Review of The history of the International Union of Psychological Science..

Reviews the book, The history of the International Union of Psychological Science by Mark R. Rosenzweig, Wayne W. Holtzman, Michel Sabourin, and David Belanger (2000). In 1997, the Executive Committee of the International Union of Psychological Science initiated a project to "trace the development of the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS), not only since its founding at the 14th International Congress of Psychology at Stockholm, 1951, but going back to 1881 when a young Polish psychologist first proposed the ideas of an international congress and of an international association of psychological societies" (p. xi). The authors have managed to include a great deal of information, and it must be said that the result occasionally resembles a book of lists (e.g., lists of who attended the various congresses, the percentage of attendees from each country, etc.). Read from cover to cover, the book provides a very useful compendium of the proceedings of IUPsyS and its predecessors. A very strong feature of this book is its many photographs. Throughout the book there are several very useful tables that provide lists of the members of the various congresses as well as the officers of the IUPsyS. While it is as much a reference book as a history, it is still a very useful and interesting reference book that should be in every university library.

Distinguished Scientific Award for the Applications of Psychology 1986: Martin T. Orne.

Martin T. Orne, the 1986 recipient of the Distinguished Scientific Award for the Applications of Psychology, was presented with a check for $2,000 and an engrossed citation of his contribution. Orne receives this award "for his efforts to integrate psychological theory and methods with the pragmatic concerns of psychotherapy, medicine, and law. Through his research he has helped practitioners to realize the potential benefits and limitations of hypnosis, lie detection, sleep, and biofeedback, and the roles played by specific and nonspecific factors in psychotherapy and behavioral medicine. His analysis of the social context of the experiment has elucidated the importance of demand characteristics in shaping experience and behavior, and helped alter the way in which both experimentalists and clinicians evaluate the reactions of subjects, clients, and patients. Psychologist, physician, scientist, clinician, editor, and expert witness, no one better exemplifies the theoretical and practical advantages of transcending disciplinary boundaries in the pursuit of our common goals."

Committee on the Practice of Clinical Psychology: A brief review of activities.

The first meeting of the new Committee on the Practice of Clinical Psychology (CPCP), held on October 22, 1962, served to clarify its mission and to develop ideas as to the critical issues in its area of responsibility. There was immediate agreement that, during its first year of operation in particular, the Committee should serve as a clearing house to assemble and organize information and to open channels of communication. Additionally, the Committee developed 23 areas of interest that seemed to warrant study and clarification. That the Committee has been effective in establishing channels of communication is attested by the fact that it has been in contact with 35 national, state, regional, and local groups, and some 60 individual psychologists have expressed views which also have been included in the Committee's deliberations. A 2-day meeting held April 12 and 13 resulted in a plan to direct attention to the following: (1) Standards of competence for clinical practice; (2) Clinical training aspects of the doctoral program as they relate to practice; (3) Postdoctoral training; (4) Training and competence for the practice of psychotherapy; (5) The place of psychological assessment techniques in clinical practice; (6) The content and conditions of institutional and private practice; (7) Involvement of clinical practitioners in training programs; (8) Local clinical groups and their relation to the growth of clinical practice; (9) Communication among practitioners and other psychologists; and (10) Evaluate whether a need exists for an APA journal for professional issues in practice and contribute ideas concerning the contents and nature of such a journal. CPCP also made plans to produce an initial report within 10 months on the training needs of the areas of clinical application and practice. It designated subcommittees to prepare initial reports for the August meeting on: (1) The Content and Conditions of Practice; (2) A Model of Competence for Clinical Practice; and (3) Problems of Postdoctoral Training. During the year, the Committee members were John J. Brownfain, Robert C. Challman, Seymour B. Sarason, Max Siegel, and Theodore H. Blau, Chairman. The Committee on the Practice of Clinical Psychology invites communications from all interested individuals and organizations. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
