[DIV28SUPER] APA statement on DSM-5 Development Process

The APA Board of Directors has released a statement on the DSM-5 development process.  This statement builds upon earlier communications and calls for a science-based process and one that avoids the problem of over or misidentification of individuals as being in need of treatment in ways that could lead to unnecessary and potentially harmful interventions.

[DIV28SUPER] Apportionment Ballot for 2013: Please allocate your votes to Division 28

Dear Division 28 Voting Members:

APA members with voting rights should recently have received via "snail mail" a folded brochure titled, "Apportionment Ballot for 2013 Legislative Year".   Each member is able to allocate up to 10 votes to APA divisions or state/provincial/territorial psychological associations.

As we have routinely requested in prior years, we strongly encourage Division 28 members to allocate all 10 of their personal votes to Division 28.  This is highly advantageous to ensure representation of our division (which is relatively small compared to others).

As the brochure indicates, the apportionment ballot needs to be mailed and received at APA central office by Dec 16, 2011.

Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards, Mark

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS- 2012
Committee on Women in Psychology (CWP) Leadership Awards
Deadline February 1, 2012


The APA Committee on Women in Psychology (CWP) invites nominations for its annual Leadership Awards.

Nominees will be identified as "emerging" or "distinguished" leaders in one or more areas of influence: practice, scholarship, public interest, and service in psychology. Emerging leaders are psychologists who have received their doctorate within the past 15 years, have made a substantial contribution to women in psychology and show promise of an extensive, influential career. Distinguished leaders are psychologists who have worked for 15 years or more after receiving their doctorate. They should have a longstanding influence on women's issues and status and should be recognized leaders in their area of expertise.
 
The following categories are used to examine each candidate's work and qualifications. Successful candidates will have made significant contributions in one or more of the following areas:

Scholarship
This award recognizes innovative, high-quality research accomplishments that affect women's lives or improve their status. Such leadership includes but is not limited to (a) increasing our general knowledge and understanding of women's experiences and development; and/or (b) developing theory and research relevant to decreasing societal biases (e.g., sexism, racism, heterosexism, abelism, ageism, etc.) that impede the advancement of women. Relevant activities include publication, teaching, and mentoring.

Reference letters should indicate whether the candidate is being nominated as an emerging or a distinguished leader, and identify the areas in which the candidate has made contributions (practice, scholarship, public interest, and/or service in psychology). Additionally, letters should address the nominees' leadership activities, contributions, and scope of influence that advance knowledge for and about women, foster understanding of women's lives, and improve the status of women and underrepresented populations of women in psychology and society.
Current CWP members, liaisons and monitors to CWP, BAPPI members and other like representatives, members of APA's Board of Directors, individuals who have announced candidacy for APA President, and APA staff are not eligible to apply during the year(s) they serve in the aforementioned positions and two years after.
