The day dawned bright and beautiful over nearly all of the continental United States. It was the type of bright, blue, late summer day that called to mind crooner Neil Diamonds’ hit song of years ago, September Morn. But before the morning of September 11 could really get underway, one era ended and a new […]
The bully can, in one thoughtless moment, smash the sand castle that a child took hours to build. A vandal can deface a statue in an instant that an artist took years to create. Terrorists can destroy buildings in a moment that took years to erect, or end lives that took generations to nourish. Evil […]
If your pocketbook forces you to challenge the pricey tab on an oceanfront condo or the 20% gratuity on your bar bill irritates you, forget Palm Beach, FL as a playground. Or, if you are harried about managed care and the chaotic state of healthcare, you don’t belong there either. But Florence Kaslow, Ph.D. does […]
In the recent war over prescription privileges in New Mexico, David nearly slew Goliath when the New Mexico Psychological Assn. narrowly missed overpowering the combined medical and psychiatric forces in internecine warfare at the State House. Fiscal force prevailed, winning the day for psychiatrists when the clock ran out on psychology’s efforts. Now, a new […]
‘Have Ph.D.’ but cannot practice psychology Washington–It’s the morning after graduation.

Their influx during the past decade has transformed the […]
From all appearances, the presentation of a new report on mental illness by Surgeon General David Satcher, M.D., Ph.D., at the APA convention in San Francisco in late August was a smashing success, reminding America about its neglected masses craving for help. But now come the details. Satcher’s tenure as surgeon general will soon end–in […]
The “Dr.Laura” controversy that caused the American Psychological Association (APA) serious embarrassment two years ago, is turning into an on-going soap opera that has lately threatened to divide the association into warring camps. The latest chapter was being written this spring when a once-accepted, then rejected, and finally re-accepted article by Scott Lilienfeld, Ph.D., an […]
The July/August 2001, 10-year anniversary issue of The National Psychologist features a 16-page retrospective of events covered in all 57 issues, 1,712 pages of the newspaper since its inception.
