Scientist–practitioner Model
The scientist–practitioner model, also called the Boulder Model, is a training model for graduate programs that provide applied psychologists with a foundation in research and scientific practice. It was initially developed to guide clinical psychology graduate programs accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA). David Shakow created the first version of the model and introduced it to the academic community. From the years of 1941 until 1949, Shakow presented the model to a series of committees where the core tenets developed further. The model changed minimally from its original version because it was received extremely well at all of the conferences. At the Boulder Conference of 1949, this model of training for clinical graduate programs was proposed. Here, it received accreditation by the psychological community and the American Psychological Association. The goal of the scientist–practitioner model is to increase scientific growth within clinical psychol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Construction began in 1870 and the newly built Worcester State Hospital was completed in 1876 at the cost of well over a million dollars.

Soldz is director of the Social Justice and Human Rights program at the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis.

In November 2007, Soldz coauthored an article on psychological torture at Guantanamo Bay with Julian Assange, published via WikiLeaks.

United States Public Health Service
The United States Public Health Service (USPHS or PHS) is a collection of agencies of the Department of Health and Human Services which manages public health, containing nine out of the department's twelve operating divisions. The assistant secretary for health oversees the PHS. The Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (PHSCC) is the federal uniformed service of the PHS, and is one of the eight uniformed services of the United States. PHS had its origins in the system of marine hospitals that originated in 1798. In 1871, these were consolidated into the Marine Hospital Service, and shortly afterwards the position of Surgeon General and the PHSCC were established. As the system's scope grew to include quarantine authority and research, it was renamed the Public Health Service in 1912. A series of reorganizations in 1966–1973 began a shift where PHS' divisions were promoted into departmental operating agencies. PHS was established as a thin layer of hierarchy above ...

American Association For Applied Psychology
''For the American Association of Retired Persons, see AARP'' The American Association for Applied Psychology (AAAP) was founded in 1937 as a national organization for clinical, consulting, educational, and business/industrial psychologists. It lasted for only eight years, merging with the American Psychological Association in 1945. Although short-lived, it has been claimed that some of its work led to what is now the basis of certain models of training in the field. Origins Applied psychologists who were without PhDs or did not have academic affiliations were not, early in the 20th century, given full membership privileges at the scientifically oriented American Psychological Association (APA). The AAAP, by contrast, accepted these psychologists. It had grown from the New York Association of Consulting Psychologists (NYACP), established in 1921 through the efforts of Leta Hollingworth and others. A practitioner with a University of Pennsylvania PhD but no academic affiliation na ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

GI Bill
The G.I. Bill, formally the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, was a law that provided a range of benefits for some of the returning World War II veterans (commonly referred to as G.I.s). The original G.I. Bill expired in 1956, but the term "G.I. Bill" is still used to refer to programs created to assist American military veterans. It was largely designed and passed through Congress in 1944 in a bipartisan effort led by the American Legion, which wanted to reward practically all wartime veterans. John H. Stelle, a former Democratic governor of Illinois, served as the Chairman of the Legion's Executive Committee, which drafted and mobilized public opinion to get the G.I. Bill to President Roosevelt's desk on June 22, 1944. Stelle was rewarded for his efforts by the Legion which unanimously elected him its National Commander in 1945. He is commonly referred to as the "Father of the G.I. Bill." Since the First World War the Legion had been in the forefront of lobbying C ...
