AACoP President Steve Eichel's opening remarks
at the Nicholas Ladany CE Workshop
4/13/07
How many of you are psychologists? How many of you would identify yourselves as counseling psychologists? How many would only admit that to your closest friend or parish priest?

I want to introduce you to two of the sponsors of this wonderful talk. The American Board of Counseling Psychology is one of the original constituent examining boards that constitute the American Board of Professional Psychology, the ABPP. We are, as I like to call it, the real deal. Unlike many other so-called board certifications, we don't only require our candidates to send us money. We actually verify credentials and examine our candidates. The American Board of Professional Psychology is the only board certifying entity recognized by the American Psychological Association and numerous state psychology boards, and we have an association with the American Board of Medical Specialites.

The American Academy of Counseling Psychology is a membership association whose members have all obtained board certification in counseling psychology. We advocate for and support the profession. And just what is the profession? Counseling psychology is applied developmental psychology. It is the only specialty that is firmly rooted in the entire human life span, that is overtly and proudly humanistic and socially conscious in its orientation, that trains its professionals in dealing with the whole person and human systems as opposed to a list of symptoms that constitute a clinical syndrome. I believe counseling psychology provides the broadest and best training, not only for individual clinical work but for family and group work, systems consultation and social change.

Board certification in counseling psychology is a time-consuming and even a challenging process, but a friendly and collegial one. At the end of it, you not only receive a lovely diploma that looks great in a frame, you receive substantial pay increases if you are in the military or work for the Veterans Administration. If you are an academic your certification can help advance your institution and your career in your institution. If you are a practitioner, as I am, you justifiably increase your fee. But in addition, board certification advances the entire field. In my opinion, board certification is vital to the future of counseling psychology. And counseling psychology is vital to the future of a field that, without us, may be at risk of descending into a dehumanized, medicalized extension of a pathology-driven, industrialized healthcare delivery system.

I invite any of you who identify yourselves as counseling psychologists to consider becoming board certified. Currently there are some strong financial incentives for doing so; these are detailed in your packets and/or on the Academy website, which is at W W W. A A C O P . N E T. There is no better time to do it.
