Abstract

Events in the history of psychology in the United States are recounted with a focus on the domains of science, practice, and politics. After Jacklin, "Feminist Research and Psychology' (1987), three models of psychological science, (a) individual, (b) normal/abnormal, and (c) individual differences, are used to explicate the relative independence and divergent developmental courses of the three domains. Specifically, it is argued that adherence to a single paradigm within each domain has limited the integration of science, practice, and politics and has weakened psychology. It is suggested that the scientist-professional values of counseling psychologists can strengthen psychology s diversity and promote a needed integration of the discipline, the profession, and psychology's endeavors in behalf of the common good.
