INFO: Morton Alfred Seidenfeld, Request for Information/Assistance

Dear Division 20 members:

For my presidential address for Division 26 (History) at next year's APA, I am trying to learn more about a former Division 20 President, Morton Alfred Seidenfeld (b. 1904).

In 1945 he played a key role in opposing Jewish quotas in clinical psychology education that were being proposed by the editor of the Journal of Clinical Psychology.

Any reminiscences, obituaries and such will be welcome. I am not a subscriber to this list and ask that a copy of any postings be sent directly to me.

Thank you!

Regards,

STUDENTS: Summer Training on Aging Research Topics - Mental Health (START-MH) Program

Summer Training on Aging Research Topics - Mental Health (START-MH) Program, conducted by the Division of Geriatric Psychiatry at University of California, San Diego, with grant support from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), is a unique national program that offers competitive scholarships to undergraduate, graduate, and medical students who may be interested in aging and mental health research.The program gives students an opportunity to gain research experience and work closely with an established mentor/investigator.

The training will include a rigorous research experience with comprehensive mentoring and advising. During the 10-week summer program, students will work on specific projects developed by, or in conjunction with their mentor. Training sites are located across the country. Students may select their own mentors or they can be matched with mentors based on their research interest and/or geographical area. Shorter training experiences (e.g., 8 weeks) may be arranged under special circumstances. The training is designed for students at all research levels and no formal research experience is necessary. In addition to research, students will be encouraged to attend educational opportunities at their host institution such as research seminars, journal clubs, and case conferences. Students will learn research methods relevant to geriatric mental health.

A 2-day START-MH conference will be held at UCSD in early August where the trainees will present posters on the research done. Additionally, the conference will include discussions of all trainees research experience and plans for future research careers.

Undergraduate participants will receive $5000 for the 10-week training. Graduate and medical student participants will receive $6250 for the 10-week training. The program stipend will be prorated accordingly for shorter training experiences. From this stipend, students are responsible for arranging and paying for their own meals, housing and travel expenses during the training experience. The program will pay for all expenses related to the START-MH conference at UCSD in August. The application for summer 2006 placements is Friday, January 20, 2006. Additional program information is available at http://startmh.ucsd.edu/ or by calling Geraldine Trinidad at (858)642-3966.

INFO/CONFERENCES: Announcing the 2006 APA Advanced Training Institutes

APA Science Directorate

The APA Science Directorate will sponsor five ATIs in the summer of 2006. These week-long summer programs expose new and established faculty, researchers, and advanced graduate students to state of the art psychological research methods and emerging technologies. More information about these exciting programs can be found at http://www.apa.org/science/ati.html

The first 2006 ATI will take place May 21-26 at Massachusetts General Hospital in Charlestown. This suburb of Boston will set the backdrop for an ATI on functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), with a special focus on data analysis. The course provides training and hands-on experience in experimental design and imaging methods. Directed by Robert L. Savoy, PhD, head of fMRI Education at Massachusetts General Hospital, the course is designed for active researchers who are new to the field of fMRI. Applications for this course must be submitted by February 17, 2006.

The second ATI will take place June 5-9, 2006 at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville. This program will feature a series of lectures and computer workshops on longitudinal methods, modeling, and measurement in contemporary psychological research using structural equation modeling. John McArdle, PhD, Karen Schmidt, PhD, and John Nesselroade, PhD, will lead the course. Applications must be submitted by February 28, 2006.

A third ATI will be held June 5-9, 2006 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, focusing on the use of large-scale datasets. Data from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care will be thoroughly introduced, so that researchers may independently use and train others to use the NICHD databases for original scholarship and publication. Applications must be submitted by February 28, 2006.

From July 10-14, 2006, APA will hold an ATI on performing web-based research at the University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls. Topics will include web-based data collection, shared databases, and Authorware. Applications must be submitted by March 15, 2006.

The final ATI of the summer will be held July 17-21, 2006 at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, covering non-linear methods for psychological science.

INFO: Posting to this list; list membership

Dear colleagues:

Periodically, I post information about this list, to update newer members. For others, please excuse this procedural note.

1. To post information to the list, please send e-mails TO ME (marsiske@ufl.edu), and not directly to the list. To control spam, I am the only one with posting privileges, and I ignore the (several dozen) messages send directly to the list everyday (because 99.9% of them are spam). If you send a message directly to the listserv, it will likely get deleted, because I will assume it is spam.

2. Listserv policies are posted at http://apadiv20.phhp.ufl.edu/Division20Listservpolicies.doc . We generally only post _announcements_ in the categories of JOBS, STUDENTS, AWARDS, CONFERENCES, FUNDING, and INFORMATION. At the request of members, we do not treat the list as a discussion list, and generally do not post requests for information, rare texts, etc. We will occasionally post student roommate requests for conferences, if the student agrees to serve as a "matchmaker" for all responses he/she receives.

3. List membership changes dynamically as people join/leave the list. Once a month or so, we post the "latest" list membership at http://apadiv20.phhp.ufl.edu/direct_new.htm. Because of the roughly one-month lag, recent changes will be reflected in list operation (i.e., you will start or stop receiving list e-mail), but may not be reflected in the online directory for several months. Note that addresses that experience frequence "bounces" or delivery errors may be automatically deleted from the list; this is not under my direct control. Many universities also now prohibit auto-forwarding of messages to commercial servers (e.g., hotmail, yahoo, msn, etc.). Finally, some universities treat listserv messages as "spam" and block it, unless you have list mail added to your whitelist. So, please check with your institutional IT support staff if you experience frequent delivery disruptions. You can always use the other ways of checking list mail (below) to verify receipt.

4. Instructions on how to add/delete/change an e-mail address from the list can be found at http://apadiv20.phhp.ufl.edu/joinpsya.htm.

5. For those who do not want their e-mail inboxes filled with list messages, you can unsubscribe and there are now three alternative ways to receive list messages: - RSS/XML/ATOM feed: http://psyaging-l.blogspot.com/atom.xml - Listserv archives (searchable): http://apadiv20.phhp.ufl.edu/psyaging.htm - Automated weblog of list messages: http://psyaging-l.blogspot.com/

As always, thanks to all of you for being a great community!

STUDENTS: Student delegates to Geropsychology Training Conference

To: Students and Faculty Mentors/Supervisors of Students interested in participating in the National Conference on Training in Professional Geropsychology

The conference planning committee is pleased to see the strong level of interest in this conference by graduate, internship, and postdoctoral geropsychology students. We've received a number of requests from students for more information about the conference. We are seeking two student delegates each for the grad, intern, and postdoc training levels. The student delegates will be active participants in the conference working groups that will be making recommendations regarding geropsychology training models. (To clarify, this conference will be limited to 40-50 people because it is a working meeting aiming to produce specific recommendations, rather than a conference where many people go to hear expert speakers.)

Given many training programs likely have multiple qualified and interested students, WE ARE SUGGESTING THAT EACH PROGRAM WITH MORE THAN ONE INTERESTED STUDENT ENCOURAGE JUST ONE STUDENT TO APPLY. We would be unlikely to accept more than one student delegate from the same program, so it seems fair to let programs decide which student they would like to apply. We do expect to be able to fund student travel to the conference. Student applications should be the same as applications from other interested psychologists: We just need your CV and a one-page statement of interest regarding why you would like to attend the conference and what you feel you could contribute. Per below, applications should be sent electronically to Forrest Scogin at fscogin@as.ua.edu.

The original conference announcement was as follows:

Announcement: Seeking Delegates for Geropsychology Training Conference

A National Conference on Training in Professional Geropsychology is planned for June 8-11, 2006 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Psychologists with experience related to geropsychology training, practice, and/or research are encouraged to apply to serve as at-large conference delegates. The purpose of this conference is to develop aspirational educational models at the doctoral, internship, post-doctoral, and post-licensure levels for training psychologists with specialized preparation for providing psychological services to older adults.

It is expected that approximately 15 at-large participants will be invited to participate in this working conference. These at-large participants will be joined by representatives of specific stakeholder groups. At-large delegates will be selected to ensure adequate representation across specialty areas, work settings, training roles, career stage, geographical region, and gender, age, and cultural background. Additionally, student representatives will be selected at the graduate, internship, and postdoctoral levels.

Invitees will be expected to cover the cost of travel and lodging with their own funds or those of their sponsoring organization. A scholarship fund will be available for students and, if funding allows, for other psychologists.

Applications should include a one-page statement of potential contributions to the training conference and a vita. Materials should be submitted electronically to the chair of the selection and invitation committee Forrest Scogin, Ph.D. (fscogin@as.ua.edu) by February 1, 2006. Selections will be announced by March 15, 2006. Questions can be directed to the chair of the committee or to Michele Karel, Ph.D. (Michele.Karel@va.gov), co-chair of the training conference.

Thanks,

INFO: Updated RSS/XML feeds

Greetings:

A number of you have begun to read Division 20 news via our XML/RSS feeds (using a newsreader client), rather than through the listserv.

This is to let you know that we have now automated this feed, so that it will be updated concurrent with the sending of each e-mail to the Division 20 list. There is a new address for the Division's feed: http://psyaging-L.blogspot.com/atom.xml. The old RSS feed will be removed. The RSS link remains, as it has been for several months, at the top of the Division 20 home page (http://apadiv20.phhp.ufl.edu).

Division members who are subscribed to our listserv will continue to receive messages that way, unless they opt out and actively subscribe to the RSS feed. This simply constitutes a second way of receiving the news.

On this note, you may be interested to know that APA itself is now distributing information via RSS. Their PsycPORT service may be subscribed to via: http://www.psycport.com/siteware/rssfeed.xml. Individual APA journals now also broadcast RSS feeds. For a list of individual subscription opportunities, visit http://www.apa.org/journals/rss.html .
