Early life and education[edit]

Dianne Lynn Chambless was born in Montgomery, Alabama, on February 26, 1948.[1] She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Tulane University and her PhD in Clinical Psychology from Temple University.[2] While earning her PhD, she joined the Feminist Therapy Collective, Inc. in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania part-time until 1976.[3]

Career[edit]

Upon earning her PhD, Chambless became an assistant professor at the University of Georgia from 1979 to 1982. She accepted a one-year visiting professorship at Temple University School of Medicine before earning a permanent position at American University.[3] While at the university, she was appointed to Chair of the American Psychological Association (APA) Promotion and Dissemination of Psychological Procedures task force.

In 2001, Chambless left UNC to accept a full professor position at the University of Pennsylvania.[3] While there, she published numerous articles of anxiety disorders such as Cognitive–behavioral therapy for adult anxiety disorders in clinical practice: A meta-analysis of effectiveness studies[8] and Adjunctive couple and family intervention for patients with anxiety disorders.[9] In 2010, she received the Aaron T. Beck Award for Sustained and Enduring Contributions to Cognitive Therapy[10] and later the Klaus-Grawe-Award for the Advancement of Innovative Research in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy.[11] A few years later, she was the recipient of the 2017 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Behavioral & Cognitive Therapies.[12]
