The “Two Cultures” in Clinical Psychology: Constructing Disciplinary Divides in the Management of Mental Retardation
The “Two Cultures” in Clinical Psychology: Constructing Disciplinary Divides in the Management of Mental Retardation Andrew J. Hogan Creighton University Isis, Vol. 109, no. 4 (2018): 695-719 In a 1984 article, psychologist Gregory Kimble lamented what he saw as the two distinct cultures of his discipline. Writing in American Psychologist, a prominent professional journal, he noted, “In psychology, these conflicting cultures [scientific and humanistic] exist within a single field, and those who hold opposing values are currently engaged in a bitter family feud.” 1 In making his argument, Kimble explicitly drew upon British scientist and novelist C.P. Snow’s 1959 lecture The Two Cultures, in which Snow expressed concern about a lack of intellectual engagement between scientists and humanists, and about the dominant position of the humanities in British education and culture. Kimble used Snow’s critique to help make sense of what he perceived to be a similar polarizing divide between “scientific” and “humanistic” psychologists. 2 As Kimble described it, humanistic psychologists differed form their scientific colleagues in placing their ambitions to enact certain social policies and to promote particular social values- based ideologies ahead of the need for the scientific validation of these approaches. Kimble demonstrated his purported two cultures divide in psychology using survey data he collected from 164 American Psychological Association (APA) members. Each was part of either APA Division 3 (Experimental Psychology) or one of three other Divisions, which represented special interest groups within the psychology field. His results, illustrated on a spectrum from scientific to humanistic orientation, showed a purported divide between experimental psychologists on the scientific side, and their humanistic colleagues in the other three Divisions (See Figures 1,2). -

Most broadly, the papers and critiques are concerned with how psychology could beused to improve: (1) socialization;(2) curriculum development; (3) teaching; and (4) guidance. Some attention is also given to the total functioning of schools, especially organizational change and the community base. Papers deal variously with:(1) an interactional view of learning wnich weds Dewey and Piaget; (2) the new view intelligence as a gradually accumulated fund of skills i, -tion with social experience;(3) the role of school psycholoy'qf 4S teacher advisers; (4) current brain research and its relaLlonship to the problems of education; and (5) the lack of a productive theory of change process. A dissatisfaction with the current schooling process pervades the proceedings. Alternatives and innovations are suggested. -

APA Division 5: Quantitative & Qualitative Methods
The Score Newsletter of APA Division 5: Quantitative and Qualitative Methods October 2015 Report of the August Meeting of APA Council by Susana Urbina and William Revelle Division 5 Representatives to COR Issues Related to the Report to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the American Psychological Association: Independent Review Relating to APA Ethics Guidelines, Susana Urbina National Security Interrogations, and Torture HE PRIMARY ITEM of business for the COR was to discuss and deal with the T542-page report by David Hoffman and his colleagues at the Chicago law firm Sidley Austin LLP. The entire report and supplementary material is available at http://www. apa.org/independent-review/, as is a revised version and errata sheet submitted by Mr. Hoffman on September 4, 2015. The first 72 pages of the document contain the executive summary of the report. As most members of Division 5 know by now, the IR reviewed actions taken by the senior staff and leadership of APA, in collusion with members of the Department of De- fense (DOD), during the first half of 2005. These actions resulted in the issuance of loose, high-level ethical guidelines that: 1. Permitted military psychologists to participate in detainee interrogations, and 2. Did not constrain the application of existing DOD guidelines which allowed the William Revelle use of techniques that would be construed as torture under the UN Convention Against Torture.

DIVISION OF ADULT DEVELOPMENT AND AGING A Division of the American Psychological Association PAST PERSPECTIVES 2 THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIVISION 20 by Betty Ann Birren and Liz Stine-Morrow (August, 1996) The American Psychological Association as we know it today, structured as a collection of special interest divisions, was formed in 1945 at the end of WWII. It contained 19 charter divisions. Division 20, which turned out to be the first expansion division of APA, was the inspiration of Sidney Pressey. In July 1945, he asked eight psychologists whether they thought that an APA division dealing with aging would be "desirable." They agreed that it would, and sent a petition to almost 600 APA members whom they thought might also be interested. This group (Pressey, Conrad, Lorge, Lehman, Lawton, Buhler, Kuhlen, Miles, and Wechsler) also published a statement about a potential new division on adulthood and old age in the Psychological Bulletin. -
