Western Psychological Association Welcome to the EIGHTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL CONVENTION of the WESTERN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION APRIL 10-13, 2008 at the Hyatt Regency Irvine, California The 88th meeting of the Western Psychological Association has: k The WPA Film Festival k Outstanding Invited Speakers k Special Programs for Students and Teachers k A Forum for Your Research Visit WPA on the World Wide Web at: www.westernpsych.org HOSTED BY 1 On behalf of California State University San Marcos, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 88th annual convention of the Western Psychological Association. For their efforts in organizing this conference, the University and the Department of Psychology extend sincere thanks to WPA President Peter Bentler and CSUSM Professors Sharon Hamill and Elisa Grant-Vallone. This conference features many of today’s leading clinicians, researchers and theorists in psychology, and we are pleased to play a part in it. CSUSM is one of the five fastest growing universities in the 23-campus CSU system. Since our founding in 1989, our student enrollment has grown to more than 9,000 students–a 16% increase in just the past year. By 2020, we are projected to grow to 20,000. Built from the ground up, our well-planned, architecturally stunning campus is fully wireless and our faculty employ the latest teaching technologies to challenge and engage today’s tech-savvy students. Located only miles from San Diego and Los Angeles, our 304-acre campus is nestled in the foothills of San Marcos, just a short drive from some of Southern California’s best beaches and an hour from the U.S./Mexico border. CSUSM’s Psychology Department is comprised of thirteen tenure-track faculty, offering undergraduate and graduate education. Active collaboration with students is an important feature of the department’s scholarship and pedagogical practice. Students are immersed in the psychological laboratory, including on-campus research environments and field research sites in the local community (hospitals, clinics, educational settings, community service organizations, business and industry, and zoological parks). As members of WPA, who are here to enhance and support the processes of research and scholarship in the behavioral sciences, I wish each of you a productive and successful conference. Sincerely, Karen S. Haynes, Ph.D. President 2 The mission of the Psychology Department at California State University San Marcos is to provide excellence in undergraduate and graduate education in the science of psychology. There are currently 580 undergraduate psychology majors and 21 students in our masters program. Our degree programs emphasize psychology as an empirical science and the de- velopment of skills that include written and oral communication, computer literacy, quantitative and qualitative research methods, critical analysis of complex problems, knowl- edge of human and non-human animal behavior and increased self-understanding. We believe that multicultural perspectives are integral to the study of human behavior. The Psychology faculty are active scholars from diverse areas of training and specialization. We are a dedicated group of instructors who seek to make the educational experience rich and meaningful. We offer a challenging and high quality curriculum that provides an ex- cellent background in psychological theory, research and application. Active collaboration with students is an important feature of our scholarship and pedagogical practice. Field experiences also forge strong ties between the Psychology Department and the region, and serve our mission for student community involvement. Our Master of Arts program in General Experimental Psychology provides graduate educa- tion of the highest caliber to qualified students. Our objective is to prepare students for continued study at the doctoral level; for a variety of positions in the public sector, busi- ness, or industry; or for academic careers at the two-year college level. It is our belief that excellent graduate education is best accomplished in an atmosphere in which graduate students are treated collegially, and are closely mentored by the faculty. The research training that students receive in our program leave them well prepared for doctoral study (of those who have completed our program and applied for further study at the doctoral level, over 90% have been accepted!). Students also receive training in pedagogy so that community college teaching is also an option.

In addition, USC enrolls more international students than any other U.S. university. Several mem- bers of the College’s Psychology Department are devoted to cross-national research in Korea, China, Rwanda, Finland, Sweden and Mexico, as well as multicultural research within the U.S.

  • History of the Association of Medical School Psychologists (AMSP), 1982–2005
    Journal of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings, Vol. 12, No. 3, September 2005 ( C 2005) DOI: 10.1007/s10880-005-5742-7 History of the Association of Medical School Psychologists (AMSP), 1982–2005 Reuben J. Silver, 1 John E. Carr, 2,4 and Gerald Leventhal 3 This paper presents a brief history of the Association of Medical School Psychologists (AMSP) from the Association’s beginning in 1982 to the present day. Prior to 1982, there had been sev- eral unsuccessful efforts to form an association that would represent psychologists in academic medical centers. Attempts by psychiatry to limit the growing number and influence of psychol- ogists in medical schools created a sense of threat among psychologists that catalyzed the for- mation of the Association. Membership was initially restricted to one senior psychologist from each medical school, a restriction that limited AMSP’s development, but AMSP later opened its doors to all academic medical center psychologists. The Association was rebuffed in initial efforts to join the Association of American Medical Colleges, and at a later date, to become a Division of the American Psychological Association (APA). In time, however, AMSP did es- tablish formal ties to both of those organizations, and it has collaborated with APAin important surveys of academic medical center psychologists. Following a period in the late 1990’s when AMSP seemed likely to lose its way, the Association rebounded. AMSP now has an Adminis- trative Director, a stable home base, and revised bylaws that assure greater stability and con- tinuity of leadership. These developments, in conjunction with a strong working relationship with the Journal of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings , have positioned AMSP to grow and more effectively serve the community of psychologists who work in academic medical centers.

    PSYCHOLOGY IN A MEDICAL SCHOOL: A PERSONAL ACCOUNT OF A DEPARTMENT'S 35-YEAR HISTORY JOSEPH D. MATARAZZO Oregon Health SciencesUniversity In 1911John Broadus Watson and ShepardIvory Franz proposed that the teachingof psychologywas as essentialto the education of medical students as were anatomy, pharmacology, surgery, and the other basic and clinical sciences.Today, our country's 126medical schoolseach employ an average of some 35 full-time faculty psychologists; 6 have establishedfull-fledged departmentsof psychologythat are comparable(administratively) to depart- ments that include faculty from the more traditional basic and clinical sciences.Thirty-five years ago (in 1957)the University of Oregon Medical School was the first medical school to create a department of Medical Psychology. The present writer was hired that year to chair that newly establisheddepartment and has servedcontinuously in that capacity since then. This Presidential Address to the AP A Division of the History of Psychologyoffers the writer's personalperspective on the history and develop- ment of that department during its first 35 years of existence.

  • 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.
