In addition, he serves on the American Psychological Association (APA) BEA\/BPA Task Force on Doctoral Competencies in Health Service Psychology. He was trained in forensic and neuropsychology and has worked in the Washington State Department of Corrections, and currently as a forensic evaluator in the Office of Forensic Mental Health Services in Washington State. He is the recipient of the Psychologist of the Year 2019 from the Washington State Psychological Association and the Distinguished Alumni Award from Antioch University for his work on immigration reform in 2018.

Dr. Bergkamp is also an Affiliate Faculty<\/a> of the Illumination of Mindfulness Institute at Alliant International University. He has been a Buddhist practitioner for over 30 years, starting with Soto Zen and then moving primarily to the Sakya School of Tibetan Buddhism. His residential study at the International Buddhist Academy focused on the Abhidharmakosa from the 8th<\/sup>-century scholar, Vasubandhu. Dr. Bergkamp\u2019s decolonial orientation also encourages a strong critique of the Western cultural appropriation of Buddhist concepts, principally Western psychology\u2019s modification of mindfulness. Other concepts of focus include spiritual bypassing, by which Westerners seek healing through Buddhist practice, and spiritual materialism, in which Westerners inevitably impose an individualist worldview onto Buddhist principles.<\/span>  <\/p><\/div>
