What We Need to Know About Intervention and Interventionists
I fervently hope that this special issue of the American Journal of Community Psychology will bring in its wake further publications about the processes by which interventions are conceptualized, become a possibility for concrete action, and inform the reader how that possibility became manifested in the arena of action. Not all intervention efforts reach the stage of realization in that arena; they are aborted for reasons we never know; their st…
The Obligations of the Moral–Scientific Stance
One of the most important contributions of community psychology is to have community interventions that have intended outcomes and to describe the intervention in ways that are sufficiently complete and replicable. However, the descriptions we have are too incomplete. A suggestion is made for how the field should take steps to remedy the weaknesses
American Psychology and Schools
No one denies that the Boulder Conference on Clinical Psychology marked a turning point on American psychology. This paper by one of the three or four living participants lists the conference as one in which psychology was at a choice point, went in one and only one direction, without examining the possible consequences or the possibility of going in more than 1 direction. A second theme is that the APA has to be faulted for a lack of searching s…

Revisiting the Creating of Settings
I begin by briefly indicating the personal experiences that stimulated me to write the book. I do so because I have come to believe that crucial to the creation of a setting is the range and substance of the leaders' personal and cognitive past experiences in and with complicated settings, and I would also include the length of time of past experience. The shorter the time span of past experience, the more difficult the process will appear, indep…
The Public Schools
In a 1973 paper in The American Psychologist, a case was made for why it would take many decades for Blacks to improve their performance on school achievement and other cognitive tests. The paper was in opposition to Jensen's conclusion which emphasized genetics. One important part of the argument was deliberately omitted in that paper. The present paper deals with that omission which concerns the fact that our schools violate what is known about…

American psychology, and the needs for transcendence and community
In this its centennial year the American Psychological Association has reason to take satisfaction from its past accomplishments. However, as psychologists we know that our view of our history has some self‐serving aspects. There have been some errors of commission and omission. In this paper one of those errors of omission is discussed: the significance of religion, especially of the fundamentalist variety, for understanding the modern psyche. T…

Inside Out
What does it mean to be ‘mentally retarded’? Professors Bogdan and Taylor have interviewed two experts, ‘Ed Murphy’ and ‘Pattie Burt,’ for answers. Ed and Pattie, former inmates of institutions for the retarded, tell us in their own words
An asocial psychology and a misdirected clinical psychology
The origins of modern clinical psychology cannot be understood independently of some long-standing, dominant characteristics of American psy-chology in general. One such characteristic is psychol-ogy's emphasis on the individual organism, an emphasis that ill prepared psychology in the post-World War II period for the public arena. One of the consequences for clinical psychology was that it became embroiled in the traditions of American medicine.…

Public policy and human service institutions
This paper discusses reasons for the apparent lack of interest by both the policy sciences and psychology in human service institutions and provides examples of the relationships between policy and politics and policy and economics in human service institutions. It suggests that two basic assumptions, labeled the professionalism myth and the individualism myth, have been major contributors to this state of affairs. Both the neglect given these in…

The effect of differential instructions on anxiety and learning
In this study, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) flat membrane was fabricated to remove the total ammonia from saline water by direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) at 50°C The effects of initial NH3 concentration from 0.03 to 0.47M, temperature from 30 to 50°C and salinity from 0 to 35ppt on ammonia-ammonium equilibrium, however, were initially investigated by using Law of Ostwald's Dissociation. The PVDF membranes were then fabricated from d…

S ummary . After a brief review of our previous work in the area under investigation, the results of two studies which bear upon the validity of the Test Anxiety Scale (TA) are reported. Both studies involved the 11+ examinations. In the first study, it was predicted that TA scores would increase as children moved closer in time to the 11+ examinations. In the second study it was predicted that there would be a small but statistically significant…

Anxiety in elementary school children
The author concludes, based on six years of intensive research, that how children perceive themselves in a testing situation affects their test performance, and that for many children the degree of anxiety aroused interferes with the maximum use of their potential.
