2020 President’s Column 55(1)
As a third-year graduate student, I recall being asked to engage in a classroom debate on the question of whether good psychotherapists were “born versus made”. We were allowed a few weeks to prepare arguments before our teams faced off to debate the issue, with notecards of points and citations at the ready. As a […]

2019 President’s Column 54(3)
It was great to see so many Society members at APA in Chicago and from my view, it seems a good time was had by all. I kicked off my conference on Friday by chairing the presidential symposium Out of the Office and into the Streets: Interventions for Diverse Clients and Settings. The presenters, Daniel […]

Greetings to all! I am honored and excited to begin my presidential year in service to the Society for Advancement of Psychotherapy (SfAP).

Greetings From the President-Elect
Hello Division Members: As I contemplate the transition to President next month (which, to be honest, is a little overwhelming), I would like to briefly remind you about our convention theme and my primary presidential initiative for my upcoming (2019) presidential year.

2018 President’s Column (#4)
To follow through on the horse racing analogy that I introduced in my second President’s column, we are now entering the stretch run of a productive and celebratory year for our Society. So, for one last time in “print”—happy 50th birthday, Division 29! And here’s to the start of our next 50 years, which, when […]

2018 President’s Column (#3)
My plan was to write this third Presidential Column immediately after APA Convention, so that I could report, first hand, on what was sure to be a satisfying, productive, and festive set of events for our Society. Instead, I am writing with a heavy heart, having had to miss the Convention when my dear cat […]

2018 President’s Column
As I write my second Presidential Column, the Kentucky Derby is fast-approaching (for those unaware, it is always the first Saturday in May!). As a big fan of the event, I feel compelled to use horse racing lingo. Thus, whereas my first Presidential column was my personal post time at the SAP leadership helm, this […]

2018 President’s Column
Eight short years ago I wrote my final Psychotherapy Bulletin column as SAP Early Career Domain Representative. In re-reading this piece, I was reminded of my reflections on our various career “crossings,” often over imaginary lines that somehow (at least through the field’s lens) render us objectively more accomplished or even more expert (despite not […]

The privilege of serving as your 2017 President was capped off by the amazing work that your Board of Directors did at its final meeting for the year. The commitment, thoughtful deliberation, mutual respect and creativity was a pleasure to witness and be a part of. I’d like to share some examples with you and […]

An Exciting Time for Us
There’s a lot happening in the Society for the Advancement of Psychotherapy. We had another spectacular quarter. Here are some of the highlights. Psychotherapy had another great year in 2016. We recently heard that we actually brought in more income than budgeted. Dr. Mark Hilsenroth and his team continue to strengthen the journal making it […]
