2. provide articles and commentary regarding the range of issues that are of interest to psychotherapy theorists, researchers, practitioners, and trainers;
3. establish a forum for students and new members to offer their contributions; and
4. facilitate opportunities for dialogue and collaboration among the diverse members of our Society.
