Announcing a Lecture ** ❦ Saluting Dr. Grant Rich, A Leader in International Psychology American Psychological Association Washington DC, 2014 ❦ Saluting Dr. Grant Rich, A book of memories from colleagues and friends ❦ From 2010-2014, Grant J.M. Rich was the esteemed Editor of the APA Division 52 International Psychology Bulletin. Grant's stellar work doubled the size of this quarterly from 30 pages (in 2003) up to 80 pages by 2013, and built on the two prior editors' good work to increase the diversity of its contents (Students, ECPs, Book reviews, History, Teaching, Peer-reviewed research, Jobs), making it such a unique resource--archived at www.div52.org, and indexed in APA PsycEXTRA. Grant volunteered countless hours working with all sorts of contributors--mentoring students and new authors, while also recruiting superstars like Philip Zimbardo. And all the while, we can barely find a photo of this humble fellow in his four years of Bulletins. In this Memory Book, many outstanding international psychologists from a dozen nations kindly share their memories with Grant Rich. "The work of our hands comes back to us." --Proverbs 12:22 Suzanna Adams, PsyD, LLC www.suzanaadamspsyd.com , Phoenix, Arizona Through the Division 52 Fast-Connect Project, I had the pleasure to work with Grant Rich. He wrote a beautiful paragraph about the student that was assigned to him. He provided good advice on international positive psychology. He also shared with the early career psychologist who interviewed him, a deep respect for the common pursuit of International Psychology. I hope Grant will continue supporting and inspiring other Div52 students and early career psychologists. Naji Abi-Hashem, PhD Clinical & cultural psychologist Seattle, Washington, USA & Beirut, Lebanon Grant is a good friend and a long time professional colleague. Smart but unassuming, well-connected but not proud. We worked together on several entries and articles for the International Psychology Bulletin (IPB) for our respectable APA Division 52. He appreciates international friends and is eager to learn more about other parts of the world. He was very encouraging to me personally in my global service and cross- cultural work as an ambassador of peace trying to build bridges between the East and the West. Grant tried always to recruit quality materials for IPB with universal perspective. Also, he encouraged me to begin writing books instead of only articles and book-chapters. He is very personable in his communication as well as in his face to face encounters. I want to sincerely wish Grant the best of opportunities ahead of him in the journey. May your experiences be always rich (as in Rich) and may you bless others with your many talents and graces. Meri Avetisyan, PhD University of Basel, Switzerland & Armenian State Pedagogical University, Armenia It is my pleasure to state a few words about Dr. Grant Rich. In 1988, the devastating earthquake in Armenia had a vast impact on both the mental health of the people, and the resulting expansion of the practice of psychotherapy in the Republic. In 2013, when our Provost Srbuhi Gevorgyan and I approached the International Psychology Bulletin about a possible article on the 25th anniversary of the 1988 earthquake, Dr. Rich could not have been more encouraging. From the first email I was impressed with his willingness to help and advise us on the issues of our paper, and his demanding yet friendly approach. His team could not have been more helpful in guiding us to create a unique report over a three-month period which appears nowhere else in the psychology literature. I never met Dr. Rich, but from our warm communications, I feel I have known him for many years. In Armenian, we say "Abres!" (Congratulations!) Dr. Rich Lynette Bikos, PhD Seattle Pacific University The first time I met Grant was at the WPA Convention in Cancun. Our D52 International Dinner was a lovely event with Lynn Collins and Maria del Pilar Grazioso. My husband and I both enjoyed learning about Guatemala (Maria del Pilar) and Alaska (Grant). At that time, I began to help out the division by promoting international psychology at WPA. This meant regular submission of articles to the International Psychology Bulletin. I will forever appreciate Dr. Rich’s receptivity and helpfulness in publishing the articles and pictures. Under Grant’s direction, our Division’s newsletter has set a high standard for providing relevant, credible information that is timely and interesting. On several occasions where my research team has investigated topics related to the internationalization of the profession, we have scoured every edition of every volume of IPB. Thank you Grant for your quiet and quality leadership. Bernardo J. Carducci, Ph.D. Shyness Research Institute, Indiana University Southeast Over the years, I have had the good fortune to work with Grant on several occasions in his capacity as Editor of the IPB. As a member of the Italian American Psychological Society (IAPS), I submitted several articles to the IPB on IAPS activities at the APA and international conventions. Grant's editorial comments were invariably constructive and supportive. Even more, Grant made a point to share his enthusiasm for all things Italian, especially the food, which was prompted by the many photographs included in my submissions, featuring IAPS members socializing at various Italian restaurants during our annual pre-conference dinner meetings. Grant’s personal engagement with all IPB contributors helped to give the Bulletin a friendly and welcoming voice. Grant’s collectivist style made it easy for him to work well with a variety of individuals. However, more importantly, this style also helped to make individuals from diverse groups feel very comfortable working with him. Grant’s ability to work well with diverse groups of individuals reflected his tremendous sensitivity to the special needs of the people around him. Like many others who have benefited from all of Grant's work, I feel blessed to have Grant as a colleague and, more importantly, as a friend. Elena Chebotareva, PhD & Irina Novikova, PhD Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia Grant Rich was one of the first in Division 52 to greet the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (PFUR) delegation to the annual APA Convention in 2011. Since then Grant has become a reliable partner for our university's psychologists. We very much appreciate the support that he gave to us in all our projects with APA. Grant participated in all the symposia organized by our PFUR researchers in the U.S. Grant always supports us, encourages greater coverage of our projects in the Bulletin, spends much time and effort to edit our contributions to the Bulletin. In his editing he always is very considerate towards the authors, pays great attention to preserving the author's style and ideas. Our PFUR research group deals with problems of intercultural adaptation. Grant Rich was one of those who adapted us – Russian psychologists to APA scientific life. Thanks to his wise advice, we mastered the APA style for our research presentations. Grant is not only a skilled Editor who informed Bulletin readers about Russian scientists, but also informed the Russian scientific community about Div. 52 activity, as the author of articles on Massage Therapy, PTSD, Trauma, and Anxiety in Russian scientific journals, including the People's Friendship University Bulletin. The psychological community of Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia heartily thanks Grant for his invaluable contribution to the development of Russian- American scientific cooperation; also, all who were lucky to communicate with him personally – for the warmth, sincerity and openness of communication that have always been inherent in it. Andrés J. Consoli, PhD University of California, Santa Barbara President, National Latina/o Psychological Association, www.nlpa.ws I had the pleasure of collaborating with Dr. Grant Rich during his tenure as Editor of IPB and did so as a contributor and consulting editor. Grant's work was thorough and inspiring. He was systematic and helpful in his feedback. Grant consistently looked for innovative ways of disseminating meaningful and relevant information to the members of Division 52. Every issue was a tour of psychology around the world. Thank you very much Grant for your selfless dedication to our members and to the advancement of our international engagement. Florence Denmark, PhD Robert S. Pace Distinguished Research Professor, Pace University Past President, American Psychological Association & Division 52 I commend Grant Rich for the outstanding job he did as editor of Division 52’s International Psychology Bulletin. I am amazed at the fine job he has done bringing the bulletin up to 80 pages full of international news. Grant will be a hard act to follow. Others I have spoken to who have received the Bulletin, all appreciate the work Grant has done, and I have been pleased to share it with colleagues and students. I have also shown the Bulletin to interns and other NGO representatives at the United Nations. They were impressed with the international material Grant has produced, and have found it very useful in their United Nations efforts. I wish Grant all the best as he goes on to other international endeavors. Piyanjali de Zoysa, PhD Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo, Sri Lanka Dr Grant Rich contacted me in 2013 with an invitation to write an article on psychology in Sri Lanka. I appreciated this great opportunity to ‘inform’ readers of the International Psychology Bulletin about psychology in our little part of the world. Dr Rich was so easy and flexible to work with. As an academic from Sri Lanka, I have at times, felt somewhat ‘marginalised’ by certain journal editors who seemed to feel that non-Western perspectives or practices may not be as relevant to their readers.

    12/8/2020 Imagining a New World | Psychology Today US Find a Therapist (City or Zip) Verified by Psychology Today Dinesh Sharma Ph.D. Leaders in the Making Imagining a New World Psychologists look beyond the UN’s 75th anniversary. Posted Dec 08, 2020 Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people living life in peace, you may say I'm a dreamer. ... (John Lennon, 1971) The immortalized lyrics from the 1971 song, Imagine, by the former Beatles lead John Lennon, who was assassinated 40 years ago, may sum up the spirit and the cultural renaissance represented by the counter- culture movement, the Hippies and the utopians who founded the United Nations. Thanks to their efforts, we may still be dreaming of a one world government, but we know in reality we are far from the chimerical vision of the English bard or the 'one world assembly' designed by the super-power nations, who triumphed in the global wars of the previous centuries. So where are we really in the year 2020 -- the year of political delusions, conspiracy theories, and the global pandemic? The United Nations has been shuttered due to the spread of the Coronavirus; almost everyone has gone into the virtual environment. May be the mirage of the multi-lateral globalized world too has evaporated into the hyper-reality of the cloud storage space; while the multipolar world of data silos, firewalls, cyber- espionage and robo-killers is rapidly emerging as our new social reality? Luckily, a few psychologists and social workers have been hunkered down at Lincoln Center, Fordham University, thinking about managing the hard psychological realities of the United Nations, and have published a report of their findings titled, Behavioral Sciences in the Global Arena: Assessing Timely Issues at the UN and Beyond (Congress, Takooshian and Asper, 2020).
