Abstract
In 1929, as president of the Ninth International Congress of Psychology, Cattell looked over the field and announced that: A history of psychology in America in the last fifty years would be as short as a book on snakes in Ireland since the time of St. Patrick. The organization of the American Association for Applied Psychology represented a new landmark for the field of applied psychology. In the postwar period the APA was recognized as a kind of federation of 18 divisions and, with this reorganization, the AAP was swallowed up. In 1947 the American Board of Examiners in Professional Psychology was incorporated. The Board was authorized to award diplomas to advanced students in three areas: clinical psychology, counseling psychology, and industrial psychology. In the Boulder Conference, clinical psychology is described as being more client oriented than is industrial.
