PAST PRESIDENT REPORT

I hope that all of our

ICP members and their

families have a won-

derful holiday season

and a happy and

healthy New Year.

We are all excited

about the 2016 ICP

Conference in Japan

in July. Please visit

our website to submit proposals and register

for the conference.

We are now accepting membership re-

newals from our current members and en-

courage new members to join ICP. Our mem-

bership dues are very reasonable beginning

this year and we hope to attract new mem-

bers for ICP. Please also email me at

[email protected] if you want to become

involved in ICP.

I am working with the subcommittees to

review the application process for new mem-

bers and to develop approaches which will

appeal to students and early career psycholo-

gists. We are working with graduate students

currently on the membership subcommittee

and other interested students. I am also work-

ing with the technology subcommittee to de-

termine how to implement the proposed mid-

year meeting using virtual approaches.

I have also been working at the UN with

members of psychology NGOs including

ICP, in the development of the next Psychol-

ogy Day at the UN which will take place on

April 21, 2016. The theme of the major event

will be Migration and include considerations

of the issue of refugees from war-torn re-

gions of the world. We already have two

Missions co-sponsoring the program.

I also participated in the International

Day of Older Persons (IDOP) celebration at

PRESIDENT’S COLUMN

event was "sustainability and age inclu-

siveness in the urban environment."

These are a few of my recent activi-

ties mostly including other members of

the ICP UN team.

Thanks so much. Happy Holidays to

all!

Leadership Approach: a Call for

Nominations

“Leaders aren’t born, they are

made.” – Vince Lombardi

The very essence of leadership is a possi-

ble potential in each one of us. However,

the manifestation of that leadership de-

pends on how we make use of that poten-

tial. We have the option of actively form-

ing and shaping that potential or passively

watching that potential fail and dissipate

rather than grow, blossom, and flourish.

This is the basis of the training I de-

veloped for new and emerging mental

health professionals in our community

clinic in Los Angeles. (www.imces.org)

The emphasis in our APA-accredited

clinical training program for doctoral in-

terns is leadership competency develop-

ment in the context of diversity. The con-

text of diversity is everywhere, as we live

Tokyo, Japan. December 2015

First of all, let me express my wishes for a Happy and

Peaceful Season’s Greetings to you.

It has been 4 months since I started my role of P-E.

and Chair, Preparatory Committee, Yokohama Confer-

ence. I thank our S-G Nancy Quatrano and all of the In-

ternational Advisory committee members for their help.

At this opportunity, I would like to make things clearer so

that you will be able to learn about how to join our Asso-

ciation and to attend the Conference:

A. ICP (ICP2016) and ICP, Inc. (our Association). The

74th ICP, Inc. Conference, Yokohama will be held

July 22-25 in conjunction with ICP2016, (July 24-29)

at the same venue. I find that two ‘ICP’ names might

be confusing. So, firstly, I will explain about the two

and their relationships as follows:

1. Outline of Associations. Both ICP, Inc. and ICP2016

are under the auspices of IUpsyS. The latter is the Con-

gress (International Congress of Psychologists) which is

held every 4 years. One Psychology Association repre-

senting each country holds a membership and supports

the IUpsyS, but individual psychologists from all over the

world can join this Congress when it is held. ICP, Inc. is

also under the auspices of IUpsyS and supports it. It is

free for individuals to become members and enjoy its an-

nual Conference. ICP and ICP, Inc. have a good relation-

ship historically in terms of exchange of scholarly com-

munications, etc. And, ICP, Inc. usually holds its annual

Conference close by in terms of venues and dates. Some-

times they have joint academic sessions.

For this reason, our ICP, Inc. is going to hold its confer-

ence in conjunction with ICP2016 in July, 2016. We have

already set up a joint symposium there.

2. With this, we aim at having a win – win relationship.

We will enjoy associations with many more colleagues

from different countries during this opportunity.

For this particular event, we have made a contract with

ICP2016 that will allow:

and breathe among diversity. I believe that leadership and

diversity are connected. Responsible leadership develop-

ment includes identifying similarities among differences,

recognizing and acknowledging differences for their valu-

able contributing quality and, with that spirit, developing

a bridge of unity among diversity.

Life brings so many opportunities to either stay in a

passive, victim, powerless mode, or to use the very vic-

timizing event as an opportunity to lead. Sometimes our

strength manifests from the very helpless and powerless

position. Take, for example, Malala Yousafzai – a young

girl victimized by a radical group for her quest for the

basic human right of education. Malala, who had advo-

cated for the education of girls in an area where girls had

been banned from attending schools, was shot with the

intention of killing her. Malala survived and chose to turn

around the very victimizing situation and lead a campaign

for education and human rights for girls, even in danger-

ously oppositional conditions.

Every one of us has a similar, if not as tragic a story.

The question is, what do we do with it? My hope is that

we can be inspired by many similar situations around us

and choose to take a leadership role, using our skills and

commitment to influence our profession in an effective

way.

In this spirit of taking an active role in support of our

shared mission of our organization, ICP, I am calling on

you to nominate individuals for leadership positions in

ICP. These may be self-nominations, as well. Addition-

ally, I invite you to consider serving as a member of

ICP’s Nominations and Elections Committee.

Looking forward to your demonstration of leadership

spirit and active participation.

Please respond directly to me, via email at

[email protected].

With Warm Regards,

Dr. Tara Pir, ICP Past President

UNITED NATIONS REPORT

PAGE 4 IP VOLUME 55, NO. 3 DECEMBER INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF PSYCHOLOGISTS

I attended the Conference of

NGOs in Consultative Rela-

tionship with the United Na-

tions (CoNGO) a celebration of 70 Years of United Na-

tions and Cooperation with NGOs: Shared Ideals,

Shared Values, Shared Futures; The Role of NGOs in

Securing a Sustainable Future on Monday 5 October

2015 at the Vienna International Centre (VIC). This event

was celebrated in New York and Geneva earlier this year.

The program consisted of a welcome address of

Wolfgang Beigelboeck, the CoNGO Vice-President, Vi-

enna; an introduction by Cyril Ritchie, President of

Congo with the title “Shared Ideals, Shared Values,

Shared Futures”; and two keynotes by Martin Nesirsky,

Director, United Nations Information Service (UNIS) Vi-

enna, and Stefano Prato, Managing Director, Society for

International Development (SID), Rome. After the key-

notes, statements were given by chairs of the NGO Com-

mittees in Vienna.

Mr Beigelboeck stated that October 5, 2015 is the

“World Habitat Day”. In Resolution 40/202 of 17 Decem-

ber 1985, the UN General Assembly designated the first

Monday of October of every year as World Habitat Day.

In 2015, the United Nations chose the theme Public

Spaces for All. The World Habitat Day 2015 campaign aims to rec-

ognize the challenges and issues around Public Spaces.

The streets and public spaces have often been overlooked

and undervalued, but are increasingly being considered

the backbone of cities. Public spaces are places which are

accessible and enjoyable by all without a profit motive

and take on various spatial forms, including parks, streets,

sidewalks, markets and playgrounds. Good public spaces

enhance community cohesion and promote health, happi-

ness, and well-being for all citizens as well as fostering

investment, economic development and environmental

sustainability. Additionally he stated that the UN is work-

ing in dangerous situations, doing dangerous work at dan-

gerous places and fosters the relationship between local

and international NGOs. Above all, the UN is expected to

be the governor of peace and human rights. The diversity

of NGOs is both strength and weakness; at the same time

they give a vital contribution for the citizens of the world.

Mr Ritchie talked about “Shared Ideals, Shared Val-

ues, Shared Futures” [which] lead to shared actions. Ac-

tions depend on the courage of NGO members. Many or

most UN conventions come from NGO initiatives. NGOs

have to be vigilant to spread good practices. But there are

obstacles: (1) money: UN has serious problems to get

money from members, (2) implementation - NGOs have

to put pressure on governments to implement the UN de-

cisions and resolutions and, (3) increasing restrictions of

NGOs. Considering shared futures, NGOs have come an

immensely long way as a voice of the people. For 2030 -

we should plan implementations and actions for shared

responsibility we not only want, but need!

Mr Nesirsky said CONGO is nurturing and fostering

cooperation of UN-NGOs and civil society. Civil society

is the oxygen of the society, peace and human rights. No

country can do this alone. NGOs are supporting the UN

and they also monitor the work, analyze it and evaluate

failure and success. Peace to the People and the Millen-

nium Goals aim that less than 10% of people will live in

poverty soon. The extreme poverty rate has been halved,

but major challenges remain. This is done jointly [by]

evaluating the shortcomings, taking actions to prevent

backslide, and securing the chance for the future.

Mr Prato talked about the theory of change which is

unfolding around us 7 pillars - growing and expanding

goods - water today, air tomorrow - forms of homogeni-

zations: you find all the same products at the Amazonas

or in New York - cooptation of science - decreasing role

of the state - loss of serenity - shrinking of democratic

space - numbers over voices - pressure of media - pro-

gressive capture of public space - use of law as instrument

of power - nutrition. Several challenges are related to

modernity: existential challenges, second causes of deaths

are suicide, 800.000/yrs., ethical aspects of science and

technology, poverty, violence and culture of violence,

kids are daily exposed, data revolution etc. “Non-state

actors (NGOs)” are merging private and public interests,

are a public - private relationship, with no conflict of in-

terests.

The following NGO Committees reported and gave

statements:

Committee on Aging

Committee on the Status of Women

Committee of Peace

Committee on Sustainable Development

The conference gave a good overview of the chal-

lenges and successes of NGOs in the UN.

Best wishes to all,

50th Australian Psychological Society Annual

Conference, Golden Jubilee 29th September to

the 2nd October 2015. Panel Member for the

‘Forum on the APS and its Relations with

International Psychology Associations’.

Presentation Title: ‘Musings of a Clinical Psycholo-

gist from the APS to World International Psychology’.

While the benefits of the APS’s hosting of the 2010

Congress of the International Association of Applied Psy-

chology (IAAP) are many and varied, one of critical im-

portance is the deepening of the connection not only be-

tween Australian psychology and international psychol-

ogy but also between Australian and international psy-

chologists.

Aim: Thus the aim of the present forum is to review

the nature of the relations between the APS, or its mem-

bers, and major international psychological associations.

This includes the IAAP, the International Union of Psy-

chological Science (IUPsyS), the International Council of

Psychologists (ICP) and the International Project on Com-

petence in Psychology (IPCP).

Conclusion: Possible outcomes include raising aware-

ness of the existence and relevance these associations as

well as aiding the development of personal or institutional

strategies in connection with them.

Panellists included Professor Mike Knowles, Profes-

sor Paul Martin, Professor Lyn Littlefield, Professor

Simon Crowe, Dr Sandra Neil and Professor Iain Mont-

gomery.

Liaison Correspondent Report:

Australian Psychological Society News

The Australian Psychological Society (APS) wel-

comes today’s announcement by the Government of

much-needed reform to the mental health system

through a regionalised approach to deliver better tai-

lored care to people with mental health problems.

The Government today outlined its response to the

National Mental Health Commission report, Contribut-

ing Lives, Thriving Communities – Review of Mental

Health Programmes and Services.

Responding to the announcement, Executive Direc-

tor of the APS Professor Lyn Littlefield said, “We wel-

come mental health reform that will lead to better care

for people with mental health issues.”

“The proposed changes, including increased access

to online mental health interventions and tailored pack-

ages of care for people with severe, chronic and com-

plex conditions through Primary Health Networks

(PHNs) across Australia, will lead to a more integrated

and coordinated approach to their mental health care.”

The Government’s response to the National Review

of Mental Health Programs and Services, which was

conducted by the National Mental Health Commission

in 2014, was released yesterday. The response seeks to

deliver system change over the next three years with the

31 Primary Health Networks (PHNs) playing a central

role in the reformed architecture for mental health ser-

vice delivery.

The Better Access program that provides access to

psychological services through Medicare is continuing.

Psychologists who do not hold an endorsement are still

able to provide services through this initiative.

The MultiGradeMultiLevel-Methodology and its Global

Significance: Ladders of Learning -

Scientific Horizons - Teacher Education (Theory and

Practice of School Pedagogics

Book 34, Publisher: Prolog-Verlag Immenhausen

What if children loved going to school? What if they en-

joyed learning according to their lives and interests? What

if their learning processes were supported in a way that

they corresponded to their abilities and needs? What if

they learned in their own rhythm and pace? What if teach-

ers were able to support such learning through an indi-

vidualized arrangement of learning materials and showed

an attitude of appreciation? What if schools were main-

tained mostly by the students themselves and were sur-

rounded by flowering gardens full of herbs and vegetables

and fruit? If schools taught students how to live their lives

in a sustainable way? Is that utopian? A non-existent

paradise of learning? Does that sound like an exclusively

perfect world that can only be found in upper class

schools and would never be affordable for anybody else?

Thomas Müller, Ulrike Lichtinger and Ralf Girg of the

universities of Regensburg and Würzburg describe such a

learning and teaching culture, that has been practiced for

thirty years in rural South India at Rishi Valley, in the

state of Andhra Pradesh. The authors convey vividly an

exemplary modern, inclusive, community-based and envi-

ronmentally sustainable school culture, we, in many

places in the so-called western world, are far away from.

Each child there, so the book plausible emphasizes, is

respected in its uniqueness. And it is encouraged and edu-

cated to cooperate responsibly with a sense for the whole

community. At the same time the children show high

learning performances.

views to cultural orientation classes.

“Seeing the work you do – fair, well-organized, with no

strings attached – really gives me heart”, he commented.

Editor, ICP Publication

GREAT EXPECTATIONS: 2016 & FRESH

CHALLENGES

December 2015. St. Augustine,

Florida.

ICP, Inc. BIRTHDAY DATE is

December 15, 1941. Now that

the former Women’s Council of Psychologists unfolds its

flag for finishing 75 years of dedication to disseminating

scientific psychology with a firm grounding in profes-

sional standards of practice and ethics and an aspirational

goal of contributing to well being on a global level, the

Board is getting geared up for a grand jubilee celebration

at the 74th annual conference and board meetings in Yo-

kohama, Japan, July 22- 25, 2016. President Elect Ma-

chiko Fukuhara activated an ICP, Inc. office as confer-

ence base of operations near her residence in Tokyo.

Working with her Local Arrangements Committee, Drs.

Edit Nagy-Tanaka and Yoshiko Katu, and two part time

staff assistants, efforts to arrange logistics, substantive

conference programming and inter-association collabora-

tions are taking impressive shape. Should the sponsors

and grants for this jubilee event complete their agree-

ments with Dr. Fukuhara, the Yokohama ICP, Inc. meet-

ing will be a remarkable peak experience in the life of our

shared values band of colleagues. The theme for ICP

2016 is “Psychology for World Equality, Access and Well

Being.” The IUPsyS Congress [ICP2016] theme is:

“Diversity in Harmony.”

Professional value’s emphasized by conference

themes and leadership projects changes to give attention

to one or more pressing issues of the times [zeitgeist].

Beginning with the hope for peace among nations and

concern for the people who went into battle and their

families, the early papers and workshops reported about

children’s needs and supported summer trips for children

to meet children in another land. Other wellbeing needs

that have been highlighted include: women, nationally

persecuted psychologists, human rights, disadvantaged

of the place/group] value being emphasized by President

Sigal is INCLUSION: active membership and engage-

ment of new colleagues from every specialization in

health care. She challenges each of us to enroll at least

one new person in the association life. With the reduction

in membership dues proposed by Past President Pir and

put into effect by the 2014/15 Board for 2016, dues

should not be a barrier for giving the new member re-

cruited a gift of first year’s dues. Please notify Temporary

Secretary General Nancy Quatrano of the name, contact

information and dues payment method [check, website,

charge card, etc.]

It is my pleasure to share with you the logo / poster

created for ICP, Inc.’s 75th JUBLILEE commemoration

(see next page). Dr. Harold Takooshian and his commit-

tee workers, Anne Takooshian and Lori Dondiego, have

managed to present seventy five language variations of

PSYCHOLOGY onto one page. He made a presentation

of 50 language versions for the 50th birthday, as well as

organizing a publication on the history and purposes of

the association.

THANK YOU EACH AND ALL.

Each ICP, Inc. colleague’s contribution of talent, time

and knowledge is what makes the International Council of

Psychologists, Inc. vibrant and creative in ways that less

face-to-face associations are unable to enjoy. Happy Jubi-

lee Year and Great Expectations for Successes More Than

Expected in the days ahead.

Warm Regards,

Ms. Nancy L. Quatrano, USA

December 2015

Hastings, Florida USA

I hope that this IP finds you all in good

health and enjoying your holiday season with many bless-

ings. From me and my family to yours, may 2016 be all

that you dream it can be.

It has been a busy few months in many respects. I’m cur-

rently managing the membership intake, dues calls, and

correspondence (and yes, I’m behind); the banking and

records and treasury reports; assisting with the 2016 con-

vention groundwork as I can; coordinating website up-

dates and information; and assisting board members and

chairs with a variety of communication tasks.

I’m getting together the 2015 income and expense reports

to hand over to the CPA for his assistance in our tax filing

and hope to have that completed by the second week in

January; our corporate filing is complete, and all affiliate

and liaison dues are currently paid and up to date (to the

best of my knowledge.)

Membership needs to remain a focus of energy and com-

mitment for all in 2016. And, frankly, at $50 it is the best

deal of the century – this one or the last one! Student

memberships remained at $10 per year, so encouraging

young professionals and students to team up with ICP,

Inc. is something you can do in good conscience and

know that it will serve them and the world in good stead.

2016 looks to be a year full of wonderful things, not the

least of which is that it is the 75th anniversary of what is

known as the International Council of Psychologists! The

74th Annual Board Meeting and Convention will be held

in Yokohama, Japan, under the guidance and auspices of

Dr. Machiko Fukuhara, President-Elect, Scientific Pro-

gram Chair, and local arrangements chairperson. Make

plans to be there! The registration tab is live on the web-

site at http://www.ICPWEB.org.

ergy be high, and your joys be many.

The International Council of Psychology, Inc holds an

annual scientific program and Board meeting each year in

accord with the policy of freedom of movement of scien-

tists . The conference host (local arrangements commit-

tee) must be a member of ICP,Inc. To establish the feasi-

bility of submitting an application, a potential applicant

might begin with an overview of some logistical issues

for proposing a Congress venue:

Is there a conference venue to host at least 100 par-

ticipants? (50)? (30)?

Are there sufficient hotel rooms close to the confer-

ence venue

Is there a scientific community to develop or sponsor

the program?

Proximity in time and site to other major professional

congresses. ICP operates in alliance with the Interna-

tional Association of Applied Psychology [IAAP, quad-

rennial congresses], the International Union of Psycho-

logical Science [IUPsyS, quadrennial congresses that

meet in between the IAAP cycles]; the American Psycho-

logical Association or the Canadian Psychological Asso-

ciation; with options for meeting near allied professional

association on intervening years.

ciation; with options for meeting near allied professional

association on intervening years.

Geographical Rotation among continents and countries

attempts to guarantee broad geographical coverage, prox-

imity to other major professional conferences, or in re-

gions where psychologists may not have presented a sci-

entific program previously.

The scientific community in the conference country is

especially invited to participate in the scientific program.

Communication: There is a requirement for intensive

and frequent communication between the Board Presi-

dent, Scientific Program Chair, Local Arrangements

Chair, Workshops Chair, InAbsentia Student Posters

Chair, and Awards Chairs.

Costs for participating in the Congress are another factor.

The Board will expect that the registration fee will be rea-

sonable, that there is a range of good hotel rates

(particularly including inexpensive ones), and that travel

costs can be kept as low as possible. Despite efforts to

keep costs low, travel is expensive for young psycholo-

gists, and for psychologists from the developing world

and transition countries. It is therefore important to pro-

vide a plan that will guarantee special fees, housing, and

support for those colleagues.

A balanced budget needs to be provided in outline. It is

important to show realistically how the income

(registration fees and other) will cover your costs. It may

be helpful to consult the preceding organisers of Confer-

ences in drafting the budget. The budget is reviewed by

the President and the Treasurer, who can offer advice.
