This book consists of five chapters derived from the Master Lecture Series presented during the Centennial Convention of the American Psychological Association in Washington, DC, in 1992. 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' (from the Preface by Thomas K.
