Department of Psychology at Illinois State University
In June 2000, Doug officially retired from the University in his two major roles of Director of the University Counseling Services and Professor of Psychology. When asked to continue teaching a course or two in Psychology, Dug jumped at the opportunity. He continued teaching the professional issues graduate course (now PSY 470 Legal, Ethical, and Practice Issues in Clinical-Counseling Psychology) through fall 2004. Although he kept his office in the department for one more semester, Doug is now officially no longer on the Psychology faculty roster and is pleased to be involved in other professional activities.
Doug is well know for his research contributions, particularly in the areas of ethics,, professional boundaries, professional impairment, and his "15 minutes of fame" article with Dr. Glenn Reeder on class reunions that appeared in Psychology Today (and was featured as the cover story and art work). He has received numerous awards within the University, locally, and at the national level. Doug is currently consulting with the local mental health center, as well as with therapists from several private practice groups.
Doug and Gail's children live and work in Bloomington-Normal and it is great to have their two grandchildren in town. We are are pleased that Doug continues to drop in to see us from time to time, always recognizable by his many caps, occasional bizarre humor, and his colorful ties.
