Psychology of the Scientist: XVII. Research has a Place in Private Practice

Abstract

“How Does a Fee Dependent Psychologist Continue his Scientific and Professional Growth?” was the title of a symposium at a recent APA convention. The purpose of the present article is to illustrate how it was done in a period of 18 yr. from 1934–1952 by one psychologist. Facts concerning money, motivation, and productivity are presented here. Documentary evidence includes a description of the extent and nature of productivity by way of publications as well as a picture of growth as a business enterprise considered financially. This material is preceded by a presentation of data concerning productivity in the Industrial Division since 1927, in the Clinical Division since 1947, followed by a consideration of patterns of professional values and 10 suggestions for improving the situation.
