  • 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.

With the exception of a flash memory here and there (e.g., falling off a swing at age 4; taking an interminably long vacation trip by car to Michigan) I really don’t recall much of what I did before high school. About age 14, I began to work on myself in various domains over extended periods of time. Chief among these quests was basketball. Enormous blocks of time were devoted to my dream of “someday ruling the NBA.” By college, in the late 1960s, basketball would have been relegated to a “Hobby” on my resume. Anyway, the “George, the NBA superstar” dream was joined by: “George, the math enthusiast;” “George, the saint;” “George, the world’s greatest pal;” “George, the girl’s-man;” “George the hard worker;” “George, the dyslexic;” and so forth. In its own time, each dream was written in my mind (as one might pen a novel) and “tried on” in my life.
