The purpose of this Handbook is to augment the formal rules with further detail about the policies, practices, and operations of the Division. To facilitate finding of relevant policies and procedures, the descriptions in the Handbook are ordered for consistency with the Bylaws. The handbook appendix contains motions, policies and resolutions from the minutes of Executive meetings. The procedures described in the Handbook are designed to implement the mandates of the Bylaws, and as such are guides to action rather than formal rules of the Division. Revisions and updates of the Handbook reflect the evolution of the Division. Every effort has been made to provide comprehensive information; if there are omissions, we ask that we be informed so that future records can be complete. Note: the above paragraph needs to be reworded when the entire Handbook is put together so that footnotes etc are explained. PURPOSE OF THE DIVISION OF INTERNATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY The Division of International Psychology, Division 52 of the American Psychological Association, was established in 1997. As per its Bylaws, the purposes of this Division are to further the development and advancement of international relations among psychologists in the areas of sharing knowledge, encouraging visitation, and encouraging intercultural research and development in clinical practice, and to promote the general objectives of the APA. The Division of International Psychology (Division 52) represents the interest of all psychologists who foster international connections among psychologists, engage in multicultural research or practice, apply psychological principles to the development of public policy, or are otherwise concerned with individual and group consequences of global events. The Division encourages member participation in intercultural research, discussions of effective assessment and treatment models in working with particular cultures, and a better understanding of the sort of psychological problems which predominate in a given region of the world. To encourage the development of a more international perspective in psychology, Division 52: Sponsors programming at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association to stimulate interest in and share information about international psychology; Provides networking opportunities for psychologists from around the world through the Division’s newsletter, the International Psychology Bulletin, convention programming, and other activities; 18 Provides opportunities for students to meet and interact with other students and psychologists from around the world; Supports the activities of the APA International Affairs Office and its Committee on International Relations in Psychology (CIRP); Provides a welcoming “home base” for APA’s international affiliates during conventions; Promotes the development of international consulting, training, and research opportunities for psychologists with US based international agencies and exchange programs with international agencies based elsewhere; Encourages internationalization of the psychology curriculum through educational initiatives and resources. A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DIVISION OF INTERNATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY Written by John D. Hogan, Ph.D. St. John’s University, New York, USA Introduction On February 21, 1997, the APA Council of Representatives approved a petition to create a new division: APA Division 52, the Division of International Psychology. The creation of the Division was the result of years of planning and work by a small group of people dedicated to fostering an international outlook within the APA. The APA had been involved in international activities at some level for years before the approval of the Division 52 petition, particularly through its Committee on International Relations in Psychology (CIRP). However, the new division held the promise for a different focus and direction, and that promise was soon fulfilled. Ernst Beier, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist with both a university and a private practice background, was one of the prime movers in starting the division. He and Frances Culbertson, Ph.D., worked with various APA boards and committees, gathering support. Among the other “division pioneers” were Leonore Loeb Adler, Ph.D., Florence Denmark, Ph.D., Henry David, Ph.D., and Gloria Gottsegen, Ph.D.. Sarah Jordan and Joan Buchanan, both of APA, were also very important in offering early support for the division. One of the first hurdles for the group was to collect the required number of signatures for presentation to the APA Council. In the end, 788 signatures were collected. All are identified as “charter members” of the division.) Ernst Beier, Ph.D., Florence Denmark, Ph.D., and Frances Culbertson, Ph.D., comprised the initial Executive Committee and recruited additional members for the Board of Directors. In all, fifteen individuals who had been active in forming the division assumed various offices on a “pro tem” basis. 19 Regular elections were scheduled for May, 1998. The first formal meeting of the division took place during the 105th annual APA Convention, held in Chicago, from August 15-19, 1997. Although there had been no opportunity to develop a program in time to meet the customary convention deadlines, the division was able to share some convention time with the APA Committee of International Relations in Psychology (CIRP). Initial dues were set at $12 per year, beginning in 1998. The Board requested donations from the charter members to support the operation of the division during the remainder of 1997. The first issue of the newsletter, the International Psychology Reporter, consisting of 10 pages, appeared in June, 1997. The publication of the early issues was possible through the financial assistance of Raymond D. Fowler, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of the APA. Ivan Kos, Ph.D. was the founding editor of the newsletter. Early growth and change (1997-1998) By the fall of 1997, several initiatives were underway. A set of proposed bylaws for the Division, developed under the leadership of Gloria Gottsegen, Ph.D., appeared in the Reporter (10/97). Student membership in Division 52 became a reality and William G. Masten, Ph.D., was appointed web-page chair. The official web site became available in January, 1998. Mary Reuder, Ph.D. and her fellows committee were at work preparing criteria for fellow status in Division 52. Since APA requirements state that no one can become a fellow of a division until they have been a member for at least one year, no Division 52 Fellows were eligible until February, 1998. In August, 1998, 72 charter fellows of the division were approved. By early 1998, Division 52 was represented on the APA Council of Representatives by a single seat. Harold Takooshian, Ph.D., and Joy K. Rice, Ph.D., as Program Committee chair and co-chair respectively, began preparing for the division’s first full APA program, to be presented during the annual convention that was held in San Francisco, August 14-18, 1998. Harold and Joy sent e-mails to the heads of twenty international behavior science groups to ensure that there would be international representation on the program. They were rewarded with submissions from six continents - the first arriving in September from Australia. In all, 39 countries were represented in the inaugural program. Permanent status and further initiatives: (1999) At the APA Council of Representatives (COR) meeting, held from February 19-21, 1999, in Washington, DC, Division 52 was granted permanent status. Two special interest groups within the Division were approved by President Denmark - an International Committee for Women with Joy K. Rice, Ph.D., as chair, and a Committee on Aging with Margaret M. Hastings, Ph.D., as chair. Student membership continued to be strong. Amendments were proposed to the division bylaws and approved by the division Board of Directors in August, 1999. Other changes included the formal establishment of a webmaster position and a new standing committee, the International Committee for Women. The proposed amendments appeared in the 20 International Psychology Reporter (fall/winter, 1999, pp. 11-13) with the request for a member vote by January 15, 2000. At the Board of Directors meeting held on August 19, 1999, Irene Deitch, Ed.D., was appointed chair of the Public Relations Committee and Richard Velayo, Ph.D., was appointed chair of the 2000 Program Committee. The Division enters a new century: 2000-2007 The number of fellows of the Division continued to grow so that by August, 2000, the division had 126 fellows (72 charter fellows in 1998, 18 fellows in 1999, and 36 fellows in 2000). Membership issues continued to be of concern. Between 2000 and 2001, the total paid membership decreased from 923 to 783. During the same period, unpaid membership was up slightly, from 118 to 133. It was noteworthy that several other divisions within the APA were adding international interest groups to their organizational structure. It was beginning to appear as if a “new” international psychology was coming of age. Innovative activities continued to be introduced by the Division. With the help and expertise of APA Division 13 (Consulting Psychology), the division began a series of “visioning sessions” at its Board meetings to facilitate long-range planning. The Division voiced its strong support for a resolution on cultural and gender awareness in international psychology. In 2004,“Adopt a Psychologist” was begun, a program in which U.S. members not only pay the Division dues for psychologists from other countries, but also try to establish an ongoing relationship with their sponsored colleagues. In a related program, Division 52 members were asked to participate in a “mentoring program” in which established psychologists try to help their more junior international colleagues through some of the pitfalls of professional development. Several new awards were created to honor important contributors to various aspects of international psychology. The Division participated in a project with “Half the Sky Orphanage” to sponsor several young children in China. An online newsletter, International Psychology Bulletin, was begun with Senel Poyrazli, Ph.D., as editor, replacing the hard-copy International Reporter. In 2005, the Division agreed to co-sponsor a new Erlbaum series on global and cross-cultural psychology, with Uwe P. Gielen, Ph.D., and Harold Takooshian, Ph.D., as editors. The first volume in the series, Toward a Global Psychology: Theory, Research, Intervention, and Pedagogy; edited by Michael J. Stevens, Ph.D., and Uwe P. Gielen, Ph.D., appeared in February, 2007. As the 10th anniversary of the division approached (2007), the division reached its goal of more than 1,000 members. The division also had several new initiatives in various stages of development including the establishment of the Ursula Gielen Global Psychology Book Award, the creation of DVD on international psychology, and (with APA Divisions 1 and 2), the initiation of a national speakers bureau. Other recent developments included efforts to establish international psychology mid-year meetings around the country in cooperation with various regional psychological associations. 21 In 2010, Grant Rich, PhD, became the editor of the International Psychology Bulletin (IPB). Also, in 2010, the division launched a new APA journal, International Perspectives in Psychology: Research, Practice and Consultation, with Judith Gibbons as the founding editor. The division continued to fulfill the promises made at its creation through its vibrant and wide-reaching activities.

Included are officers' expenses; expenses of internal committees (membership, finance, bylaws, fellows, organizational structure, governance, APA council, nominations and elections, communications and recruitment); standard fees, travel, miscellaneous, meeting expenses, and discretional funds. 2) Programs and Services: Under this category are included all programs and services provided by the Division including: APA program committee, prizes and awards, task forces, dues to other organizations, and continuing education programs. A goal for the annual budget is a division of income of approximately 50% for operating costs and 50% for service and program costs. This ratio is recommended to help long term planning, clarify Divisional priorities, and improve decision-making about planning how to allocate funds. (Approved, April, 2009, Portland). Expenses All expenses will be monitored and controlled to stay within the annual division budget. An expense overrun by a task force or committee will be reviewed by the President and Treasurer in consultation with the Finance Committee and will not be automatically reimbursed. The Finance Committee will formulate procedures and policy to allow the Division to manage its budget better. Expenses will be tied to the Division's current priorities and projects whenever possible. Income In most cases revenue for ongoing, special projects will be generated by revenue streams other than dues. This policy pertains only to special projects, not to standing committees or to ad hoc committees that will last for more than one year. "Revenue streams other than dues" includes several sources of current income, such as ads, continuing education revenue, and royalties from publications. This policy does not mean that each special project would have to find its own source of income. 53 Books published by the Division will provide income for the Division. Contributing authors can be reimbursed up to $50.00 per chapter for expenses by the Publications and Products Committee. Royalties are for the benefit of the Division. Budget Requests and Reimbursement General Information All Committee and Task Force Chairs must submit a request for funding to the President and the Finance Committee for approval. It is important to remember that the Division budget year coincides with the calendar year and starts in January and ends in December; consistent with APA as well as appointments for most Committee and Task Force chairs. All Executive Committee members must report their expenditures on a six month basis at the time designated in order to be eligible for reimbursement. Suggested designated dates are mid-July for the first six month of the year and mid-January for the second six months. Late requests will be reviewed and reimbursements of late requests will occur on an individual basis based on an evaluation of the budget and are not automatically funded. Calendar A preliminary budget for the upcoming year is prepared by the past president, president, president elect and treasurer in August and reviewed by the Executive Committee at the annual meeting. In January a call for budget items is sent out along with the call for agenda. The budget is formed in consultation with individuals who performed the same or similar tasks in the past. The budget is submitted to the Executive Committee by the President and Treasurer of the Division during January prior to the midyear Executive Committee meeting. Mechanics The budget is formally approved at the midyear Executive Committee meeting of the Division. Committee and Task Force chairs are notified by the Treasurer of the amount approved for their operating expenses. Reimbursements are then requested by the Committee or Task Force chair to the Treasurer. A budget request should be completed on the form provided by the Treasurer (sample attached). It is extremely important that original receipts be attached. Final accounting should be submitted to the Treasurer as soon as the task is completed. Deadlines have been set twice a year for reimbursement. Expenses incurred between January 1 and June 30 must be submitted by July 15. Expenses incurred between July 1 and December 31 must be submitted by January 15. Receipts turned in late will be considered on an individual basis and may not be reimbursed if the Division is over-budget. Expenses Permitted Budget categories should conform to those in the Division budget form. If the expenses to be covered are different from those previously allotted to complete the same or similar tasks, the 54 budget should offer a rationale. Such discrepancies are anticipated, since there is a dramatic difference in the resources available to individuals performing Division functions. All officers, committee heads, editors, and task force chairs will stay within their expense budget. No payments over budget will be paid without prior approval from the President and the Executive Committee. Overage Procedure When an officer, committee head, editor, or task force chair sees that further expenditures will result in a budget overage of $200 or more, she or he will notify the President and the Treasurer. Notification will consist of talking with and/or emailing the President and Treasurer. The request should also be sent in writing with a copy kept by the individual making the request and should include the deadline by which the decision must be made and relevant information to assist the President in making the decision. The individual making the request must leave a telephone or facsimile number where a message may be left 24 hours a day. A budget overage of more than $200 must also be submitted by email to the Finance Committee with appropriate information as detailed above. The president in consultation with the Finance Committee will make a decision about reimbursement of such requests. It is requested that a minimum of 48 hours be given between notification of possible overrun and actual commitment of the funds. If the individual is unsure of her or his funding situation or is unable to reach the President, she or he may consult with the Treasurer or Finance Chair. Travel Reimbursement Policy Individuals Covered President, Past President, President-elect, Secretary, Treasurer, Members-at-Large, APA Council Representatives, International Psychology Bulletin Editors, and the APA Program Chair. Others committee chairs are eligible for reimbursement subject to the President's discretion, in consultation with the Executive Committee and budgetary limitations. Individuals are urged to use alternative funds to cover this travel if such funds are available. Travel Covered All persons listed above are eligible for up to the equivalent of full travel, subject to the availability of funds, to attend the midyear Executive Committee meeting. Officers are encouraged to share their rooms with other officers. In cases of hardship, the President, in consultation with the Executive Committee, will allocate a flat fee for a few committee chairs, subject to budgetary constraints. (Approved, 4/2009, Portland) Council Representatives are also eligible for reimbursement of expenses to cover incidentals for the midyear meeting of Council when their term of office is active. 55 Expenses Covered For those living more than 250 miles from the meeting, coach fare is reimbursed. Tickets should be purchased well in advance to take advantage of reduced rates for early bookings. For those living within 250 miles of a meeting, the Division will reimburse the cost of whatever form of transportation is least expensive, whether airfare or ground transportation. Train or bus fares are reimbursed at cost. Auto expenses are reimbursed at the current APA rate plus tolls. Local transportation and meals are NOT reimbursed by the Division. Request for Reimbursement All requests should be accompanied by original receipts. In order to avoid credit card finance charges to the individual, reimbursement can be requested at the time of purchase. This is done with the understanding that when such tickets are not used, it is the responsibility of the individual to immediately reimburse the Division. All requests are to be sent to the Treasurer, using the expense reimbursement form, illustrated in Appendix E. 56 Appendix E SAMPLE APA REIMBURSEMENT FORM A printable PDF version of this form can be downloaded from: www.division52secc.org/APAReimbursementRequest.pdf 57 SAMPLE APA TRAVEL EXPENSE WORK FORM A printable PDF version of this form can be downloaded from: www.division52secc.org/APATravelExpenseForm.pdf 58 Appendix F DIVISION AWARDEES Division Awards 1999 Career Awards for Outstanding Contributions to International Psychology Frances M.
