Faculty Highlights

A glimpse into the professional achievements of Derner faculty throughout 2012-2013.

Honors

Dr. Robert Bornstein is the recipient of the distinguished Martin Mayman Award from the Society for Personality Assessment, presented to him at the Society’s annual meeting in San Diego in March 2013. The Mayman Award is bestowed annually by the SPA for an article that makes a distinguished contribution to the personality assessment literature as an outstanding case study, qualitative research project, or theoretical development. The Award was granted in recognition of the article, “Rorschach Score Validation as a Model for 21st-Century Personality Assessment,” which was written by Bob as the sole author and appeared in the January Issue (volume 94, #1) of the Journal of Personality Assessment. Bob has won the award twice previously, and is the only person in the history of SPA to have done so. In 2002, he received the award for his paper, “A process dissociation approach to objective-projective test score interrelationships.”

Dr. Jonathan Jackson was awarded an APA Stimulus Grant in November 2012, on behalf of the Derner Institute, to provide seed funding to pursue APA-accreditation for the Derner Internship Consortium. Thanks to his efforts, four Derner students will be employed as interns at the Consortium’s affiliated sites in the upcoming 2013-2014 year.
