Abstract
The term “scientist-professional” has been widely adopted as an identity prescription for “the psychologist”. This paper sketches out some aspects of the social historical background to this development, and critically examines the extent to which attempts to impose and maintain this identity prescription have been, and are likely to be, successful in furthering the ideals of rationality and disinterested service which the identity prescription appears to express.
