NEWS AND COMMENT.
The American Association of Clinical Psychologists was organized at Pittsburgh, on December 28, 1917. The membership includes men and women holding the doctorate in psychology, who are engaged in the clinical practice of psychology in the United States. The forty-five charter members are chiefly directors of clinics, of bureaus of child welfare, of institutional laboratories; engaged in army service as mental examiners of recruits; or connected with hospitals, courts and schools.
The objects of the Association are to promote an esprit de corps among psychologists who have entered the practical field, to provide media for the communication of ideas, to aid in establishing definite standards of professional fitness for the practice of psychology, and to encourage research in problems relating to mental hygiene and corrective education.
