Heather Flynn, professor and interim chair of the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Social Medicine, has been selected as president-elect of the International Society for Interpersonal Psychotherapy (interpersonalpsychotherapy.org)

Flynn, who also serves as director of the FSU Center for Behavioral Health Integration, has worked with the organization for many years to improve and disseminate treatment for psychiatric disorders. 

“Interpersonal psychotherapy, which has been around since the 1980s, is an evidence-based treatment that is highly effective,” Flynn said. “As a committee chair, I have developed an international certification program for both therapists and supervisors, being rolled out now worldwide.”
