Trudy Bond
Trudy Bond, Ed.D. has been a licensed psychologist in Ohio and Michigan since 1980. She has participated in the training and supervision of psychology interns and masters students for over 18 years, as well as qualified as an expert witness in criminal, civil and family courts in Ohio. Dr. Bond has specialized in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and has been trained to provide psychological evaluations for those seeking asylum by the Physicians for Human Rights.
In addition to the Coalition for an Ethical Psychology, she was a steering member for several years for Psychologists for Social Responsibility -- an international organization of psychologists, other mental health professionals, students, and social justice advocates. She is the recipient of the 2015 Anthony J. Marsella Prize for the Psychology of Peace and Social Justice.
Beginning in 2007, in addition to a full time clinical practice, Dr. Bond has worked extensively to hold psychologists accountable for their roles in the torture and abuse of detainees by filing complaints with state licensing boards and the American Psychological Association. These efforts have been facilitated by extensive collaboration with many partners including the Center for Constitutional Rights and the Harvard Law School International Human Rights Clinic.
