Experience as a teacher: For more than 25
years, in my role as Professor of Psychology at Fairleigh Dickinson University
in NJ, I have been training graduate students in clinical psychology. For the
last four years I've served as the Director of Clinical Training for the FDU
APA-accredited scientist-practitioner Ph.D. Program in Clinical Psychology, and
for the past 11 years I've been the Director of the FDU APA-designated M.S.
Program in Clinical Psychopharmacology, one of only six in the nation training
licensed psychologists in pharmacotherapy. We're currently in the process of
developing a Certificate Program in Integrated Primary Care, because this is
another important pillar of the future of the profession. I love teaching, and students seem to get a lot out of my courses.

| Experience as a scientist: I've
authored over 150 refereed articles, presentations, books, and book chapters,
mainly in the areas of psychological assessment and professional issues in
pharmacotherapy for psychologists. I've been published in some of the most
selective journals in the field, includingScience,American Psychologist,
Psychological Bulletin,Psychological Methods,Psychological Assessment,
Journal of Personality Assessment, and Professional Psychology. I have been
an editor for several journals and a reviewer for many, and have three times been awarded
the Society for Personality Assessment Martin Mayman Award for my research. Sample
publications may be found here. |

Experience in practice policy: I chaired the task force
that developed the APA practice guidelines in pharmacotherapy for psychologists,
co-chair the Integrated Primary Care Committee for Division 38, and have been a member of
every task force and committee APA has convened in psychologists' training in
pharmacotherapy in the last five years. Though I no longer maintain a personal clinical practice, my activities demonstrate my abiding interest in enhancing the quality of practice.

|
Experience in political advocacy: I have now testified to legislators in
a number of states about pending bills for psychologists, and I have been a forceful and effective advocate for psychology in those settings. I have also been involved in community advocacy, working to get local bills passed, particularly having to do with environmental issues.
