Founding the Canadian Psychological Association: The perils of historiography.

Addresses the question of when and where the decision was made to form the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA). The purpose of this article is 3-fold: (1) to document the sequence of events that led to the decision to form the CPA, (2) to highlight some of the ambiguities contained in the literature regarding the beginnings of the association, and (3) to explain how and why these ambiguities may have arisen. This article illuminates a number of historiographical issues that may be of importance for those writing the history of Canadian psychology.

The code of ethics of the Canadian Psychological Association and the Canadian Medical Association: Ethical orientation and functional grammar analysis.

The Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychologists has been the subject of several recent investigations. This work has focused, for example, on the validity of its hierarchical organization of ethical principles. In the present research, we subjected the code to both a content and a functional grammar analysis. Our content analysis was aimed at determining the theoretical ethical orientation (deontological, teleological or caring) of each statement in the document, while the functional grammar analysis provided information about implicit messages embedded within the code. We contrasted the results of our analysis with those of previous work on the code of ethics adopted by the Canadian Medical Association (CMA). We concluded that, compared to CMA's code, the Canadian Psychological Association's document has greater educational value, is less authoritarian, provides a clear rationale for ethical behavior, and is more empowering to the decision-maker. We argue that the results of our functional grammar and content analyses have implications for future attempts to improve ethics codes for psychology and other professions.

Re: The Confederate Psychological Association.

Letter comments that the authors have had quite a few inquiries about the Confederate Psychological Association. The Confederate Psychological Association is not a regional organization; indeed most of the members live up north. Membership is open to every APA member who asks to join. The idea behind the CPA is that everyone has something they want to rebel against; so why not rebel in concert once a year? Thus, in 1956 and 1957, they have had a grand encampment which, curiously, coincided with the APA convention. They take one evening to cleanse themselves of the past year's frustrations by singing salty minnelieder accompanied by skirling Scottish bagpipers (or so it was in 19S7). In other words, they just have fun. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Outcasts in a white-lie society: The enigmatic worlds of people with negative self-conceptions.

Although people with negative self-views want to be liked at some level, they repeatedly enact behaviors that alienate their relationship partners. Why? One possibility is that such persons reside in social environments that offer them little insight into what they are doing wrong. Although persons who had negative self-views elicited unfavorable reactions, they did not appreciate this fact because their interaction partners concealed their aversion behind a facade of kind words. To be sure, the interaction partners of people with negative self-views tended to leak their disdain nonverbally. These negative nonverbal messages proved to be uninformative, however, because people with negative self-views overlooked them. These data imply that people with negative self-views may live in social worlds in which they are deprived of corrective feedback that could allow them to improve themselves.

The clinician's art, or why science is not enough.

The importance of a scientific basis for clinical activity receives principal emphasis in the prevailing conception of what it means to be a clinical psychologist. An analysis of the activity of the clinician, however, reveals that in addition to empirical considerations, such activity necessarily includes two forms of clinical art, namely, empirical construction and creative construction. The former subserves scientific efforts to explain the causes of clients' difficulties and how to treat them, whereas the latter subserves efforts to facilitate change in clients by helping them to construct new meanings about their difficulties. Although distinct, the two forms of construction share important interrelationships. That both forms of construction suffuse most clinical activity underscores the need for a more explicit emphasis on clinical art in the clinician's training and professional definition.

The Eastern Psychological Association: 1896-1960.

The Eastern Psychological Association is nearly as old as the American Psychological Association itself, both dating from the last decade of the 19th century. On April 27, 1896, a Section of Anthropology, Psychology, and Philosophy was organized as part of the New York Academy of Science. In 1930 the name was changed to the New York Branch of the American Psychological Association. Major issues, actions, and papers are indicated. The basic philosophy of the Eastern Psychological Association is discussed. A table indicates location of annual meetings, number registered, number of papers given, presidents, and similar data since 1930. From Psyc Abstracts 36:02:2AJ49L.
