Editor’s Note – Winter 2017

Welcome to the Winter Issue of Trauma Psychology News! I would like to start with a warm, personal thanks to Dr. Elizabeth Carll for her tireless efforts as our division president. Although she will be shifting to the role of immediate past president, her presidential work in international trauma psychology along with the Refugee Mental Health Network remains a major focus of our division, and a lasting part of her legacy as president. A huge welcome to Dr. Diane Castillo as our new president and Dr. Sylvia Marotta-Walters as our president-elect.

This issue is an exciting one, packed will superb content from our hard-working and brilliant members, including experiences on Capitol Hill, papers on military trauma theory and practice as well as diversity and multicultural issues in trauma work, an international committee interview, and much more. Also, please check out the pictures from our award ceremony at the APA convention in August—these memories will be sure to warm us all during these cold months!

All the Best,

 

Bryan
