 INTRODUCTION
As the American Psychological Association celebrates its Cemennial in 1992.
o ur 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 whi ch 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

not include. So this may be laken as a somewhat less than complete. perhaps. but
hopeful Iy never less than accurate. account of the Division of Psychotherapy of thl!

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
psychothe rapy 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~

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 A PA and its Divisions. particularly Division 12 (Clinical.) would be to
their needs_
PIAP: A SECTION OF DIVIS ION 12, APA
In March of 1963. Eugene Gendlin, President or PIAP. received a leller from
Victor Rairny. President of Division 12, informing him that o n 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 io n. and , accordi ng 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!

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 pursueestablishmc nt of ajournal was based in part on the results

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
Struclu re and function of the group. But PlAP continued as an active Section of
Division 12. For examp le, on September 8. 1964, PIAP recommended changes in
the accredilalion of doctoral programs, including: a minimum of 2 years of
s upervised trai ning 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 its 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."
At the Execulive Board meeting all September l. 1966, Ted Blau led a
di scussion 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 signat ures 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 psycho-
therapy and who meet certain standards and qua li fic.llions: (b) to srimulate the
exchange of scientific informatio n among psychologists interested in psycho-
therapy: (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

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 Psvcho-
therapy of the American Psycho logical Association. 'SO now OUf goals"v,:crc

PI AP had petit 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

first to have conversation hours and programs in a Divisional Hospi tality Suite ( A

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

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 Ed itor 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. c hair of Ihe Ethics and
Ethical Standards Committee. reported that the resuhs of a Division survey on
Ethical Standards were in th e process ofanalysis. and would be published in the nexl
issue. A booklet entilled P~;)'chOlJref(If1), - A Pl)'cJlOlogicai Perspective, writte n
by Jules Barron. Jack Krasner. and Ben Fabrikant . and des igned 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 ot her workshop.
"1'he Personal Experiencing of Some I nnovation~ in Psychotherapy," was led by
\V illi ..,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 grad umc students relati ng
to their training. and providing its membership with information regarding the
background and legis lariveeffon on lhe part or the New Jersey Psychological Assn.,

 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 secl11 10 get my hands on much maleriallo tell us about what happened
during this year. but il phone call to Ted Blau brough t a promise to send along
whatever he mi ght find on a back shelf in a dusty carton! Meanwhile. Ted

nOI represent " real clinical psychology;' in the se nse that they were a very
academ ically oriented group. and not really interested in practice issues. The "real
clinicians" belonged to Divisio n 29. where the young. aggressi\.-e. independe nt
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

prepared for discu ssion at the 1970 Midwinter meeting.
The first Division 29 Midw inter Convention was he ld 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 annua l 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 develop-
ment 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 Gend lin. The exchange
of letters between President Vin Rosenthal and recipient Gene Gend lin, as printed
in the Apri l 1970 ediLion of the Psychotherapy Blilletill. Vol. 3. No. I. pp 20-21.

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 si ncerest 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.

It was atlhat meeting thai the Board discussed a request from Dr. Leah Gold

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

rather than as a special group.
1972-1973
At the incoming Board meeting held on 9-3-72, and chaired by Ihe new ly 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 psycholo-
gists full me mbers hip in APA.
At the December 1972 meeting of Cou nciL 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 respon-
sibility 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 ove r two to one. with accompanyi ng
cheers on the noor of Council.
This was another successful year for the Division. The Midwinter Meeti ng. 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 pre-

regarding psychotherapy. The Public Information Commillee initiated a series of
radio panel programs aimed at educaLion of the public regarding psychologist-
psychotherapists. And the Membership Commi nee processed and recommended
to Lhe Board approximately 500 new members for th e Division, noting Lhat by lhe
end of the year the membership was about 3000. GrowLh continued!

As Jul es 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 scie nt 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 o n 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
developi ng radio programs which included panels sponsored by Division 29. llleSC
panels. begun in Sept. of 1973 were to conti nu e fo r atleasl a full year of
broadcasting, and were heard on Sunday mornings in the New York metropolitan

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

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 th e 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 co ntinued 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 standi ng 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 Commit-
tee. chaired by Sam Kutash. \vas working on standards for Post-Doctoral tmining
progmms. and the Creative Contributions Committee's second volume was taken

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 co nnection?? 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 ...

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 ~l C
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 approprint c
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
tre nd 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

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 psycho-
therapy by psychologists. and in negotiating and implementing specific insurance
contracts regard ing 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 hou se 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 Treasu rer 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."
Ju lia 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.l-
pis!. The Di vision also reaffirmed its support of then current ethical standards on
· 22 • - - - - - - - - - - - - --
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 th e 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 electi on 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 Psyc hotherapy were discharged with thanks.
The Public Infomlation and Education committee reported th at 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 \\fri ght 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 Coordi-
nator. in charge ofthe Division' s Central Office. on an interim bas is, until a deci sion
was made regarding one of three proposals: 10 have a Secrelary-Treasurer: a new
Cen tra l Office: or a Profess ional Administrator. And on recommendation of the
journal editor, An Kovacs. no action was taken by the Board of Directors regardi ng
incorporating the Division's journal.
The Committee for Woman, chaired by Hannah Lerman. decided to drop the
ideaofSectionstalUs,and toconce nlrat.eon its agenda withi n 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 shou ld 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 preparation 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 fo r women to acquaint themselves with
the process. it was felt that this could prove to be of interest to men as well.
At the Midw inter meeting, the Board moved a statement to comm unicate to
appropriate persons and legis latures urging passage o f the Equal Rig hts Amend-
ment and indicated that "This Board would fi nd it very difficult tosuppon meetings
in a state that has not ratified ERA:' T he Div is ion also sent a letter to the Florid,-l
state legislature inform ing them that we would not return for another Midwinter
meeti ng as long as the Florida Legislature failed to pass the Equal Rights Ame nd -
ment. In response to concerns brought totheiranention by the CfV..'. the Divis ion.
al its Ann ual Busi ness meeting, voted to advi se 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 wou ld boycolt Arizona un less their negat ive stance
regarding the ERA was changed.
At the 1977 Midwinter meeting. one of (he innovations was the forma tion of a
vo luntee 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 psychothem-
pist.

NOled in the news was the fact that another of our past pres idents. Nicholas A.

How proud we were ! (And how nice it wou ld have been if we could havchad access

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. Arizo na. on March 1-4.
Its theme. "The Family of Psychotherapies," represented interest in exploring the
• 25 •
diversi ty of current psychotherapeutic approaches while simultaneously identify -
ing the common family ties which provide our shared identity and a basis for
appreciating both similarilies and differences. A consultation/peer discussi on
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 Amendme nt.
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

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, in novation, 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 CO HI had a busy year negotiating with labor union s. 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 Associati o n of Blue Shield Plans. ThcCOH I report also addressed AAP' ,
complaint 10 the Federal Trade Commission about 1CAH guidelines for hospital

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 comm unicated 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 Executive 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 pre-
pared for, a woman's life is inevitably altered when she bears a child.
The sharpest fo resight fall short of predicting the scope of the parenting
experie nce that invariably demands more than the best prepared anticipate.
'\Vhen faced with an unsough t and unwanted conception, there is no
more reliable an index than the woman's self-assessment of her prepared-
ness to bear a child. No law. practice o r 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 concepti on are physically and emotion-
alI}' jeopardized and their opLions for progressi vesel f -direction are critical Iy
imperiled.
\ Ve are particularly distressed by the present governmental c limate
wherein poor and disadvantaged women are speci ficall y and differen·
tially excluded from the possibilities for abortion of unwanted pregnan-
cies which are now available on ly 10 the more advantaged.
Laws, policies or practices which force or favor unwanted childbeari ng
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. In 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 he ld 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 unu sually significant conLribution(s) in psychotherapy research,
theory or practice.
An Ad Hoc Commitlee to study the nominations and elections procedures of th e
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 Con-
cerning the Counsel ing and Therapy of v.'omen," developed by the Di vision 17
(Cou nseling) Ad Hoc Committee on \Vomen with contributions from many
· 28 · - - - - - - - - - - - --
Division 29 members. and endorsed by Di vision 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-wi nter
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 combi ned. 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
assessme nt 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 recogn i-
tion of his many conlTibutions as an academic and a practitioner. And the Student

Jack Wiggins was presiden t 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 Admi nistrative
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
nu rturing the Division':'s Midwinler Meetings from 1970-1973, :md Jules Barron
was selected 10 receive the Di,·ision's Disting uished Psychologist Award. Also at

mendation of Rac hel Hare-Mustin.and under lhe new system, the Nom inati ons and

to investigate the issues involved. Ou r Program Committee, chaired by Ellen
McGrath with Alice Rubenstein as Associate chair had done a remarkably fine job,
and the Board of Conve ntion Affairs had requested the forms they had developed
and the brochure done by Canter and McGrJ.lh. to use as models fo r other Divisions.
The Commillee on Group Psychotherapy was prepari ng 10 apply for Section status
and "Burnout" writlen hy Herb Freudenbergcr came ou t 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
c hairsof standi ngcomm iuees be rei mbursed fo r attendanceat' Midw inter 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 Independen t Pr'dctice. Council approved the fo rmation ofa Division of
Psychology and L.1W. bUl defeated the formation of an Independent PrJ.clice
· 30 · ---------------------
Di vision. \Vhile a majority of Council favored its establish ment, they did not
constitule the two-thirds majority necessary for appro\·aJ. The defeat was wide ly
inte rpreted by supporters of a ne w division, many of whom were me mbers of the
Di vision of Psychothe rapy, as a direct vote by academic-research interests agai nst
private pract ice interesLS in APA. Many old wounds were opened during the
discussions. and issues ofthe need for APA reorganization were raised.
Looki ng at the Bulletins o f the Division, I was struck by the breadth of concerns
addressed: concerns of practitioners regarding substanti ve psychotherapeutic
issues: rei mbu rsement and insurance mallers; organizational concerns regard ing
the profession; masters level psychotherapists. etc. etc. elc.
1980-1981
Our president, Herb Freudenberger, was writi ng in the Bulletin abou t "burn-
out:' and urgi ng us as a division to be sensitive to our col leagues. and to fu rthe r the
development and improve the competence of younger colleagues not only via
continui ng education opportu nities at our Midwinter and national meetings, bur
also via enco uraging their participati on in Divisional governance.
As of January I. 198 1. all Jou rnal busi ness operations were being conducted out
of the Divisio n's Central Office in River Edge. ew Jersey. How many of us
reme mber sending correspondence to Helen Merwede, Journ al Business Manage r,
Di vision of Psychotherapy, at 9 12 Kinderkamack Rd. in Ri ver Edge?
The Jan uary 198 1 meeting of Council was memorable. Roberts' Ru les of Order
were replaced by Keesey's Modem Parliamentary Procedure. And fi nally a new
code of ethics was adopted, aft er much discllssion, revision, and debate. It was at
this meeti ng, too. that Di vision 42. the Di vis ion of Independent Practice was
established. As descri bed by one of our Council Representatives. Ron Fox,
"Fo llowing heated. impass ioned, and, occasionally, enlightened argu ment on
behal f ofthe new division by Cou ncil reps from Di"ision 29, 12 and numerous state
assoc iations, the opposition was eroded ....•• (Oops, I fo rgot to reference this - but
I did see it in pri nl. )
At the 198 1 Midwinte r Board meeti ng. resolutions v,,'ere passed in support of
generic licensure for psychologisrs, with certification authorizing the use of
specialty tilles t ~ be reserved for psychologists who previously had met statutory
req uirements for generic licensure and with the adopti on of a position opposing
nonstatutory credemialing or specialty credentialing as alternatives to generic
licensu re. The Board also commun icated to the APA Board of Directors and the
Counci l its support for the prompt implementat ion and continuance o f an effecti ve
mechanism for publicly identifying doctoral training programs in psyc hology,
recommend ing th:ll such a mechanism be based upon objective criteria for program

evaluation and conslituled with inter-organizational represe ntat ion from ed uca-
tional. professional. and credentialing bodies; that such a mechanism not be limited
to the des ignati on of clinical. counseling. and school psychology programs or
programs educating hea lth service provider psychologists.
Di scussion also centered around the Di vision' s proceeding with explorarions of
the com mission of a non-techn ical paper showing the efricacy of verbal psycho-
therapy; 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 di stinguishing psychotherapy from welfare. written from a business point
of view. It was hoped thm th ese papers would illuminate psychotherapy's potential
cont ri butions to the educati onaL judiciary, and penal syste ms, and to the develop-
ment of a stable society through resolving conflicts with in marriages and families.
The Board voted $ 10.000 for the wriling of these posi ti on 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 ti on system as a
reimbursement :.J1tem alive 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 Practi ce 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 Standl ey. chai r ofthe 1982 Midwintermeetingcontacl Divisions J 2,
39 and 42 as well as the American Group Psychot herapy Ass n. to explore the idea
of a joint Midwinter meeting.
Candidates for ortice this early in the decade were al l talking 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 psycholo-
gists as psychotherap ists, and to work for social programs to contri bute to the pu bl ic
good. Presentations \vere focus ing on the need to in fluence public policy affecting
health se rvice providers. on the promotion of men tal health as well as the prevention
of mental illness, and, at home. on APA organi zation and the complex issues faci ng

wi lli ngness to make difficult decisions regardin gs landards foreduc..1tio n, training.
practi ce and research in psychother..t.py. and to reflect the emerging needs of various
groups and their effec t on the fami ly and society. The Division had the foresight to
· 32 •
investigate the concept of a mod el 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 electi ons
procedures. The following Ad Hoc Comm iuees were designated as standing
committees: Fellows, Continuing Education. Finance, Publications Board, Com-
mittee 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 Jul es Barron and Ben Fabrikant
and called " Psychotherapy and Psychologists" and the Creative Contributi ons
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 dUffin g APA convention; the establish-
ment 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 Contracti ng and Informed Conse n t~

to Division 16; and the opening oflhe l\·1idwinter meeting to added sponsors. Karen
Zager. History chai rperson , ra ised questions concerning the submission of historic
documents to the APA archives, and it was suggested that a legal opinion be
solicited from APA regarding possible privacy issues where certain correspon-

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 in vitation 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 established our first Seclion: Group
Psychotherapy. Chaired by Arf Teicher, with Jules Barron as Secretary, Harold
Greenwal d 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. Accord-
ing to An 's "Inaugural Statement" in the PsychOlherapy Buf/eli" (Vol 16. No.2.
p.20), "As our understanding of group psychotherapy becomes more sophistie<lIed
and theoretically more substantial, \'r'e recognize the need for crite ria which will
depict differences between modality and technique, between reparati ve. prophylac-
tic 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 param-
eters but different processes of interpersonal interaction that both produce as well
as renect a totally differe nt context and milieu for reparative me ntal health
purposes ...... To fulfill this mission without fragmenting or splintering the o rgani-
z4u ional structure or pu rpose 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 practice of group psychotherapy such as, the CSL.1blishment
of training criteri a, confrontation of the clinical-ethical, therapeutic. and legal
aspects of the issue of confiden tiality; problems of insurance reimbursement
relevant to group psychotherJpy practice; lice nsi ng. and accreditation ..... "
At our Mid-Winter Board Meeti ng. Central Office functioning was reviewed.
and everyone was ve ry 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 ex tended through 1987.
The Di vision's financial condition was very strong. and the Board voted. on
recommen dation 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 chall enge on hospital privilages. A $5000 contribution was
allocated [0 PLA . a separately incorporated organization 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 involve-
ments 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 o n 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 interacti ons of the Retreat really renected five m.a jor ar:eas
of concern: quali ty control and access to the profession; advocacy and social/ethical
responsibility~ redefi nition an d implementation of psychological prdctice~ market-
ing: 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:

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 psycho-
therapy 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 wh ich
would be of panicular concem to them and requested. along wi th COPP and COLI
to seek relief from medical practice acts regarding the right of psychologists to
adv ise 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 su mmari zing some of the results of the retreat and asking their
reacti ons to the idea of a meeting of division presidents to dea l with issues of
common concern to the applied divisions. And to help support (v,'ith APA and
several other app lied divisions) a project conducted by an external finn to compile
data on the costs of providing mental health coverage or for augme nting existing
benefi ts in pri vate insurance plans. they voted to allocate S2500 immediately . with
up toan add itional $2500committed forthenext fiscal year, ifneeded.and provided

The Distinguished Psychologist Award for 1981 was presented to Arthur

to exami ning.
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 resol utions to the APA Counci l. The first asked that the Policy
and Planning Board of APA draft a Bylaw Ame ndmen t which would define the
membership of the MembershipCommittee of APA to consist of two members each
from Research/Academic, Public/social and Professio nal/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 fo r
ratification as official policyofthe Assoc iation to beofficial ly included in the Ru les
of Cou ncil.
We were also pleased with the election of Ron Fox. our fearless leader. under
whose stewardship the Di vision 29 had accomplished so much. to the Board of
Directors of APA.

Committees continued to be vcf)' aClive. Division liaison re lationships were
established wil h 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

provide a mechanism for increased liaison among interdivisional ethnic minority

85% of the Division's membership was interested in issues of pn.lctice. and was

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 catal yst 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 ti es forgmduale
ed ucation and training in professional psychology; the Psy.D. as the appropriate
degree; education and training to be at the doclora llevel. at least four post-bachelor
years, and generic. following thepractitioner-scienlist model: professional schools

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 Psychol-
ogy, Advocacy and Public Policy Psychology, Environmen tal Psychology and
Psychopharmacology. If 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
Hospitality 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 ach ieving 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 sen t 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\V inter meeting. heldat the Greenbrier in \\lest Virginia, was the first
one that was jointly sponsored. Combining forces with Division 42. the Division
of Indepe ndent Practice, was a very successful. enriching cxperience. and it was
decided lO make thisjoinl sponsorship permane nt. Guidelines forthe eslablishment
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

I noted in a Com mittee For Women Report (PsychorJrerapy Bul/elill Vol. 17.
No.4, p. 9) an ac knowl edgcme nt that thi s Divi sion "is presently adequmely
represcnted in officers and c~U1did ale~ fo r office by persons of both sexes.,." I

open to having theircollecti ....e social consc iousness mised. but also to be wi lling to

As the first woman preside nt of thc Division of Psychotherapy. I was handed the
gavel at the annua l business meeting of the Di .... ision. held at APA in August of
1983. (I mu SI confess. it was rea ll y a speci~11 experience!) There were then three

something new that yea r: sending monthly updates (Q the Board members and

The 1984 Mid-\Vinter Convention of Divisions 29 and 42 was held in San

Hannah Lerman was in (he process of annotat ing the extensive bibliography she had

It was voted at the Midwin ter l\'leeti ng 1984 that the titl e of our major
Professional Award be changed (0: " Distingu ished Psycho log ist Award for
Contributions to Psycho logy and Psyc hotherapy." It was felt that this would better
reflect the Di visio n' s mi ss io n. and the ame nded title was ummimously adopted by
the Board . Robert A. Harper - Bo b Harper to a lmost all of us - was un an imously
se lected to rece ive the Dislin gui s hed Psycho logist Award for 19&4. which was

Keeping in mind o ur multiple inte rests in vo lvi ng psychothera py. we needed to
direct our strongest efforts not on ly towards our s urvi val in the marketplace and o ur
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 foc us on these issues,

a legal opinio n regarding an issue of breach of confidenti ality of the doctor/patient
relati onship 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 recogniti on of psycho-
logical services by the insurance industry. \Ve sent Evelyn Hill as our Observer to
atte nd 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

The Group Psychotherapy section established a Peer Review Committee under
the leadershi p of Malcolm Marks and Larry Kutash, 10 defi ne and designate the
problems of peer review in group psychotherapy and deve lop principles related to

The Division was approved as a Continuing Education sponsor by APA. thereby
increasing its potential for becoming instrumental in providing high qualit y

Once again. at th e suggestion of the Division 's Continuing Education Chair, Aaron

As President I wrote a series ofle[ters to APA requesting a change in procedures
10 enable new mcmbers of Divisions to be placed o n 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 cha nged, 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 Cou ncil. this re~olu l ion to be referred to the
Committee on SlrucLUre and Function of Counci l. or introduced to Council by our

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

Raymond A. DiGiuseppe. an outslanding young research/practice/training psy-

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

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
purs ue 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 o nly 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 prov ide local supervision. A three-year contract with a three

Phoenix, and help the new Central Office Administrator, Pauline \Vampler and our

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
capability,) she cooperated fully and gracious ly in seeing us through our crisis and

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

Division activities with other Divisio ns of the Americ~tn Psychol ogical Associa-

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 Iss ue Committees review their current missions in the light of both parallel
commi ttees existing in other divi sio ns and the work being done by paid staff in Ihe
APA directorates, and consider whether it would be appropriale to conlinue as a
divisio nal committee. to fonn an interdivisional co mmiuee o r task force. or to
function as a liaison, either divisional or inte rdi visional, to o ne oflhe direclorates.
It was also suggesled that the existing li~li soll structure sho uld be updated to reflect
the reorgani zati on of APA 's Central Office, and Ihat co nsidera ti o n should be given
to the sharing of liaisons with other practice divisions.
In lemlS of membership grow th, this was a good year for the Division. Assisted

 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 di scussant.
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 assess-

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

printed malcnals. by urging the inclusion of aging in lists of diversities as in
accred itation 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 rai sed for consideration _
At an interdivisional Gender Issues Committee meeting at Midwinter, it was

during which leadership development content would be combined with nurturing.
