Recently, I had the privilege of hearing a new choral piece entitled “On Horizon’s Brim.” The lyricist challenged the listener to be centered in order to find the courage to go to the edge of their horizons and hurl their self fur- ther than what is comfortable. It is my belief that Hala Buck lives that courage and centeredness. The Diversity Task Force is proud to feature her in this edition of our spotlight on diversity.

Many of you have probably had the privilege of learning from Hala at conferences or ICASSI. She is the proud mother of a third culture daughter who is a cross-cultural theatre educator. Hala is trilingual in English, French, and Arabic.

A licensed clinical professional counselor and art therapist, Hala has provided cross-cultural workshop expe- riences for individuals in the US, Canada, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Ireland, Malta, the Netherlands, Hungary, and Romania. In Saudi Arabia, she was the first to use art therapy with individuals and groups. She has been a guest lecturer on an educational cruise to Libya and Tunisia in 2006 and is a former member of the Board of the International Committee for Adlerian Summer Schools and Institutes (ICASSI).

In addition, I began to attend ICASSI every year and further increased my networking of Adlerians across the globe. In recent years, I have attended two of the International Association of Individual Psychology (IAIP) conferences. I have been instrumental in the planning and production of the annual Georgia Society of Adlerian Psychology (GSAP) conference, which has been active and growing for the last four years. I earned the Diplomate certification through NASAP for my contributions to and leadership in Adlerian Psychology. I am currently teaching at Mercer University in the master’s level Community Counseling Program and have been granted permission to hold the GSAP monthly meetings with CE workshops on the campus and to present a Basic Adlerian course to the graduate students. While I have always been active as a participant and presenter in Adlerian workshops and conferences, I have recently begun to take more of a leadership role. I believe I can contribute positively to NASAP and will possess many qualities that will be an asset to this group and other Adle- rian organizations.
