I'm happy to have the opportunity to write a few words about a wonderful psychologist, Beverly Greene, whose photographs appear on this web site.
Dr. Greene, a practicing clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at St. John's University, is a Diplomate in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), and a fellow of the American Psychological Association and 6 of its divisions.
In 1994 she received the Distinguished Humanitarian Award from the American Association of Applied & Preventive Psychology.
She has received literally scores of awards from prominent associations in such areas as mentoring, leadership, research, teaching, publications, and outstanding contributions to diverse branches of psychology. In 2003, she was the recipient of the APA Committee on Women in Psychology’s Distinguished Leadership Award citing her "profound and far reaching contributions to psychological theory and practice relating to women, giving voice to the invisible and the unheard."
Bev is a caring and decent person, someone I feel the field and the public are so fortunate to have working on their behalf. It is not just her work but who she is as a person. She justifies the deep trust that others place in her, inspires by her example and generous spirit.
I've benefited in many ways from her wisdom and friendship. Friends, students, and colleagues tell me stories in which Bev's understanding, acceptance, and creative action had a validating, healing, or liberating effect on their lives.
She is currently working on 2 new books, A Minyan of Women: Family Dynamics, Jewish Identities, and Psychotherapy Practice and Teaching Cultural Competence in Graduate Mental Health (with Gladys Croom). Her prior books include the widely-used text Abnormal Psychology in a Changing World, 5th Edition (with Jeffrey Nevid & Spence Rathaus); the award-winning Women of Color: Integrating Ethnic and Gender Identities in Psychotherapy (with Lillian Comas-Diaz); Ethnic & Cultural Diversity Among Lesbians and Gay Men; Psychotherapy with African American Women (with Leslie Jackson); and Education, Practice, & Research in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgendered Psychology: A Resource Manual (with Gladys Croom).
