Ep. 23: 75th Anniversary Special Series: An Interview with Dr. Linda Bodie, Past President, 2011-2012 - a podcast by Division18 APA

In this episode we interview Dr. Linda Bodie, president of Division 18 from 2011-2012 as part of our special 75th anniversary series. Dr. Bodie describes efforts to increase membership in the division, especially among early career psychologists. She discusses the importance of cultivating and maintaining connections with all the sections and being open to conversations about controversial topics. Dr. Bodie describes how APA's initiatives (e.g., evidence based treatment for returning military service members, Veterans and their families, preventive health with respect to obesity and tobacco use), aligned with Division 18's, and the importance of "having a seat at the table". Finally, she reflects on the future of Division 18, where we've made some strides and still have a ways to go.
