SCP Elder Recognition Award


The Society of Counseling Psychology has a long tradition of honoring senior colleagues whose excellence in scholarship, practice, and leadership has positively influenced the field. Beginning in 1985, the Society has recognized a group of distinguished psychologists every five years. Honorees are 65+ years of age, have been elected Society Fellows and/or Officers, and/or earned American Board of Professional Psychology Specialty Certification in Counseling Psychology. Those honored represent a virtual “Who’s Who” in Counseling Psychology, reflecting the rich diversity of people and workplaces so highly valued by our field. All those receiving the Elder Recognition Award receive a letter from the current SCP president and a certificate acknowledging their excellent contributions to Counseling Psychology. Because the Elder Recognition Awards occur only every five years, the program may inadvertently be less well known to our membership. Thanks for the work of the 2010 Elder Recognition Special Task Group (Bill Hanson, Carole Pistole, and Jaquie Resnick, Chair), we have created an electronic archive that includes all the awardees from the inception of the program. What a wonderful opportunity SCP provides in honoring the elders! We get the chance to express our appreciation for their work, we acknowledge their influence on us as professionals, and we can be inspired by their example.
