摘要

On November 19, 2011, Norine G. Johnson, the ninth woman to serve as president of the American Psychological Association (APA), lost a valiant battle with cancer. Norine's curiosity about her grandmother's strength led to much of her later work on the development of strength and resiliency in adolescent girls and in women. She received her doctorate in 1972, with a minor in child development, and she became one of the first to be considered a pediatric psychologist, a newly emerging specialty. Norine became involved in organized psychology as her children got older. When she learned there had not been a woman president of the Massachusetts Psychological Association (MPA) for almost 50 years, she was appalled. An ardent feminist, who had served on MPA's Board of Directors, she could not let the situation remain that way. She ran for president and won, serving from 1981 to 1983, and then mentored many women colleagues into the role. MPA sent her to the Council of the APA as one of their representatives, and she immediately ran for a seat on the Finance Committee, later serving as chair of the committee. During her tenure on the Finance Committee, she helped create financial policy that changed APA from an organization whose assets were threatened and shrinking to a financially solid association. Norine considered Division 35 (Psychology of Women) to be her home in APA, a place filled with warmth, collegiality, and shared values. She and Judith Worell spearheaded the extremely important and successful 1993 National Conference on Education and Training in Feminist Practice. Norine was elected to the APA Board of Directors in 1997, where she served with distinction, continuing to focus on the financial well-being of the Association. Not surprisingly, she went from that role to being elected APA president. Her focus as president was on the changes in the health care delivery system in the United States. She was a staunch champion of the biopsychosocial model of health. Under her presidential leadership, the APA Mission Statement was amended to add the word "health," confirming the importance of health to the psychological community.

Johnson失去了与癌症的英勇斗争。诺琳(Norine)对祖母的力量的好奇心促使她在后来的许多工作中致力于发展青春期女孩和妇女的力量和弹性。她于1972年获得博士学位,当时未成年人发育,并且成为最早被视为儿科心理学家的新兴专业之一。随着孩子的长大,诺琳开始参与有组织的心理学。当她得知马萨诸塞州心理学会(MPA)几乎没有女主席时,她感到震惊。她是MPA董事会的热心女权主义者,她不能让这种情况保持下去。她竞选总统并获胜,从1981年到1983年任职,然后指导许多女同事担任这个职位。 MPA将她派往APA理事会作为其代表之一,她立即竞选财务委员会席位,后来担任该委员会主席。在财务委员会任职期间,她帮助制定了财务政策,将APA从资产受到威胁并萎缩的组织转变为财务稳固的协会。诺琳(Norine)认为35分部(妇女心理学)是她在APA的家,这里充满了温暖,学院风和共同价值观。她和朱迪思·沃雷尔(Judith Worell)领导了极为重要和成功的1993年全国女权实践教育和培训会议。 Norine于1997年当选为APA董事会成员,在此期间她表现出色,继续专注于协会的财务状况。毫不奇怪,她从担任该职位到当选APA总裁。她担任总统期间的工作重点是美国医疗保健提供系统的变化。她是健康生物心理社会模型的坚定拥护者。在她的总统领导下,对APA使命声明进行了修改,增加了“健康”一词,从而确认了健康对心理群体的重要性。 (PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2012 APA,保留所有权利)。
