Dr. Susan Thorson- Barnett has been named head of the Department of Psychology at North- western State University. She has served as acting department head for the past year.
She has been a member of Northwestern’s faculty since 1995. She was promoted to assistant professor of psychology in 2001 and associate professor in 2007. Barnett was coordinator of the undergraduate psychology program in 2001-2003 and coordinator of the addiction studies program in 2003-2006.
“I have enjoyed working with our students and faculty and staff in the Department of Psychology for the past year,” said Barnett. “Over the past several years, we have developed outstanding programs and have continued to be receptive to the needs of our students and the region.”
NSU offers traditional bachelor’s and master’s degrees in psychology. Northwestern’s online Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Psychology/Substance Abuse Prevention Counseling programs are rated among the Best Values in Online Colleges by the website GetEducated.com.
“We know that Northwestern has to reach out to students who need to be able to take classes any time and any place,” said Barnett. “Our online programs have been a great success because they are strong academically at a price that is affordable.”
Barnett was presented the Northwestern State University Alumni Association Excellence in Teaching Award for the College of Liberal Arts in 2007. Two years earlier, the Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts honored her with the Wellness Icon Award for Academic Leadership and Community Service. In 2002, Barnett received NSU’s Outstanding Faculty Advisor of the Year Award. Since 2004, Barnett has served on the University’s Academic Advising Council. Barnett has made numerous presentations at local, state, national and international conferences. Her area of research is “student well-being,” classroom well being, positive psychology and faculty advising.

I first met George Hearn in 1976 when I became a student member of LPA. I was wandering around the convention and Tom Stigall introduced me to George. This was a grand thing for a student but then George made it even better. He sat a few minutes with me, apparently in no particular hurry. He asked me a few questions. He said a few wise words. And in that brief time, he communicated an acceptance that stuck with me. Perhaps it was CBT or Rogerian or maybe it was George being George. In the middle of a busy conference, his message rang in my head like a crystal bell, “You’re important to us. We’re glad you are here.”
George was a real psychologist. He was a licensed professional, a department head, and classically trained. He was a student of personality and human culture and sought to understand the larger view of time and of history. He fought for his country and loved his family. He stayed in close contact to his higher power and it seems to me that he never forgot that in comparison, he was a lower power.
Nick Cummings gave a talk titled “Getting Away from Professional Psychology’s Sado-Masochistic Marriage to Academia,” at NAPPP’s conference last year. He was highly critical of the scientist-practitioner model (called it scientist-professional), saying that it “… produces mediocre scientists and less than skilled practitioners.” He pointed out that we’re the only (healthcare) profession with this model and recommended a change to be like all the others. (Presumably the others are doing one bang- up job in comparison, a conclusion I seriously doubt.)
For exploring job design I suggest changing terms a little. Instead of “practitioner” let’s use the term “technician,” someone skilled in practical applications. (Let’s drop “professional” altogether because of its circular definition. It is more of a projective test than anything else.)
And let’s also add the word “philosopher” to scientist, since it is philosophy that is the fundamental study of truth and knowledge, the attempt to separate what is real from what our minds can contort into what appears to be real. Science is a subset of philosophy, and this is training in thinking about thinking.
Buckminster Fuller categorized behavior into levels related to productivity and quality of contribution. He said there is doing, thinking about doing, and thinking about thinking. As one goes up the levels, the benefits multiply.
The first two are the technicians. The third, thinking about thinking, is the job of the philosopher and scientist. As psychologists our job is to apply all three in our work, even at the individual level. The quality of service and productivity we offer because we engage all three levels will always surpass the work of even a good technician. Clients deserve this level of quality.
It’s a noble ideal and of course not easily achieved. I over simplify the issue when it is not simple at all. We are always going to be playing catch-up if we’re honest with ourselves. But it is still the right job description for real psychologists.
Like Dr. George Hearn, who for certain, and in all ways, was a real psychologist.

Dr. Janet Matthews recently returned from APA's annual Educational Leadership Con- ference held in September. As chair of APA's Board of Educational Affairs, Janet opened the session, chaired several others, and presented awards. She also made “hill visits” to advocate for increased funding for the Graduate Psychology Education bill.
In other activities, Janet was appointed as one of the four delegates from APA to work on an inter-organizational task force to study and review the “entire training process in professional psychology.”
Janet told the Times, “APA's Education Directorate is using its convening ability to have an inter-organizational working group meet and consider a range of issues related to profess- sional training in psychology.” She mentioned that the limited number of internships relative to applicants is one of the issues being addressed. However, Janet said, “…it was felt that the entire training process should be evaluated. This topic obviously involves more than just APA,” she noted. “The other 2 groups who are sending delegates are the Council of Graduate Departments of Psychology and the Council of Chairs of Training Councils.”

At the September 15th, 2010 board meeting the LSBEP (Louisiana State Board of Examiners of Psychologists) decided to recommend to the state medical board that they “strike in its entirety” a prohibition in the 2009 rules for physicians. This prohibition is worded in a way that could be viewed to instruct physicians to avoid consulting with psychologists.
The psychology board’s concern came after reviewing the rules that had been published in the August 2009 Louisiana Register by the medical board. These rules govern the practice of physicians who consult and collaborate with medical psychologists.
Under “General Prohibitions,” number “A.3.” the rules note, “A physician shall not consult and collaborate: […] 3. with a psychologist who is not an MP; […].” The members of the board found this could possibly conflict with their past opinion(s).
Members decided to recommend to the medical board that the sentence be removed and to forward this recommendation to the medical board “for their consideration.”
These rules–“Consultation and Collaboration with Medical Psychologists”–were previously considered by the psychology board. They are the same rules that some have noted to be an impetus for Act 251.
In the psychology board’s minutes from March 2009, Dr. Glen Ally, then the Liaison to Professional Organizations and Boards, reported that the final draft of these rules was acceptable. And, he noted that he had written to the medical board indicating that LSBEP would not oppose the rules.

In their April presentation at the LPA convention, psychology board representatives reminded psychologists that RS 12:1132 requires a phrase to be included in the corporate name of those practicing psychology through a corporation.
The statute about the corporate name (Ҥ1132) was added in 1980 and notes that:
The name shall end with one of the phrases (which may be in parentheses) "A Professional Psychology Corporation," "A Professional Corporation" or "A Psychology Corporation." The name may include "Limited" or "Ltd." The name need not contain "Incorporated" or "Inc."
Executive Director, Ms. Jaime Monic, explained to the Times that the topic was considered at the board’s April Long-Range Planning meeting. She said, “The issue arose from the discovery that some registered corporations were not incorporated by licensed psychologists. However, this led to discussions regarding the requirement for professional psychology corporations to be subject to regulation by the LSBEP.”
She continued, “As a result, we will be taking a closer look at this law over the next year to determine the need for and level of rule making in this area. Once the Board has completed its due diligence we will work with licensees to educate them on the requirements of the statute and, if needed, correct any issues which may be discovered as we delve into this area.”
For some, articles of incorporation may need to be amended to include the additional phrase. A CPA or attorney can draft the amendment and submit to the Secretary of States’ office. Guy Knootz, CPA, a Baton Rouge accountant, noted that filing fees to amend articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State’s office will be approximately $60.
Sole proprietorships do not fall under the same requirement.

According to the Louisiana Board of Ethics of June 24th, 2009, representatives of the Louisiana Academy of Medical Psychologists PAC appeared to request that the Ethics board waive $10,500 in fines.
Listed as Docket No. 09- 563, the report noted that the PAC was fined due to late fees because they failed to file timely reports for the October 4, 2008, November 4, 2008, and April 4, 2009 elections.
Ms. Womack from the Ethics Administration explained to the Times that according to records $5,000 was waived, and $500 was suspended. If the PAC misses future filing deadlines, Ms. Womack noted, they will have to go back and pay all original fines.

Publisher’s note: This column is about psychologists who, despite the recession and the double SS tax, are following a spark of entrepreneurship, and making a difference in peoples’ lives.
Personable, genuine and articulate, Dr. Kathy Robison seems the perfect psychologist. “But,” she told the Times, “I’m different than many psychologists. I worked for Shell Oil in New Orleans for many years as a geophysicist.”
In her previous career path–all math, science and technology–she eventually found that something was missing. “My love for child psychology started when I had kids,” she said. She explained that she and her husband now laugh because years ago she would often comment, “My dream job would be a child psychologist.”
“Psychology is the perfect mix of science and people,” Kathy said. As a geophysicist she honed her critical thinking and analytical talents. “I really love solving problems. It’s a gift I have–I can put things together.” But she said, “I always knew I wanted to work with kids.”
Kathy’s husband is a geologist and the dual career couple allowed Kathy the opportunity to return to school. She attended UNO for undergraduate hours and Tulane’s APA accredited school psychology doctoral program, graduating in 2002. She found that the scientific approach required for excellence in school psychology suited her natural style and intellectual curiosity.
Kathy completed her internship in the LSU Human Development System (Jefferson Parish), which was APA accredited. Then she went on to the Mercy Family Center where she had the opportunity to work with a multidisciplinary team, uniquely talented clinicians, and with diverse client populations. This experience allowed her to further develop her knowledge and she said, “To learn the fine distinctions between different diagnostic conditions.”
While at Mercy Family she also had the opportunity to learn a little bit about business aspects, insurance companies, CPT codes, economic issues, and some exposure to general administration of an office.
Recently Kathy has launched her own private practice in school psychology where she specializes in comprehensive psycho-educational evaluations and consulting with parents and teachers (Functional Behavioral Assessment and Behavioral Intervention Plans). She also provides individual and family therapy primarily for youngsters with ADHD, Asperger’s and Anxiety disorders.
And like many other Americans, she is finding that running a small business is different, but very satisfying. “I’m spending more time doing psychology,” she said. “At Mercy I was the senior psychologist and had a fair amount of administrative duties.”
The greater sense of autonomy is a plus for her, and with it comes awareness that she can choose and direct the case in a positive and satisfying way. “Now I’m seeing more cases where I’m feeling that I can really fix the problem.”
She explained, “I am often the first mental health professional to see the child, and can give the parents and child a sense of relief that I can help them. It is very rewarding.”
Kathy also enjoys the hours. “I like the flexibility over my own schedule. I can do a lot of testing one week, then write all the reports the next. If I want to see someone on a Saturday I can, since my office isn’t far from our home.”
Some services require a lot of flexibility on her part. She provides a “teacher training program” which is a 12-week, hands-on “coaching” program to assist the teacher in classroom management skills, focusing on positive verbal reinforcement. “I love this work because if I can change one teacher I affect every student she teaches.” The hands-on work is very important because “…research shows in-services are relatively ineffective for changing teacher behavior,” Kathy noted.
Since she is still getting started, it is too soon to hire a secretary. So, Kathy feels the pinch of having all the clerical and office management. “At Mercy this aspect was different. I realize that I was somewhat sheltered from that by the secretarial staff.”
Kathy also is finding the unpredictability of the income to be a bit strange as she transitions from a salaried position to writing her own paychecks. She admits that it may take her a while to get used to that difference.
Regardless of the hiccups in the transition, she enjoys her new business environment. Referrals are coming and she has developed a strong reputation with those familiar with her work. Colleagues help her with the details–she mentioned that Dr. Ron Cambias helped her find her billing company and Dr. Lynn Adams gave her intake and HIPAA forms. But, Kathy said, “I miss having people to collaborate with. I’m not a loner. I like being part of a group.” So she may be fine-tuning things someday as she continues to style her work life to match her dreams.
Dr. Katherine A. Robison’s office is in Metairie at 3350 Ridgelake Drive. She can be contacted at 504.913.2688 or krobisonphd@cox.net.

At LSU’s Anxiety & Addictive Behaviors Clinic (AABC), Dr. Julia (Julie) Buckner and her team integrate state-of-the-art assessments and treatments, with cutting edge research. The AABC was founded by Dr. Buckner, and is a specialty clinic within the LSU Psychology Services Center on the Baton Rouge campus.
Dr. Buckner will chair the symposium, “Laboratory Research Applications: Science for the Outside World, from Lab to Clinic to Community,” at the Fall Meeting of the Louisiana Psychological Association Scientific Program, October 23rd in Baton Rouge.
“We specialize in the assessment and treatment of adult anxiety disorders,” Julie explained to the Times, “with a particular emphasis on the co-occurrence of anxiety and substance-related problems.”
Julie, an assistant professor, recently joined the LSU faculty after a series of career steps that led her to specialize in the combination of anxiety and substance use.
After working at New York State Psychiatric Institute’s Anxiety Clinic, she went on to study maternal substance use and children’s mental health, and then cognitive variables related to drinking in a “bar lab” at Yale University. She told the Times, “Given the high rate of co-occurring anxiety and substance use, merging these two interests was a natural next step. My research and clinical work concerns understanding the nature and treatment of adult anxiety disorders, especially when they co- occur with substance use problems.”
She explained that substance use continues to be one of the most prevalent psychiatric disorders, with alcohol use the most prevalent and marijuana the most common illicit substance use disorder. A recent survey by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) indicated that there is a nationwide increase in substance use that is being driven by an eight percent increase in marijuana use.
In light of growing recognition of the impact of anxiety on substance-related behaviors, SAMHSA asked Julie to chair their expert consensus panel for the “Treatment Improvement Protocol” on Managing Anxiety Symptoms in Early Recovery [working title]. Since May Julie has worked closely with SAMHSA and panel members to write recommendations for best practice assessment and treatment of elevated, subclinical anxiety symptoms among individuals in substance abuse treatment.
At AABC adult clients are assisted with time-limited, cognitive-behavioral treatment in both individual and group formats to help them with the interplay of the two conditions. “Many of our clients have struggled with anxiety and/or substance-related problems for many years,” Julie noted, “and often enter therapy very hopeless about whether they will ever experience symptom relief. One of the most rewarding outcomes for me then, is watching these clients experience symptom relief and improved functioning as a result of treatment.”
Improvements come in many forms Julie explained. “Individuals with social anxiety who have avoided social activities not only experience improvements in their social support systems—they start dating, make new friends, achieve closer relationships with existing support networks—but oftentimes will start engaging in more physical activities, as their fear of negative evaluation decreases.”
“We see similar improvements in health among our clients with substance use disorders who often begin to exercise more as a result of symptom relief.” She added, “Similarly, we know there is a strong relationship between sleep and anxiety and substance use, and we explicitly attend to problematic sleeping behaviors when clients report difficulties with sleep.”
In addition to providing clinical services the AABC is also committed to research that refines existing treatments, discovers risk and resilience factors, and helps clients avoid relapse and improve faster. Clients of the AABC are asked to partici- pate in a confidential research study to better understand mechanisms of treat- ment and outcomes.
For example, Julie’s team is examining how laboratory induced anxiety affects physiological reactivity and craving for marijuana. Part of this study involves examining how those adults with and those without social anxiety disorder respond differently.
“We are also currently testing the utility of a one session MI [motivational interviewing] intervention to explore and resolve ambivalence about seeking treatment for social anxiety among non-treatment seekers with social anxiety disorder,” she said. “In a separate study we are striving to identify the optimal dose of MI for LSU students that have been referred to our clinic for marijuana treatment by the Dean of Academic Affairs.”
Julie and her research team produce a steady flow of scholarly contributions. When the Times requested a recent in-press article, Julie asked, "…which one?" She has 12 in-press at this time, with over 50 publications, including peer-reviewed manuscripts, book chapters, and a book. Her team includes doctoral students who work in both the treatment and the research areas. For example, Julie and Anthony Ecker, an LSU doctoral student, have authored, “Mental health problems and interest in marijuana treatment among marijuana-using college students,” in Addictive Behaviors. LSU graduate student Jose Silgado and Julie have in press “Marijuana craving during a public speaking challenge: understanding marijuana use vulnerability among women and those with social anxiety disorder” in J. of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry. Julie and LSU graduate student Steve Proctor have in press “Cocaine dependence and anxiety sensitivity among patients presenting for residential drug use treatment” in J. of Cognitive Psychotherapy.
Dr. Buckner received her doctoral degree form Florida State University, where she served as the assistant director of the Anxiety and Behavioral Health Research Laboratory. She completed her clinical internship in the Division of Substance Abuse at the Yale University School of Medicine.
