2024 Editor’s Column 59(4)

Welcome to the Fall Bulletin, SAP.
My oh my, what a quarter it has been for the Electronic Communications team. For the last year, we have been working on upgrading the website with Website Design Specialist, TJ Slade. It was quite the task! The previous website was established for a decade and housed over 44,000 lines of codes, news links, and articles for the division. The website not only acts as a publication, but also as a time capsule for all the amazing work our members have showcased.
While it was no small feat to transfer all our content to a new platform, I want to apologize for any inconvenience the merge may have caused. Our website was inactive for the last two weeks of August. Fortunately, due to our incredible Central Office Team Member, Tracey Martin, we had access to everything we needed, even in the absence of the website. She is truly the backbone of the division. Additionally, a special thank you to our Associate Editor, Lacy Sohn, for navigating submissions even when our portal was inactive, and our Website Editor, Sarah Bondy, for learning how to code on a brand new website. That being said, our website is well on the way to being completely finished. Please submit any concerns, comments, or compliments at the purple banner on the top of the website.
This quarter’s Psychotherapy Bulletin has a special feature related to suicide prevention and assessment, as September was suicide prevention month. We also have great articles related to clinical work and the therapeutic process.
With three months left of the year, I invite you to take part in our monthly call for submissions if you have not already. On the first of each month, I send out the monthly topic via the listserv. If you’re a planner like me, you can view 2024’s monthly topics below. As always, you are welcome to submit an article outside these topics whenever you wish. Click here to write for us!
