Academic and Historical Perspectives in Psychology History of Science and Medicine Psychological Testing and Assessment

Abstract

Memorializes Joseph D. Matarazzo (1925-2025). Matarazzo taught at Washington University School of Medicine (1952-1955) and Harvard Medical School (1955-1957). He was then recruited to establish the first administratively autonomous department of medical psychology in the United States at the University of Oregon Medical School. As a scientist and practitioner, he was a major contributor to the advancement of psychological assessment as an art based on science, emphasizing the clinical history as equal to or more important than test results. Committed to facilitating organized psychology, Matarazzo was instrumental in founding the Association of Psychologists in Academic Health Centers. He was also one of the principal founders and first president of the APA Division of Health Psychology. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
