Hello members and potential members! Welcome to the Fall 2005 edition of our e-newsletter, The Consulting Psychologist. Hard to believe that it is soon time for our 2006 Mid-Winter Conference. This year it will be held in San Diego, CA February 2-5 with the theme of The Psychology of Leadership: The Consulting Psychology Edge. You can download a brochure and a registration form or visit our website at http://www.apa.org/divisions/div13.

In this issue of The Consulting Psychologist, we are featuring an article in light of the catastrophic events within the US. Dr. Lawrence Gerstein examines the role of consulting psychologists as professionals as well as citizens as companies begin to rebuild in the wake on Katrina. We also look at Division 13’s response to the disaster and what you can do to help. In addition, Dr. Virginia Mullin interviews 2 professionals on what it means to have a psychologically healthy workplace and how consulting psychologists can facilitate this within organizations. Lastly, this issue features the column Prophet Margin which interviews international member Dr. Ross Stockwell and Books where Dr. Mary Kralj reviews The Secret Life of Corporations by fellow member Dr. Mark Sirkin.

As our mission is to Inform, Involve, and Intrigue, we welcome any and all constructive feedback. See you at the Conference!

Thank you & I look forward to your input.
