Box 570218 Dallas, Texas 75357-0218 972-613-0985 • Fax: 972-613-5532 www.ourgap.org Message From the President I’d like to begin this column by congratulating GAP’s Committee on Disasters and the World for the recent recognition of their book, Disaster Psychiatry: Readiness, Evaluation, and Treatment. As reported in Psychiatric News, the British Medical Association honored their book, published by American Psychiatric Publishing (APP), as a “Highly Commended” fi nalist within the “Best Book in Psychiatry” category. At the fall meeting we said goodbye to our last group of GAP Fellows. They did an outstanding presentation about “Bullying” at Friday’s plenary, another timely subject in the public eye which draws upon the expertise of psychiatry and other mental health professions. We wish the Fellows luck in their future endeavors and are pleased that some of them will be coming back to the spring meeting as guests. Mary Barber and the Fellowship Committee have already chosen a new group of GAP Fellows and the next circular letter will include bios to introduce them before the spring meeting. I am also pleased to announce a new permanent GAP Fellowship made possible by Mr. and Mrs. I. Wistar Morris III. Mr. Morris is Director of a Philadelphia family philanthropic foundation and was invited to come to a GAP meeting as a guest by our Secretary, John Looney. He met many of our members and sat in on the deliberations of several committees whose topics were of interest to him. Mr. Morris and his wife Martha became interested in furthering the activities of the Committee on Work and Organizations and contributed $50,000 to establish an additional Fellowship position permanently allocated to that Committee.

  • 1 History of the NY Regional Meeting R.Bonnie Haber & Paula Singer
    History of the NY Regional Meeting R.Bonnie Haber & Paula Singer met at the ISPSO Paris Symposium in 2002 and were so enthused about it they discussed the possibility of having an event in-between the Annual Symposiums (as they were called at that time). Back in New York, Bonnie discussed the possibility of an ISPSO “Regional Meeting” with Rose Mersky, who had attended the William Alanson White Institute’s Organizational Consulting Program and encouraged the idea, and with Ken Eisold, her instructor at the White Institute who had initially encouraged her to join ISPSO. Ken became the Regional Meeting’s very supportive mentor and liaison with the ISPSO Board, of which he was a member. He also encouraged members in other parts of the world, holding a few meetings at the Annual Symposiums with those members who were particularly interested in organizing Regional Meetings such as Lilian Hupkens and Hans Blom in Holland, and several members in Australia. Michael Bergman, a classmate of Bonnie’s at the White Institute’s “Organizational Program”, was enthused about the ISPSO Regional meeting concept, even though he hadn’t attended the Symposium, and joined the newly formed committee. Paula, Michael and Bonnie sent out a notice to see if there was any interest in an interim meeting, which stated that they “… have been developing a mid-year workshop that could provide the opportunity for ISPSO members to meet between annual symposia. This event would allow for additional intellectual enrichment as well as an occasion to network with other members. Those members who cannot attend the annual symposia would be able to partake in a “mini” version of the symposium experience.

  • Dr. Kerry Sulkowicz Is the Man to See
    THE BOSS DOCTOR Written by Meagan Gillmore Photography courtesy of Kerry Sulkowicz 94 LIFESTYLES MAGAZINE SPRING 2019 PROFILE KERRY SULKOWICZ In the business world, Dr. Kerry Sulkowicz is the man to see. Dr. Kerry Sulkowicz has been a confidant and adviser to CEOs and business leaders for more than two decades. A psychiatrist and psy- choanalyst by training, he’s assisted organizations during leadership transitions and changes in their teams or to their organization’s strategy. Of course, working with company heads and business leaders isn’t normally the first area that comes to mind when thinking about these fields. Psychiatry is the diagnosis, prevention, and treat- ment of mental disorders, and psychoanalysis consists of theories and therapeutic techniques related to the study of the unconscious mind. Those trained in these sciences are usually work- ing with patients dealing with mental health issues. Sulkowicz is using his position to promote the healthy growth of companies and their execu- tives. Good leaders, he points out, are crucial to an organization’s health and success. “How effective a CEO is in his or her role and how the organization is doing—I see those two things as inextricably intertwined,” he says. “While the CEO is not the only person who af- fects the health of the organization, I think the CEO has the greatest impact on it because of the nature of the role.” SPRING 2019 LIFESTYLES MAGAZINE 95 PROFILE KERRY SULKOWICZ Despite this, he’s not focused on ap- pointing a successor for the consulting firm he founded, the Boswell Group.
