ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am most grateful to my advisor and dissertation chair, Dr. Deborah J. Coon, for her continued mentorship, support, guidance, encouragement, and friendship over the years. The degree of detailed, thoughtful, exhaustive, and critical feedback she provided me throughout her leave of absence made it seem as if she had never been gone. I owe this project to her. I also thank Dr. William R. Woodward for his unwavering encouragement and faith in me over the years. My learning how to do historical research as well as expanding my knowledge of the literature, the leading figures, the organizations, the journals, and the list-servers in the history of psychology are due entirely to Deb and Bill’s wonderful professionalization efforts. They have truly made me feel like a junior colleague. I am also grateful to my other committee members, Drs. Peter S. Femald, Benjamin Harris, and John J. Cerullo. All three were actively interested in my project and were helpful by way of encouragement, leads, suggestions, hard to find articles, stimulating lunches, and comments on the manuscript. I have benefited from having all three of them on my committee. I want to thank my husband, Vassilios Karapanos, for his unconditional love and limitless patience. He helped me through many frantic times by enduring anxious teary moments and writer’s blocks, taking days off from work, staying up late with me, driving, printing, mailing, editing, double-checking, and other sundry tasks. I am fortunate to be with him. V Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. I wish to acknowledge other individuals who were helpful to me throughout this project: Dr. Wade E. Pickren, for his stimulating conversations and suggestions throughout the project and for pointing out pertinent individuals, repositories, and available funding; Dr. Randolph C. Grace, for his boundless encouragement and faith in me; Phyllis W. Wentworth, for her unwavering support and reassurance; my cohort, Drs. Anne E. Cook, Michael Mangan, and Le’Ann Milinder, for being there all these years. I finally want to thank my parents, sister, and grandmother, for their infinite love, support, and faith in me. I am indebted to the members of the Reference Desk and the Interlibrary Loan Department at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) for their good humor and for procuring me with countless “obscure” articles and books over the past few years. I am indebted as well to the following archives for providing me with relevant material without which I would not have been able to write this project and for granting me permission to quote from it: the American Psychiatric Association Archives (Washington, D.C.), the Archives of the History of American Psychology (Akron, OH), the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress (Washington, D.C.), the Manuscripts and Archives Division of the Yale University Sterling Memorial Library (New Haven, CT), the National Archives and Records Administration II (College Park, MD), the National Library of Medicine (Bethesda, MD), and the Special Collections and University Archives Department of the Stanford University Green Library (Stanford, CA). vi Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

  • 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).

Each of these candidates was invited to submit a 500 word statement of how s/he felt about the integration of psychology and the importance of unity within psychology. The candidates were asked how they would encourage unity as president of APA. This statement could include comments on the importance of a general psychology, if desired. Division One does not support any one candidate for APA President, but the Executive Committee is inter- ested in who is running and in how they feel about the unity of psychology. Our division leadership feels that it is very important for the division members to vote in this election and that each member consider the goals of the division in casting his or her vote.

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.

Her father Dappears to be having an extramarital affair with his friend’s wife. Dora’s problems are with her father’s friend, Mr. K. Mr. K always seemed attracted to Dora. Starting when she was 7, Mr. K grabbed every opportunity he could to take her on long, unchaper- oned walks and buy her expensive gifts. As Dora got older, she became more and more uncomfortable with his attentions, but she didn’t fully understand why until she was 14. Mr. K invited her to watch a festival from his office window, and when she arrived, she was surprised to find him alone. He kissed her deeply, and as he pulled her close to him- self, she felt his erection. It was at this point in time that Dora started to develop what her family referred to as “symptoms.” These symptoms worsened over time as Mr. K’s pursuit of her intensified.

Additionally, my altruistic values provide me with a strong sense of duty to do the right thing at the same time that I believe it is my responsibility to help others, especially because I have been afforded the luxury of a college education although many others do not share this privilege. Under those circumstances, I wanted to speak on the issue of inequal representation of diverse identities, with special attention to the branches of science which historically refused to give due credit to individuals other than straight, white men.
