The Task i:orce on Concerns of Hispanic Women was formed to address professional, academic, and general issues in psychology which affect Hispanic women and to ensure that the interests and perspectives of Hispanic women are represented in the activities of Division 35.

The Division of the Psychology of Women was formed in 1973 to promote the research and study of women and to encourage the integration of information about women with current psychological knowledge. Division 35 provides a forum for development of a comprehensive approach to understanding women's psychological and social realities and for the presentation of the results of the study of women to the community of psychologists and to consumers of psychological information and services. Division 35 publishes a Newsletter and sponsors a division journal, The Psychology of Women Quarterly, which all division members receive. If you would like to become a member of Division 35, complete the membership application form at the back of the Directory ;Ind return it to the stated address. The Committee on Women in Psychology is a continuing committee that reports to APA's Board of Social and Ethical Responsibility for Psychology (BSERP). CWP is composed of nine members selected to serve staggered threeyear terms. The Committee was formed to ensure that women achieve equality as members of the psychological community. It acts as a catalyst by interacting with and making recommendations to the various parts of the Association's governance structure, to other relevant groups, and to the membership.

In early 1983, as Chair of the Task Force on Concerns of Hispanic Women, I recommended to the Executive Committee of the Division of the Psychology of Women that Division 35 and the Committee on Women in Psychology co-sponsor the publication of a directory of Hispanic women in psychology. The need for such a directory had become evident by the numerous requests for names of Hispanic women whose expertise was being sought in specific areas from within as well as from outside the APA structure. Members of the Executive Committee of the Division of the Psychology of Women and the Committee on Women in Psychology approved the project with enthusiasm and commitment. They are to be recognized for supporting this project which represents the first comprehensive attempt to identify Hispanic women in psychology and the expertise which they bring to the field. A word of recognition should be given to previous Task Force Chairs, Drs. Margarita Garcia and Oliva M. Espin, who compiled an initial roster of Hispanic women psychologists and whose work facilitated the initiation of the present updated and expanded Directory. Special thanks go to the present Task Force members Drs. Audrey Alvarado, Elaine Soto, and Melba Vasquez for their input and contributions to this project. The initiative of Dr. Nancy Felipe Russo in collaborating with this effort went far beyond her responsibilities as Administrative Officer for the APA Women's Programs Office. Her generous dedication of time, expertise, and commitment to the project made possible the production and dissemination of the directory in a timely manner. Special thanks also go to Jane Winston of the Women's Programs Office for her invaluable assistance. Special acknowledgements go to Dr. Esteban L. Olmedo and Shelia Carroll of APA's Ethnic Minority Affairs Office for their collaborative spirit and technical assistance in the preparation of the directory listings. Finally, the cooperation of the many other individuals and organizations such as the National Hispanic Psychological Association and the Hispanic Psychological Association of South Florida aided in the dissemination of the directory announcement and the identification of Hispanic women psychologists in the United States and Puerto Rico. Hortensia Amaro, Ph.D. August 1983 7 IN rRODUCTIoN nit.; Directory of iiispanic Women in Psychology is an Initial step in addressing the need for the communication and collaboration among dispanic wr,men. Tue first goal of the Diiwtory is to promote communication among Hi ;panic women in psychology by providing a resource guide which will identify who we ore as well as oar areas of expertise. It is hoped that individuals will take the initiative to utilize this directory to establish contact with others conducting work in similar areas of interest and geographic regions. In addition, the Directory is intended to serve as a resource for individuals and institutions seeking the psychological expertise of Hispanic women living in the United States and Puerto Rico. Thus, the second goal of the Directory is to facilitate the integration of professional expertise of Hispanic women into professional organizations, academic institutions, community and government agencies, and private industry. Individuals and institutions needing the expertise of dispanic women in psychology will now have a reference guide that will aid them in identifying experts in their areas of interest. It is our hope that such individuals and institutions will make frequent use of the Directory in their attempt to incorporate in their activities a psychological perspective which adequately represents ethnic minority communities and women. The Directory provides 227 listings of Hispanic women living in the United States and Puerto Rico. They are found in
