I am so very saddened to see this news of the loss of a giant in our field, someone who also stood beside us in APA Council to address important issues for psychology and APA.

Stanley was part of the group that put independent practice on the map. He was a force in APA, a founder of Div 42 and a major donor to the Div 42 Steve Wallfish Grant with APF.
I worked with him in many contexts and found him to be thoughtful and forthright.
Stanley was the last president of the American Society of
Stanley Graham is being described as a force - and he was definitely a force. He made Independent Practice a strong and noticed part of APA. He demanded respect for the practice of psychology with a voice that we haven't heard since.
For me he was part of the Golden Age of Practice.

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I had an opportunity to work with Stanley, in practice related issues, primarily. He really loved psychology and APA.
Jennifer F. Kelly, PhD, ABPP
Stanley was a proud and stalwart spokesman for professional psychology. His term as president followed mine, affording me an opportunity to work and travel nationally and internationally with him. He loved our profession and was proud to be a psychologist. Stay steadfast my friend, Joe Matarazzo
I am sad to hear this news. Stanley contributed significantly. He was complex, and "evolved and grew" along with the rest of us about so many issues that psychology faced. He was always good to me.

Truly a "man for all seasons",
Stanley Graham was an exemplary psychologist, a caring and supportive therapist and a mentor to graduate students of psychology. He also knew and could sing the lyrics to many of Broadway's greatest hits!
Dr. Graham made an impact in so many ways. We crossed paths as colleagues many a time, and I always found the experience, both entertaining and rewarding. But the legacy that stands out for me, the number of therapists who passed through Fifth Avenue, as well as his postgraduate institutes. These are the people that will carry on his work, and preserve his indelible memory. His legacy will live on through their work. His influence will never be forgotten.
