Modeling emergency interregional electric power transfer

This paper describes a combined model of the U.S. power system that is the first to allow for emergency interregional transmission of electricity. The Interregional Transfer Model (INTRAN) is used with the Baughman-Joskow Regionalized Electricity Model (REM) to simulate the transshipment of emergency interregional electric power exchanges. REM-INTRAN is a tool to assist policy makers concerned with the reliability and adequacy of the U.S. bulk power system. It is the only model available that provides regional detail of the electricity sector and emergency interregional power transfer capabilities. REM-INTRAN considers generation plant mix and monthly load characteristics on a regional basis, and the limiting transfer capacities and costs of emergency interregional power transfers.

The Involvement of the Psychologist's Family in the Establishment of a Public Image of the Profession.

Psychologists of late have been turning increasing attention to the problem of defining their profession (Amer. Psychologist, 1958, 13, 645-652; 1959, 14, 523-524) and outlining a public image (see record 2005-08103-001). The present writer applauds these efforts from the midst of the semantic battlefield upon which the psychologist's family finds itself when communicating with the public.

Toward More Public Relations.

The author informs that a note in the Comment section of the December 1953 issue of this journal described how the Eastern Psychological Association recorded much of the material that was presented at its 1953 meeting and broadcast part of it over an educational FM station. The author feels that any activity that brings to the public a true picture of what a psychologist is, and does, is a commendable activity, but all these activities should be properly evaluated.

The Public Health Psychologist: An Ounce of Prevention Is Not Enough.

An increasing number of health service providers in psychology are working in non-mental-health areas in behavioral health and in community health programs. Much of the psychological work in prevention, wellness, and health promotion has ignored the contributions of public health. This article describes a joint MPH/PhD program recently established on two campuses of the University of Alabama system. The value of the dual perspectives is illustrated.

Psychotropics, Consultation, and Psychology.

The status of psychology in national health insurance is clouded in the minds of some Washington planners because the independent practice of psychology is identified with fee-for-service payment mechanisms, active treatment is identified with drug therapy rather than psychotherapy, and planners are unfamiliar with the nature and the scope of the practice of psychologists. Also, some feel that psychology is not equivalent in practice to psychiatry because psychologists are not integrated into the medical community and because psychologists do not prescribe drugs. These criticisms seem unfounded, since physicians and psychologists have regular consultations and psychologists see many patients who have previously been treated with psychotropic medications. Further, clinical experience indicates frequent therapeutic success by reducing or discontinuing medication rather than placing patients on psychotropics. Accordingly, a questionnaire was sent to the 87 members of the Cleveland Academy of Consulting Psychologists (CACP), requesting information concerning the prescribing of psychotropics and records of interprofessional consultations. The results are provided here. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Psychology and manpower policy.

Outlines 5 contributions made by psychology to manpower policy: (1) the public has been encouraged to adopt a more humane attitude toward people who are ineffective; (2) the public has acquired a positive stance toward the amelioration of social and human ills, particularly through reliance on education, but also through other approaches including supportive services; (3) psychology's study of the distribution of human attributes has contributed substantially to the decline in discrimination toward women, Negroes, and others who were formerly beyond the pale; (4) psychology has led to more constructive views and behavior with regard to the rearing of children and development of young people; and (5) psychology has thrown a searchlight on the critical importance of work for individual and social integration.
