One of the biggest problems to confront Division 1 is the definition implicit in its name. All too often, "general" psychology is interpreted to mean "psychology in general" or, more colloquially, "any old thing". It is important, therefore, to clarify the definition and explicate the goals of the Division in order to elucidate the role of theory and philosophy in our activities. Division 1, its officers and executive committee have stressed the need for constructive integration in the field. One specific initiative we have taken as a division is the establishment of The William James Award in General Psychology—an award for a published paper or book which best illustrates the type of integration towards which we are working. With some of the pragmatism of William James, we continue to try to work through the theoretical and philosophical diversity to try to find some fundamental unity and to increase communication among all of us.

This letter informs that the APA Division of Industrial Psychology (Division 14) appointed an ad hoc committee in 1962 to review the movement to establish a large-scale program for testing college students who might be seeking positions in industry. There has been an increasing interest shown in this by many organizations, and one attempt has been made to establish such a program by the National Industrial Conference Board, Inc. The Executive Committee of Division 14 has voted to accept and endorse the Statement of Principles devised by this committee. It has also voted to circulate the Statement of Principles to certain organizations who have shown interest in developing such a program, including the Psychological Corporation, the Educational Testing Service, Science Research Associates, Inc., College Placement Council, Inc., and Careers, Inc. The Statement of Principles and further considerations are outlined. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

As is true for most small divisions, membership in PIRI overlaps with membership in all other APA divisions. Thus, our members include hardcore experimentalists teaching in Christian colleges, social psychologists focusing on research in the psychology of religion, pastoral counselors, transpersonal psychologists, religiously-committed psychologists attempting to integrate psychology and theology, and numerous others. Our roots lie in the American Catholic Psychological Association; our branches point to religion in all its forms. Our common commitment is to the assertion that religion is a critical psychological variable. Examples are given of our theoretical and philosophical interests, including (1) Philosophy of Science; (2) Anthropologies/Theories of Human Nature; (3) Spiritual or Religious Development; (4) Psychology, Politics, and Ethics; (5) Religion as a Significant Psychological Variable; and (6) Critique of Psychological Theories.

The Visiting Psychologist Program, sponsored by the APA and supported by the National Institute of Mental Health, has two major goals: (a) to provide information on recent developments in the field to psychologists in service settings, and (b) to provide opportunities to visit and learn about field centers for psychologists with significant training, service, and research responsibilities. The specific goals of the program are to disseminate up-to-date knowledge of recent research findings and to demonstrate innovations in psychological procedures and techniques. This program is discussed in further detail in this article. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

During the past decade APA has arranged for 3 types of coverage: Income Protection Insurance, Major Medical Insurance, and Professional Liability Insurance. Significant changes in the first 2 programs involve (a) a reduction in certain rates for income protection coverage, (b) inclusion of outpatient psychotherapy under the Major Medical Program, and (c) reimbursement for services rendered by qualified psychologists without requiring prior medical referral or examination. An APA Insurance Trust has been established with responsibility for maintenance and revision of existing insurance programs and for negotiating new insurance agreements on behalf of members of APA.

Reports an error in "The specialty of neuropsychology" by Anne L. Hess and Robert P. Hart (Neuropsychology, 1990[Jan], Vol 4[1], 49-52). This article does not represent an attempt by the Division 40 Committee on Professional Affairs to define the specialty of clinical neuropsychology, and was not prepared at the request of the Division 40 Committee on Professional Affairs of the American Psychological Association. The publisher extends its apologies for any confusion this may have caused. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 1991-13156-001.) Presents an attempt by the Division 40 Committee on Professional Affairs of the American Psychological Association to define the specialty of clinical neuropsychology. The specialty should be defined for psychologists and consumers of psychological services (e.g., government agencies, insurance companies) so that all concerned can have a clearer sense of expectations of qualifications and standards of practice for this field.

Comment regarding the need for the creation of an APA Division of Psychotherapy. It is my feeling that the interests of psychotherapeutically oriented psychologists are not being adequately met at present. I would like to suggest that it might be appropriate for us, at the present time or in the near future, to organize an APA Division of Psychotherapy.

Objective: To determine the preparedness of rehabilitation psychologists to work with people with disabilities with primary or secondary substance-related problems by examining their education, training, and current practice. Design: Mail survey. Participants: 76 (47 men, 29 women) Division 22 members of the American Psychological Association. Results: Although 79% of respondents reported treating individuals with alcohol and other drug issues, over half rated their training in substance abuse treatment as inadequate. Referring to self-help groups and instilling cognitive-behavioral coping skills were common treatments. Participants reported a lack of preparation in substance abuse training in their graduate program coursework, practicum, and internship. Conclusion: Continuing education and changes to curriculum requirements, with linkage to existing certification bodies, should be considered to close the gap between training and practice.

Discusses the matter of a printed card which was recently mailed by the President of the group calling themselves Psychologists in Private Practice. The purpose of this card was to indicate to the members of APA Division 13 the nominees for office proposed by the President of the Psychologists in Private Practice. The author takes issue, not with the choice of people, but with the procedure. It is argued that the mailing of such material can only have a deleterious effect on Division 13 and the APA. The author considers this a further indication of the ongoing efforts of the PPP group which are designed to enable them to assume control of Division 13.

The Visiting Psychologist Program, under the sponsorship of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), has completed its fourth year of operation. The program has been receiving over 100 inquiries and applications from agencies wishing to have a visitor, and interest in serving as a visitor continues to be very strong as indicated by the large number of applications and inquiries received from a broad spectrum of psychologists. This year, 42 agencies were visited, of which 29 were newly selected agencies, while 13 were return visits to agencies previously visited. The agencies and visitors are listed in Table 1 (initial visits) and Table 2 (return visits). (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献
