Abstract: | Responds to H. E. Rie's (see record 1977-30159-001) article, which was a plea for academicians to join with practitioners in the state psychological associations to develop a systematic program of mental health. Rie's suggestion that academic-research psychologists should stop publishing is disputed. The American Psychological Association's increasing focus on the needs of practitioners has made it more irrelevant to the needs of academic psychologists.
