| Abstract: | The International Humanitarian Award recognizes extraordinary humanitarian services and activism by psychologists, including professional and volunteer work conducted primarily in the field with underserved populations. Award recipients are psychologists who, by their extraordinary service at a difficult time, improve the lives and contribute to the well-being of people in a large or small geographic area anywhere in the world. The 2009 recipient of this award is Michael G. Wessells. Along with a citation, biography, and selected bibliography, Wessells' paper, entitled Do no harm: Toward contextually appropriate psychosocial support in international emergencies, is included, a version of which was presented at the American Psychological Association's annual convention.
