Building a mental hospital in apartheid South Africa.

In April 1962, a new mental hospital was inaugurated in Belville, a town near Cape Town, South Africa. Stikland Mental Hospital was planned as mental health care was changing with the introduction of psychotropic drugs and renewed debates about deinstitutionalization-and as the South African legislature formalized the system known as "apartheid." This article focuses on this hospital, which embodied many global ideas about treatment and management of the mentally ill but which also incorporated the local politics of strict racial segregation. It had been planned in response to overcrowded mental hospitals in the 1950s, but by the time it opened, new forms of treatment had produced a surplus of beds for White patients. Architecturally, the hospital was conceived with the general principles of the villa plan in mind, although utilitarian aspects, such as patient and staff numbers, gardens, and budgets, dominated the design of the buildings. The public relations exercises undertaken highlight the negotiations involved in building a mental hospital in 1960s South Africa, but the example of Stikland also showcases new plans for research and training in mental health professions in the 1960s and 1970s. Disciplines such as clinical psychology benefited from the professional training opportunities provided. Overall, Stikland Mental Hospital therefore provides an important perspective on deinstitutionalization outside its familiar settings and historical accounts.

From serendipity to clinical relevance: How clinical psychology and neuroscience converged to illuminate psychoneuroendocrinology.

Dirk Hellhammer and his colleagues have played a major role in creating the field of psychoneuroendocrinology from their roots in psychology. In this review, using examples from the history of the McEwen laboratory and neuroscience and neuroendocrinology colleagues, I summarize my own perspective as to how the fields of neuroscience and neuroendocrinology have contributed to psychoneuroendocrinology and how they converged with the contributions from Dirk Hellhammer and his colleagues.

Barbara Henker (1935-2017).

Presents an obituary for Barbara Henker, who died January 24, 2017, at the age of 81. Henker was professor emerita and a pioneering female faculty member in the Psychology Department at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

Henker also worked in the areas of health-related behaviors, attributional styles, cognitive-behavioral interventions, and early use of electronic diaries to monitor the behavior and emotions of youth and parents. A beloved teacher and mentor, she developed the psychological assessment practicum for graduate students at UCLA and taught the course for many years. Its blend of theory, critical analysis, and practical application was lauded by students, many of whom said it was the best course they had ever taken. (PsycINFO Database Record

Doctoral training in clinical psychology across 23 years: Continuity and change.

OBJECTIVE: Doctoral training in clinical psychology has undergone substantial changes in recent decades, especially with the increasing heterogeneity of training models and graduate students. To document these changes, we analyzed program, student, and faculty characteristics of American Psychological Association (APA)-accredited clinical psychology programs over a 23-year span. METHOD: We surveyed directors of clinical training about their doctoral programs every 2 years from 1991 to 2013, securing 90%-98% response rates. With minimal exceptions, the survey questions remained constant. RESULTS: Percentages of female and racial/ethnic minority students continued to grow, such that women now comprise about three quarters of trainees and ethnic minorities about one quarter. There has been a decisive shift in faculty theoretical orientation toward cognitive/cognitive-behavioral and away from psychodynamic/psychoanalytic. Internship match rates were relatively high and stable until the early 2010s but have recently rebounded. CONCLUSION: We discuss the limitations of these survey results and their implications for the future of doctoral training in clinical psychology.

Técnicas, saberes e práticas psicológicas na primeira república (1889-1930) / Técnicas, conocimientos y prácticas psicológicas en primera república (1889-1930) / Techniques, knowledge and psychological practices in first republic (1889-1930)

RESUMO. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as técnicas, saberes e práticas tidas como psicológicas no Rio de Janeiro da Primeira República (1889-1930). Nesse sentido, pautou-se por uma metodologia que priorizou o levantamento de fontes bibliográficas primárias (artigos, livros e relatórios técnicos de época). Constatou-se, como resultado da pesquisa empreendida, que ocorreram aproximações e convergências entre áreas da psicologia aplicada que, posteriormente, iriam ocupar institucionalmente espaços bem separados. Assim, verificou-se que a designação de dado saber, prática ou técnica configurada como "Psicologia" não foi sempre configurada em áreas de aplicação independentes. Nessa perspectiva, segue uma linha diversa de abordagens históricas que primam por setorizar práticas psicológicas, sendo a principal contribuição do artigo para o campo da história da psicologia justamente a de mostrar que uma eventual "História da Psicologia do Trabalho", no período investigado, não era absolutamente distinta de áreas, hoje classificadas, como as da "História da Psicologia Clínica", ou da "História da Psicologia Escolar".

RESUMEN. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la técnica, conocimientos y prácticas que se consideraron psicológicos en Río de Janeiro de la Primera República (1889-1930). En este sentido, se caracteriza por una metodología que prioriza el estudio de las Fuentes primarias de la literatura (artículos, libros e informes técnicos de la época). Se encontró como resultado de nuestra encuesta, que se realice aproximaciones y convergencias entre las áreas de la psicología aplicada que más tarde ocuparía espacios institucionalmente bien separados. Por lo tanto, se encontró que la designación dada a el conocimiento, a la práctica y a la técnica llamada de "Psicología" no siempre han sido configurados para áreas de aplicación independientes.En esa perspectiva, sigue una línea diversa de enfoques históricos que priman por sectorizar prácticas psicológicas, siendo la principal contribución del artículo al campo de la Historia de la Psicología justamente la de mostrar que una eventual "Historia de la Psicología del Trabajo", en el período investigado, no era absolutamente distinta de áreas, hoy clasificadas, como las de la "Historia de la Psicología Clínica", o de la "Historia de la Psicología Escolar".

ABSTRACT. This study analyzed the techniques, knowledge, and practice that are regarded as psychological in Rio de Janeiro in the First Brazilian Republic (1889-1930). This was marked by a methodology that prioritized the survey of primary literature sources (articles, books, and technical reports of the time). This option implied a systematic selection of themes for discursive analysis. Consequently, we found that there were approximations and convergences between areas of applied psychology that later would be occupied institutionally by well-separated spaces. Therefore, we considered that the designation given to psychological knowledge, practice, or technique was not always based in independent areas of application. From this perspective, it appears that there were several diverse attempts to classify psychological practices, not unlike the field of the History of Psychology that is researched today. The research demonstrated that there weren't areas such as the "History of Clinical Psychology" or the "History of School Psychology." in the period (1889-1930), but these themes were not entirely distinguished.

Laverne (Vern) C. Johnson (1925-2016).

Presents an obituary for Laverne (Vern) C. Johnson, who died at his home in La Mesa, California on October 1, 2016. Vern was a clinical psychologist who for two decades focused on a major program of research on sleep and biological rhythms, with particular emphasis on the relation of sleep loss and recovery to human performance, a matter of particular relevance to military service operations, in which variable work shift schedules and sustained performance over extended time periods are common. His publications attest to a core value he advanced throughout his career, namely, that scientific research at its best is a collaborative, team endeavor. (PsycINFO Database Record

Allan Urho Paivio (1925-2016).

Presents an obituary for Allan Urho Paivio, who passed away on June 19, 2016. One of his many accomplishments was the development of a dual-coding theory. Dual-coding theory, while very influential, has, unfortunately, been discussed all too often as a theory of mental imagery, and not within its larger context wherein mental imagery and verbal processes are separable but interconnected representational systems, an academic battle in clarification that Paivio waged much of his life. He published prodigiously, even in the decades after retirement. Among his many honors, he served as president of the Canadian Psychological Association (1975) and was appointed a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (1978). (PsycINFO Database Record

Colin D. Elliott (1937-2016).

This article memorializes Colin D. Elliott (1937-2016). For 7 years, in his work as a school psychologist, Elliott studied the ability profiles of children with learning disabilities and the measurement of children's developmental stages. Subsequently, he trained school psychologists for over 20 years at the University of Manchester. In 1983, he made a major, enduring contribution to the field of psychometric assessment in both his home country and the wider field with the publication of the innovative British Ability Scales (BAS). An American version, the Differential Ability Scales (DAS), followed in 1990, and both versions of the test have been widely used and revised several times (BAS 2, BAS 3, and DAS-II). Many of his innovations in those tests have been adopted in other instruments. His other research and many publications focused on individual differences in children's temperament and personality and specific learning difficulties. Elliott moved to the United States in 1992 and was adjunct professor at the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education at the University of California, Santa Barbara. (PsycINFO Database Record

Steven Reiss (1947-2016).

This article memorializes Steven Reiss (1947-2016), an eminent clinical psychologist. He was professor emeritus of psychology and psychiatry at the Ohio State University. Reiss has made major contributions to three areas of psychology. He formulated the concept of anxiety sensitivity, an individual difference variable signifying a person's proneness to respond fearfully to bodily sensations that accompany anxiety. He was the key developer of the Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI), a self-report measure of the fear of anxiety sensations translated into more than 20 languages. Reiss was a pioneer in the field of dual diagnosis-the study and treatment of mental disorders in people with intellectual disabilities. Reiss's third major field of inquiry was human motivation. For the past 20 years, he has been studying individual differences in motivational profiles. To measure individual differences in 16 basic desires, he developed the Reiss Motivation Profile.

Clinical Psychology Training: Accreditation and Beyond.

Beginning with efforts in the late 1940s to ensure that clinical psychologists were adequately trained to meet the mental health needs of the veterans of World War II, the accreditation of clinical psychologists has largely been the province of the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association. However, in 2008 the Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System began accrediting doctoral programs that adhere to the clinical science training model. This review discusses the goals of accreditation and the history of the accreditation of graduate programs in clinical psychology, and provides an overview of the evaluation procedures used by these two systems. Accreditation is viewed against the backdrop of the slow rate of progress in reducing the burden of mental illness and the changes in clinical psychology training that might help improve this situation. The review concludes with a set of five recommendations for improving accreditation.
