Campbell

Linda Campbell, director of the University of Georgia’s Center for Counseling housed in the College of Education, has received a Presidential Citation from the American Psychological Association.

Campbell, a professor in the department of counseling and human development services, was one of only 10 psychologists chosen this year for the recognition. From among the 150,000 members of the APA, each year the president selects 10 members who have made distinguished and outstanding contributions to the profession.

APA President Melba Vasquez noted Campbell’s “commitment to serving as a role model for an ethics-centered professional life and for her contributions to advancing a culture of competence, her dedication to teaching and scholarship and her devoted time to serving psychologists, students, and clients through her wisdom, high energy, and positive outlook.”

Campbell is a licensed psychologist in the state of Georgia. Her teaching and research interests include ethics, psychotherapy and assessment training, cognitive behavioral therapies, supervision and assessment.

She was first author of the APA’s Ethics Code Commentary and Case Illustrations book in 2010. The APA’s Code of Ethics is the accepted set of standards for professional behavior of psychologists and has since published several chapters on ethics, education and training, and is completing a co-authored book on self-help resources.

Campbell is a member of the APA Council of Representatives, the APA Policy and Planning Board, and is vice-president of the Georgia State Board of Examiners of Psychology.
