CALL FOR PAPERS
Communiqué Special Section on Indigenous People
The Communiqué is the semi-annual electronic newsjournal of the American Psychological Association's Office of Ethnic Minority Affairs (OEMA). The August 2010 issue will feature a special section on Indigenous People: Promoting Psychological Healing and Well-being. We seek papers from psychologists that address 2 or more of the following issues: (a) the history and culture of an indigenous culture; (b) the contemporary challenges faced by that culture and related effects on mental illness and well-being; (c) traditional indigenous perspectives on mental illness, mental health and/or other "special" populations (e.g., lesbian/gay/bisexual, elders, persons with disabilities, etc.); (d) contemporary culture-specific practices (i.e., those that are responsive to traditional beliefs and practices) for the treatment and/or promotion of well-being of persons with mental illness or other "special" populations; and, (e) related implications for psychological research, training and practice.
Consistent with the Communiqué's format as a newsjournal, articles should be relatively brief (500 – 1000 words) and accompanied by a 2 or 3 sentence biosketch and electronic photo of each author. Examples of the style and tone of previous Communiqué special sections can be examined at
http://www.apa.org/pi/oema/resources/communique/index.aspx
Please inform OEMA, as soon as possible, of your interest in preparing an article by emailing Bertha Holliday, PhD (bholliday@apa.org) or Alberto Figueroa-García, MBA (afigueroa@apa.org).
Completed articles along with author biosketches and electronic photos must be received by OEMA by June 7, 2010.
