    This special 25th anniversary edition describes the unique challenges and triumphs that have marked the APA amp rsquo s early years in the twenty-first century. (Midwest Book Review)

    This volume, first published as part of the American Psychological Association amp rsquo s centennial celebration in 992 and updated today for the APA amp rsquo s 25th anniversary, demonstrates how the Association has evolved over the years in response to intellectual, cultural, political, economic, and other historical developments.  Chapters describe the personalities and events that transformed the APA from a tiny organization of 2 members to one of the largest professional associations in the world.  Key topics include the changing role of women in the APA, and the organization amp rsquo s considerable contributions to social change. From its origins in the late nineteenth century, through the two World Wars and a major reorganization, to the social and cultural turbulence of the 9 s and the economic uncertainties of the 97 s and 98 s, the APA amp rsquo s development has mirrored the growth of psychology as a discipline in the United States.

    This special 25th anniversary edition describes the unique challenges and triumphs that have marked the APA amp rsquo s early years in the twenty-first century.
