Congratulations to Dr. Dale Larson and Dr. Jerrold Shapiro on being elected as Fellows in the American Psychological Association (APA), both for a second consecutive time.
In 2009, Dr. Larson was elected as a Fellow in Division 38 of the American Psychological Association. The Council of Representatives of APA acknowledged Dr. Larson’s outstanding contributions to the field of Health Psychology, and concurred with the Division recommendation to name him Fellow, Division 38. In 2008, Dr. Larson was also elected a Fellow in Division 17, Counseling Psychology.
This last May (2009), Dr. Shapiro was elected a Fellow of Division 42 (Independent Practice). Dr. Shapiro was also elected as a Fellow of Division 43 (The Society of Family Psychology) in 2008 and made his address to the Society during APA at the annual conference.
Background about Fellows:
"Fellow status is an honor bestowed upon American Psychological Association APA Members who have shown evidence of unusual and outstanding contributions or performance in the field of psychology .... Fellow status requires that a person's work has had a national impact on the field of psychology beyond a local, state, or regional level. A high level of competence or steady and continuing contributions are not sufficient to warrant Fellow status. National impact must be demonstrated."
