On February 6, 2016, Bernardo M. Ferdman, Ph.D. was recognized as a new Fellow of the Society of Consulting Psychology (SCP) at its Midwinter Conference in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

SCP, Division 13 of the American Psychological Association (APA), brings together psychologists who “share a commitment to apply psychological insights for the success and fulfillment of individuals, groups, and organizations.”  Fellow status is “an honor bestowed upon APA members who have shown evidence of unusual and outstanding contributions or performance in the field of psychology.”

With this recognition, Ferdman is now Fellow of five APA divisions: SCP (Div. 13), Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (Div. 14), International Psychology (Div. 52), Society for the Psychological Study of Culture, Ethnicity, and Race (Div. 45), and Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (Div. 9).

After being introduced by SCP Fellows Chair Judith Blanton, Ph.D., Ferdman made remarks highlighting the importance of social justice and inclusion, including the need to become more comfortable with the discomfort of working across differences:
