Description
The Taiwan Psychology Network (TPN) was formed in August of 2001 by a group of Taiwanese psychologists, mental health professionals, and graduate students in the United States and Taiwan. This organization was initiated by Dr. Gisela Lin (Past President, Asian American Psychological Association, 2001-2003; Psychologist IV, Texas A&M University Student Counseling Service), and together with Dr. Yu-Wei Wang (Research Director/Assistant Director of the Counseling Center and Clinical Associate Professor, University of Maryland, College Park; Associate Professor of Psychology, Southern Illinois University, 2004-2015; Ph.D. student in Counseling Psychology, University of Missouri, 1999-2004) they co-founded the TPN. After the 9/21 earthquake in Taiwan and the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States, the TPN was created to support and create linkages among psychologists and mental health professionals in both countries. The objectives of the TPN are (a) to promote collaboration and networking among psychologists and mental health professionals in Taiwan and the United States and (b) to contribute to the training and education of Taiwanese/Taiwanese American mental health professionals. The TPN will hold meetings, issue publications and other materials, and perform activities necessary or pertinent to the furtherance of the Network’s objectives.| Period | 2017 → 2018 |
