President’s column.

This column announces the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the first 18 divisions of the American Psychological Association (APA). This anniversary also coincides with the golden age of consulting psychology. The author highlights the uniqueness of the Division of Consulting Psychology which is a casually elegant home for psychologists who value relationships among its members above all and has a culture that values competence and collaboration.

President’s column: "The Catalyst Division" vision: Strengthening our core.

Driven by individual consumer demand for balance in work and family lifestyles, organizational demand for effectiveness and total quality management (TQM), advances in psychological knowledge and consulting know-how, competent practitioners, and a strong American Psychological Association (APA), the practice of consulting psychology is growing. This, in turn, increases the demands placed on the Division of Consulting Psychology and creates the need for a strong infrastructure to serve its constituents. During the 1995-1996 year, we will strengthen our core in the following five areas: committees, constituents, knowledge, practice, and training.

President’s column.

This column describes the transformation of the Division of Consulting Psychology. Due to a membership decline, Division 13 reinvented itself in a remarkable turnaround using organizational psychotechnology developed in large part by its constituency. Since that time, the Catalyst Division has enabled more members of the American Psychological Association to transform themselves into professional, psychological consultants than at any other time in APA history.

The president’s column.

This column describes the decision at the 1996 Mid-Winter Meeting, in which the Division of Consulting Psychology decided to create pre- and postdoctoral standards for training in and the practice of consulting psychology. Predoctoral standards can be established in terms of the basic knowledge and adequate experience for entry into the field. Postdoctoral standards can be established in terms of hoops and competencies for those holding out to be consulting psychologists. The column concludes with a brief overview of the Catalyst Division's Corporate Consulting Conference in February. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
