour at the APA Convention in San Francisco.

Effons were begun by Secretary Trish Hannigan to collect infommtion about members for a data base which would be used 10 maximize the exchange of scientific, educational and professional information among Il-.embers.

At the Council Meeting in August. 1991. Ellen McGrath and Ellin Bloch received Presidential Citations from Charlie Spielberger, APA President. in recognilion of their superb work in response 10 Ihe Gulf crisis.

The Division fonned a new committee, the Employee Benefits Committee. chaired by Trish Hannigan. with Victor Nahmias as a I11cmberand James P. Farley. an employee benefits administrator. as an ex officio consu ltant. The committee' s goals were stated as follows: to promote the professionalism of psychologists in relation to employee benefit plans~ to educate employcrs about thc appropriate role of menial health in their own and their employees' lives and Jbout the impact of employee mental health or benefits utilization; to promote quality utilization review: to serve as an adjullctto APA level efforts in advocacy for mental health coverage: and to serve as an infonnation clearing house for Division members on the current topics in health benefits management.

Norm Abeles and Carl Eisdorfer made recommendations to Di\'ision 29 on the kind of education and training eXJX!riences nceded by trainees in order to be

competent to work clinically with older adulls. They asked thaI Division 29 encourage action on their specific recommendations by providing publicity in our printed malcnals. by urging the inclusion of aging in lists of diversities as in accreditation criteria. by selling up communications channels with the Practice Directoralc and by reinforcing colleagues who take steps 10 incorporate more aging content in the programs that Ihey lead. The idea of a Section on Aging in the Division was raised for consideration _

At an interdivisional Gender Issues Committee meeting at Midwinter, it was decided to try to arrange fora day at the 1992 Midv ... intcr meeting for women, a day during which leadership development content would be combined with nurturing. play, and re-energizing :Jclivities. offering women an opportunity to make new friends, to relax and unwind and to discuss the barriers and solutions for women in leadership. Evelyn Hill and Matty Canter agreed to co-chair the event. and a committee was constituted, which mel at APA in San Fnmcisco to work out some of Ihe details.

Looking through the Bulletins, one can see how active and effective this Division has been and continues to be! Articles on such topics as substance abuse. prescription privileges. marketing opportunities. malpractice insurance. the Psy.D. degree, the use of hospi tal referral service.<ii ,trends in psycholherapy, education and

· 67 • --------------

training recommendations on the kind of education and training experiences needed in order to be competent to work clinically with older adults - these are just some of the topics addressed injust one of the 1991 issues!

Election results suggested that the Division would continue to be in good hands in 1992, with Reuben Silver as president, with the election of Gerald Koocher as President-elect, with Ellen McGrath as past-president, Trish Hannigan-Farley (Congratulations, Trish and Jim!) as Secretary, incumbent Alice Rubenstein as Treasurer, and Jules Barron. Lisa Porche-Burke and Carl Zimct as Members-at­Large. And so it would be.

But on December 18, 1991 , Jules Barron died - suddenly, to some of us. - and sadly, for all of us. Jules wasa founderofPIAP. a founder of our Division. our past president. a friend to so man),. a warm and wonderful human being who helJX:d to shape us and who helped to make the Division a force in our profession and a pleasure in our lives. Although he had been active in many facets of APA' s governance, Jules always considered Division 29 his home. And we considered him ours. He will be sorely missed. In accordance with the Bylaws, Morris Goodman was designated to be seated as a Member-at-Iarge in his stead.

1992

As I write, I am looking ahead to what should be an exciting Midwinter Convention at Amelia Island Plantation, near Jacksonville. Florida. in mid­February. The Winter 1991 - I 992 edition of The Psyclrotlrerapy BIII/etin Vol 26, No.4 arrived whi le I was writing, and a glance through it suggesLS that \ve shall have another very productivc year. AI1icles reflect such diverse issues of significant concern as the fcminization of psychology, substance abuse, media, marketing. and psychology, national health insurance, professional liability, the employee health care benefit system. concerns of graduate students, etc. etc. etc.

This year the journal Special Centennial Issue will be - \\Ihal else?· ' '1llc Future of Psychotherapy." And the I 993 Special Issue "in the works" is on "Psychotherapy and The Addictions." Our History of PsycilOtlrerapy, edited by Don Freedheim, is in press, with a forward by Rollo May. We expect it to be a very special year!

Another former president of Division 29, Jack G. \\liggins, takes over the presidency of APA on March I, at the conclusion of the adjourned meeting of Council. as our fonner president and twice treasurer Stanley R. Graham ends his term on the APA Board of Directors as APA past president. and our former past president and current APA Recording Secrelary Ron Fox ends his term and is replaced by our former past president, Pat DeLeon. who becomes APA Recording Secretary! Ron is running for Presidenl-Elect of APA .... whoknows! \Vemay have sti ll another past president going to the top of the ladder! And as forthe APA Board

of Directors, of the six members-at-Iarge who will be seated on March I, three ( Dorothy Cantor, Robert Resnick and myself) are Division 29 Fellows and one, Bruce Bennen. is a Division Member. How about that! Certainly the Division of Psychotherapy has served as a training ground for many of us, has nurtured its members and sent us on to fight the gCKXI fight.. ...
