Asher R. Pacht, PhD

"As an active psychologist for almost 55 years, I have had the opportunity to participate both in education and practice areas. Psychology has been good to me and allowed me to be involved in policy-making and organizational activities. In my judgment, an ideal way to pay back the discipline for all that I have received is to contribute to the APF. I can think of no group that is more deserving than the APF—a group that serves the field of psychology in myriad ways every day and will continue to do so in the future."
