Psychologists on the March argues that the Second World War had a
profound impact on the modern psychological profession in America.
Before the war, psychology was viewed largely as an academic
discipline, drawing its ideology and personnel from the laboratory.
Following the war, it was increasingly seen as a source of theory
and practice to deal with mental health issues. With the support of
the federal government, the field entered a prolonged period of
exponential growth that saw major changes in the institutional
structure of the field that spread to include the epistemological
foundations of psychology. This book is the first sustained study
of this important era in American psychology. Moving back and forth
between collective and individual levels of analysis, it weaves
together the internal politics and demography of psychology in
relation to the cultural environment. It is based on extensive
archival research and includes extended discussions of the wartime
reformation of the American Psychological Association, the role of
gender politics, the rise of reflexivity, and the popularization of
psychology, among other topics.
