· The Training of the Clinical Psychologist [1942]

The problem of the professional training of the psychologist (Shakow, 1938) has recently come to the surface with a rush of volcanic proportions after an extended period of underground rumbling .I One of the earlier signs of expressed interest was the organization of the American Association for Applied Psychology. More recent indications are to be found in the pronouncements of various leaders in psychology: English (I94I) in his Presidential Address to the American Association for Applied Psychology in September, 1940, Hunter (1941) in his Presidential Address to the Eastern Psychological Association in April, 1941, and Yerkes (I94I) in his address to the American Philosophical Society in April, 1941. Additional evidence is provided by the announcements which come from all directions of the establishment of internship training programs.
