2024 Isaac Ray Award Winner

Richard Rogers, Regents Professor at the University of North Texas, was bestowed the prestigious Isaac Ray Award by the American Psychiatric Association at the annual conference in May 2024. 


The Isaac Ray Award, established in 1951, recognizes a person who has made outstanding contributions to forensic psychiatry or to the psychiatric aspects of jurisprudence. It is a joint award of the APA and the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law that honors Isaac Ray, M.D., one of the original founders and the fourth president of the American Psychiatric Association.

It is rare that the American Psychiatric Association goes beyond its professional discipline to recognize a distinguished forensic psychologist. Its last time was Stephen J. Morse, J.D., Ph.D., in 2014. Congratulations Dr. Rogers!

Call for Book Proposals

The American Psychology-Law Society invites proposals for new titles in its book series, which is now published by APA Books. We publish authored and edited volumes on current issues at the intersection of psychology and law. Books are typically a state of the science synthesis of a body of existing research with implications for practice and/or policy. Authors and editors should have a substantial and recent track record of publication and/or practice in psychology or law, and at least one should hold a doctorate in psychology or closely related behavioral science. If you have a proposal for a new book in the series or you would simply like more information, reach out to a member of the editorial team. We would be happy to tell you more.
