  • Healthy, Wealthy, and Weiss: a History of Division 38 (Health Psychology)
    HEALTHY, WEALTHY, AND WEISS: A HISTORY OF DIVISION 38 (HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY) Kenneth A. Wallston, Ph.D. Vanderbilt University Revised draft of a chapter submitted to Donald Dewsbury, editor of the series of Histories of APA Divisions, to be published by APA in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of divisions. For correspondence regarding this chapter, contact the author at: School of Nursing Vanderbilt University Nashville, TN 37240 (615) 343-3317 [email protected] History of Division 38 Revision 7/9/96 Since its inception, the discipline of psychology has been concerned with aspects of health. For example, a number of early figures in the field of psychology--e.g., Helmholtz, James, Wundt--were initially trained in medicine. However, the predominant focus in psychology up until recently has been on mental rather than physical health. In the years after World War II, a small, but increasing, number of psychologists began conducting research on phenomena other than strictly mental health concerns. Notable among this work was Neal Miller's pioneering research on the conditioning of physiological processes and the resulting flurry of interest in biofeedback. Another example is the development of the Health Belief Model by Godfrey Hochbaum, S. Stephen Kegeles, Howard Leventhal, and Irwin Rosenstock-- four psychologists in the U. S. Public Health Service who were trying to understand why people were not becoming vaccinated against tuberculosis. In addition, more and more psychologists were being employed by Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health, as well as the Veterans Administration and hospitals specialing in acute and rehabilitative medicine. These psychologists and their university-based colleagues, originally trained in clinical, counseling, experimental, or social psychology, applied their favorite theories and methods to phenomena that had as much to do with the physical as the mental aspects of health and illness, including the interaction between the brain and the body.
