 ADAA is pleased to announce that Luana Marques, PhD has been elected President-Elect of the ADAA Board of Directors and will assume the Board Presidency in January of 2020.
Dr. Marques has been an active member of ADAA since 2008 and has served on the board since 2016. Dr. Marques is an ADAA Clinical Fellow, serves as the board liaison to the ADAA Annual Conference Committee, the Professional Education Committee, the PTSD Special Interest Group and the Multicultural Advances Special Interest Group.
Dr. Marques is a licensed clinical psychologist in the states of Massachusetts and New York and an expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She is the director and founder of Community Psychiatry Program for Research in Implementation and Dissemination of Evidence-Based Treatments (Community Psychiatry PRIDE), and an associate professor in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Community Psychiatry PRIDE is a dissemination and implementation psychiatry research center that focuses on reducing mental health disparities in communities. The program is designed to study the process by which evidence-based treatments (EBTs) can be effectively disseminated to community clinics, which in turn leads to increased access and quality of care across a wide range of psychiatric disorders.
Dr. Marques’ major clinical and research interests include the treatment of anxiety and trauma-related disorders, with a particular focus on the implementation of empirically supported treatments for patients suffering from the various anxiety disorders in community health clinics. Her research goal is to decrease disparities in care for psychiatric patients, especially among low-income and ethnic minority patients.
“The Board of Directors and I congratulate Dr. Marques on her appointment and look forward to working collaboratively with membership and staff to ensure ADAA's ongoing success,” says Dr. Beth Salcedo, ADAA Board President.

The Professional Education Committee (PrEC) is charged with oversight of all ADAA professional education offerings including ADAA webinars. The Committee also oversees the Clinical Fellows program which offers participants an exclusive learning opportunity to further their clinical training in anxiety, depression, and related disorders by participating in ADAA’s continuing education opportunities with the goal of providing quality patient care.

“Being Chair of the PrEC has been a natural progression for me in my involvement in ADAA, as I moved from being on another committee to this one when it was formed three years ago. I have been a member of ADAA for 25 years and was invited by my mentor to become involved early on. I am always amazed by what we ADAA members can do together on every committee I have been on, and I have met wonderful people as well. I invite you to become involved by helping us find great webinar topics and speakers. Nominate yourself or ask a non-member with a great topic to apply to give a webinar, and contact me if you have any suggestions for professional education.”
 Liza Bonin, PhD, Vice-Chair
Dr. Liza Bonin is a clinical psychologist at Texas Children's Hospital who specializes in pediatric health anxiety and OCD. She is Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine and the Training Director for the Texas Children's Hospital Psychology Internship.

“I joined ADAA to advance my clinical practice skills and have the opportunity to partner with like-minded professionals who are committed to improving the quality of their work. My involvement with the Professional Education Committee allows me to contribute in a meaningful way to the quality of clinical practice through evidence-based professional education. My roles in ADAA have been professionally and personally fulfilling. I have come to know a great group of colleagues who are passionate about their practice and have amazing clinical expertise.”
Nina Rifkind, LCSW, ACS, Vice-Chair
Ms. Rifkind has specialized in the evidenced-based treatment of Anxiety Disorders and OCD for more than 20 years.

“I became a member of ADAA and attended my first conference many years ago. I then decided to reconnect and become more active several years ago, when going full time with my private practice. I wanted a community that would foster continual growth in my areas of specialty and provide a network of expertise and professional distinction. I was thrilled to be asked to Vice Chair the Professional Education Committee last month. My enthusiasm for the Clinical Fellows Program made this a logical fit. I look forward to helping to grow the Committee, to continue, and build on the outstanding educational opportunities offered by ADAA and encourage many more professionals to learn more about the Clinical Fellows Program and consider the distinction of exhibiting a commitment to the most current, cutting edge research and treatments available.”

ADAA
ADAA's Public Education Committee, in collaboration with the ADAA Child and Adolescent Special Interest Group (SIG), have created two helpful outreach tools to address a need often voiced by ADAA members: How can we inform parents and pediatricians about child anxiety? Why spend hours of your own time trying to create material that effectively and concisely communicates the CBT based services that you offer your clients? Let ADAA do the hard work for you! ADAA members can download and access an ADAA Pediatric Outreach PowerPoint presentation and a customizable brochure (you will need to log-in with your ADAA member ID and password) that summarize empirically supported treatment protocols for anxiety and related disorders. These communication tools will assist in facilitating richer working relationships and clinical collaboration with physicians in your community.

The concern is based on a new analysis of brain scans involving nearly 100 newborns, some of whom were born to mothers who took selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) while pregnant. Some examples of SSRIs are Zoloft, Lexapro, Celexa and Prozac.

At the turn of the 20th century, prominent physicians who were trying to understand where mental illness comes from seized on a new theory: autointoxication. Intestinal microbes, these doctors suggested, are actually dangerous to their human hosts. They have a way of inducing "fatigue, melancholia and the neuroses," as a historical article in the journal Gut Pathogens recounts.
