Summary:

Psychology's evolution, from its consolidation as an independent science in the early 1900s to the rapid post-World War II expansion and proliferation of specialties, can be traced through the histories of regional associations in the US. This book brings together for the first time the histories of these organizations, presenting and analyzing a wealth of previously unavailable archival information. /// With a focus on the educational goals that these organizations promote for both newcomers to psychology and seasoned professionals, information on the founding, bylaws, meetings, programs, and membership comes alive in the context of trends and transformations in American psychology. These histories not only chart past progress but provide a unique perspective for understanding the issues that unify and divide psychology today.
