  • 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.

    Report of the Psychology Project Team: Establishment of a National Psychology Placement Office Report of the National Psychology Project Team: Establishment of a National Psychology Placement Office and Workforce Planning 15 January 2021 1 Report of the Psychology Project Team: Establishment of a National Psychology Placement Office Foreword Following a review of Eligibility Criteria for staff and senior grade psychologists in 2016, an Implementation Group was established to implement the revised standards. The Implementation Group recommended the establishment of a National Psychology Placement Office. Inter alia an action from the Department of Health, to prepare a workforce plan for psychological services in the HSE, including an examination of the framework for training psychologists for the health service and the type and skill-mix required for the future, was required, HSE Community Operations convened a Project Team to progress the recommendation of the Implementation Group and to make a contribution to a workforce plan for psychological services provided for, and funded by, the HSE. The Project Team that developed this Report included representation from Clinical, Counselling and Educational Psychology; Social Care, Disability, and Mental Health services; Community and Acute services, Operational and Strategic HR, and the Health and Social Care Professions office. The work of the Project Team was also informed by a stakeholder consultation process. Cross-sectoral and stakeholder involvement reflects the intent to ensure all relevant stakeholders continue to feed into the management of student placements and workforce planning into the future. It is anticipated that the governance and oversight structures to be established under the placement office will embody stakeholder collaboration and engagement.

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.

Since then he has taught vir- tually every course in the psychology curriculum in his academic odys- sey from the University of Redlands in Redlands, California, and the now-closed Teikyo Marycrest University (formerly Marycrest College in Davenport, Iowa) to—for the past 17 years—Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa, alma mater of Bruce Jenner and, more famously for the history of psychology, of Noble H. Kelly (1901–1997), eminent con- tributor to psychology’s infrastructure through his many years of ser- vice to the American Board of Examiners in Professional Psychology. Dr. Devonis has been a member of Cheiron: The International Society for the History of Behavioral and Social Sciences since 1990, a con- tributor to many of its activities, and its treasurer for the past 10 years.

  • Nationalism, Ethnic Conflict, and Class Struggle: a Critical Analysis of Mainstream and Marxist Theories of Nationalism and National Movements
    NATIONALISM, ETHNIC CONFLICT, AND CLASS STRUGGLE: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF MAINSTREAM AND MARXIST THEORIES OF NATIONALISM AND NATIONAL MOVEMENTS Berch Berberoglu Department of Sociology University of Nevada, Reno Introduction The resurgence of nationalism and ethnonationalist con ict in the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union and its associated Eastern European states in their transition from a form of socialism to a market- oriented direction led by bourgeois forces allied with world capitalism during the decade of the 1990s, has prompted a new round of discus- sion and debate on the origins and development of nationalism and the nation-state that has implications for contemporary nationalism and nationalist movements in the world today. This discussion and debate has been framed within the context of classical and contemporary social theory addressing the nature and role of the state and nation, as well as class and ethnicity, in an attempt to understand the relationship between these phenomena as part of an analysis of the development and transformation of society and social relations in the late twentieth century. This paper provides a critical analysis of classical and contemporary mainstream and Marxist theories of the nation, nationalism, and eth- nic con ict. After an examination of select classical bourgeois statements on the nature of the nation and nationalism, I provide a critique of contemporary bourgeois and neo-Marxist formulations and adopt a class analysis approach informed by historical materialism to explain the class nature and dynamics of nationalism and ethnonational con ict. Critical Sociology 26,3 206 berch berberoglu Mainstream Theories of the Nation and Nationalism Conventional social theories on the nature and sources of national- ism and ethnic con ict cover a time span encompassing classical to con- temporary statements that provide a conservative perspective to the analysis of ethnonational phenomena that have taken center stage in the late twentieth century.

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.
