| Summary |
"In this book, we have gathered together the perceptions of distinguished scholars in applied psychology about the field's history and its relevance to contemporary practice. The five chapters are derived from the Master Lecture Series presented during the 1992 APA Centennial Convention in Washington, DC. In each lecture, the task of the presenter was to discuss historical aspects of an applied psychology field and to draw contemporary relevance from its history"--Preface.
