Other Important Articles
Ludy T. Benjamin, Jr. has written an excellent history of Division 14 and SIOP and a history of the days before Division 14 and SIOP.
James L. Farr wrote an article in TIP on the creation of Division 14 (Farr (1997) Division 14 Creation and Early History) and Fred Wickert reminisced about the American Association for Applied Psychology’s reunification with APA in 1946 (Wickert (1997) reminiscences of 1946).
An undated report by Harold Burtt, Leonard Ferguson, and Douglas Freyer, later published in the January 1997 issue of TIP, covers the early history of the predecessor to Division 14 (Burtt Ferguson & Fryer (nd) Report on Early History of Division 14 from January 1997 TIP).
