Abstract: | ![]() As the 20th century closes, it is natural to gauge the growth of the American Psychological Association and of the discipline of psychology during the past 100 years. Over the course of the century, psychology and APA have grown from a narrowly defined field and an organization with relatively few followers to a rich and diverse discipline with a professional organization having an international membership of nearly 160,000. For these members, APA continues to provide many products and services designed to assist them in their education, continuing education, and professional lives. The Central Office directorates and program's aim is to be relevant and useful to members, allied professionals, public policymakers, and the general public. In this annual report, a summary of the accomplishments of each directorate is given. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
