How time flies when one is having fun! I am amazed to find myself writing my final presidential column as the weather chills and we near the holidays. It has been a great honor to serve the Society for the Advancement of Psychotherapy over the past year and I look forward to continuing my involvement […]
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 […]
Hello Everyone! As you read this, over half of my presidential year will have passed and I would again like to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve the Society for the Advancement of Psychotherapy (SfAP) in this role. I am very much looking forward to the APA convention and all of our […]
Greetings to all! I am honored and excited to begin my presidential year in service to the Society for Advancement of Psychotherapy (SfAP). I am really looking forward to the year’s work, which began January 1, just as they all promised me it would (smile). As I write this note, I have just returned from […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
