Nadine Kaslow is an American psychologist, the 2014 president of the American Psychological Association (APA) and the editor of the Journal of Family Psychology. Before her current affiliation with Emory University, Kaslow worked at Yale University.
Growing up near Philadelphia, Kaslow was the daughter of psychologist Florence Kaslow. Kaslow studied dance when she was young and belonged to the Pennsylvania Ballet in high school and part of college. She attended the University of Pennsylvania and completed a PhD in psychology at the University of Houston. She nearly joined the Houston Ballet while she was in graduate school, but she decided that she would have had to lose an unhealthy amount of weight to do so.
After completing a predoctoral internship and postgraduate training at the University of Wisconsin, Kaslow worked at Yale University before moving to Emory University in 1990. She is in private practice at the Emory Clinic, is the chief psychologist for the Grady Health System and is the psychologist for the Atlanta Ballet. She is the editor of the Journal of Family Psychology. One of Kaslow's key accomplishments was founding the Grady Nia Project. This program began in the early 1990s and has impacted the lives of about 1,000 women. The Grady Nia Project is a program in suicide and domestic violence prevention for African-American women. The program aims to empower women to lead lives without violence, and to boost their self-esteem.
Prior to becoming president of the APA, Kaslow chaired the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers from 1998-2002 and now is a board member emeritus of that organization. In 2002, she chaired the multinational 2002 Competencies Conference: Future Directions in Education and Credentialing in Professional Psychology. After serving as president of the American Board of Clinical Psychology, she was President of the American Board of Professional Psychology in 2010 and 2011. She also served as the President of Family Process Institute and the Wynne Center for Family Research. Kaslow was a fellow in the 2003-2004 Class of the Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine (ELAM) Program for Women, a fellow in the 2004 Woodruff Leadership Academy, and a Primary Care Public Policy fellow through the United States Public Health Service - Department of Health and Human Services.
