Maybe ask for an actual JD/person spec. Would you consider joining the BPS if it made it more likely you'd be considered for the job? I'm a very lapsed member of the collective and would be motivated to be more involved if you were at the helm! There is always a danger that the CPF and other similar trade mags get clogged up with rather repetitive papers detailing groups or audits often submitted by quite junior psychologists who assume there is a "accepted" range of topics and formats which they should reproduce. However, Forum really is still worth supporting for the odd (in all senses of the word) little nugget. Maybe time for a critical/community coup?

I edited Forum for 19 years, from a 6x per year publication to monthly, created the collective (it was once just me), steered it thru the deaths of two collective members + my partner Jacqui who used to type it all in, and was the longest serving member of the DCP committee. Along the way I was Chair of the Psychotherapy Section + came back to edit CPF 8 months after a nr fatal accident. I applied for the vacant post last month having checked that no-one on the collective was interested. I have just been told that I am not eligible as I'm not a member of the BPS and there have been other 'expressions of interest.' The job advert made no mention of BPS membership. So, what to do? C
