Apa Announcement From Dana Lasek


Sent on behalf of Dana Lasek, our APA Council Representative for IPA

An announcement from Arthur C. Evans, PhD, CEO for APA 

We are reaching out to share news about a historic moment for APA and the field of psychology. 

During its October 29 meeting, our APA Council of Representatives adopted an apology for APA’s role–and the role of the discipline of psychology–in contributing to systemic racism. The apology acknowledges that APA “failed in its role leading the discipline of psychology, was complicit in contributing to systemic inequities, and hurt many through racism, racial discrimination, and denigration of people of color, thereby falling short on its mission to benefit society and improve lives”. 

The resolution, which passed unanimously, acknowledges that the association should have apologized sooner. “APA, and many in psychology, have long considered such an apology, but failed to accept responsibility,” the resolution says. 

The APA Council of Representatives also adopted two accompanying resolutions, one delineating APA’s and psychology’s role going forward in dismantling systemic racism and the other pledging to work to advance health equity in psychology. The former directs APA’s CEO to develop a long-term plan to prioritize, operationalize and ensure accountability for achieving real action toward the goals identified in the resolutions. This plan is to be presented to the Council at its meeting in August 2022. 

These three resolutions reflect a monumental undertaking involving a broad cross-section of APA’s members, including our elected and appointed leaders. The work was spearheaded by the APA Task Force on Strategies to Eradicate Racism, Discrimination, and Hate and its five-member Apology Advisory Subcommittee and the APA Presidential Task Force on Psychology and Health Equity, all composed of eminent psychologists who were chosen for their knowledge and expertise. 

The apology and dismantling racism resolutions represent a significant milestone in APA’s commitment and promise to examine the role that the field of psychology and the association itself have played in promoting and sustaining racial inequity. By affirming these resolutions as association policies, APA is in a much more informed position to take meaningful action, and ultimately, diversify and strengthen the organization and field of psychology.


The apology and resolutions are just the beginning of the work we must do to eradicate racism and discrimination within our field and build an equitable and diverse discipline. This requires psychologists across our profession to work together as allies.  

We want to engage SPTAs and APA members, learn from your lived experience and hear from you. We invite you and SPTA members to join us for one or more of the following APA town halls to learn more about these historic resolutions and to share your ideas.

November 4 at 6:00 PM ET (REGISTER HERE) 

November 9 at 11:30 AM ET (REGISTER HERE)

Sincerely, 

Jennifer F. Kelly, PhD, ABPP

Daniel -

The access difficulty is because you were trying to access a presentation that was live yesterday. There are no concurrent sessions today.

Dan:

You probably couldn't get in as Courtney's presentation was yesterday.
Hope you are doing well my friend.

Good morning:

Wasn’t sure who to contact...I tried to get into Courtney Johnson’s talk this morning but wasn’t allowed in despite several attempts.  Ended up getting into Garry’s talk but was 10 minutes late by the time I gave up trying to get into Courtney’s.

Thanks,

Daniel
