Dr, Canter's contributions
to the psychological community, both locally and
nationally, span many years. Dr. Canter earned her
doctor's degree from ASU in 1965. In addition to her
private practice, 1966 to the present,, she has served
on numerous boards and committees: most notably the APA
(American Psychological Association) Board of Directors,
Chair and Vice-chair of the American Psychological
Association Ethics Committee, Chair of the committee
which wrote the 1992-2002 APA Code of Ethics on which
the current code is based. Dr. Canter is first author
of "Ethics for Psychologists: A Commentary on the APA
Ethics Code" and served for 10 years on the Arizona
State Board of Psychologist Examiners. Serving as
Consultant to the Maricopa County Juvenile Court and
Florence Crittenden Services highlights her interest in
child and adolescent development. Matty, as her
friends call her, has received far too many awards both
locally and nationally in her long career to mention.
She is a Fellow of the APA, and was recognized as a
Distinguished Practitioner of the National Academies.
We are fortunate and excited to have Dr. Canter
speak on Ethics and Legal Issues to our group.
