Summary
"Psychology and the National Institute of Mental Health: A Historical Analysis of Science, Practice, and Policy provides a historical analysis of the reciprocal relationship of psychology and the NIMH. As a history, the book reveals important insights into the remarkable expansion of psychology since World War II and illuminates the role of government in shaping the lives and practices of its citizens through its funding of research, training, and service." "This volume serves as a resource for scholars interested in specialized histories about post-World War II psychology and goverment. It fills a significant gap in our understanding of the development of current psychological science and practice and links that development to the emergent relationship of psychology and government."--BOOK JACKET.
