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.
