Membership Information

Membership in SPA offers a great many benefits and is regarded as one of the best bargains around. It includes:

• A subscription to the Journal of Personality Assessment. Edited by Martin Sellbom, PhD, this highly regarded journal is an essential resource for assessment professionals who wish to learn from colleagues and leaders in the field, expand professionally, and update their knowledge of assessment methods.
• An energetic and information-rich Convention that provides the opportunity to meet with assessment psychologists from other states and countries, network with fellow researchers and colleagues, share ideas, present and/or learn about the latest new research findings, contribute to and/or hear about applied clinical assessment experiences, and collaborate about professional concerns. Unique in these exciting and dynamic meetings are many formal and informal opportunities to personally meet and dialog with respected leaders in our field - not to mention the chance to travel to stimulating places such as San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, or the Washington, DC area.
• A way to join in awarding outstanding research efforts, recognize distinguished contributors to the field, and support student research.
• Waiver of membership dues for Life Members and Life Fellows. Per the SPA Bylaws, members must be at least 70 years of age and have at least 20 years of membership.
• Voting privileges for members.
• Volunteer opportunities.
• Reduced rates for convention and workshop registration.
• For an extra fee, membership in the International Society of the Rorschach and Projective Methods, which includes a subscription to Rorschachiana and potential participation in its triennial international congress.
