...placed on practical training in psychology in the fifties, a model of the ideal abnormal personality psychologist evolved. Named after the psychology convention where it won acceptance, the Boulder model places equal value on ability in scholarly research and in clinical work. An abnormal personality psychologist must have a command of both personality theory and methods of therapy evaluation in order not only to be an effective therapist but also to develop and test new treatments. He must be a skilled clinician to be a good researcher...
Lindzey correctly identifies the conflict at Harvard between pure research and practical application, but this does not invalidate the Boulder model. Despite the problems of combining research and practice at Harvard, it is still vital for a good abnormal personality psychologist to have a solid command of both. Consequently, it is important for an abnormal personality program to offer training in both theory and practice. The clinical psychology program was the victim of a squeeze between research and professional training. The conflicting and arbitrary bureaucratic demands of the University on one side and of the APA and the NIMH...
...ministers' permanent secretaries would run things in their absence. Last week the eleven surviving ministers-five others had been fired, one quit in disgust, and another, Amin's brother-in-law, submitted his resignation by letter-filed into the presidential palace in Kampala for a 6 a.m. command breakfast.

...union chiefs are present to vote down Jerry Wurf. While that may be an exaggeration, the 54-year-old Wurf, head of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, is certainly a maverick in the stolid hierarchy of organized labor.

Even so, Wurf is a growing power in the union movement, as Governors, mayors...
When the raft Acali (Aztec for house in the water) sets out across the Atlantic this month, it will be captained by Maria Bjornstram, 30, a lithe Swedish blonde. Six other key-command posts will also be held by women; all of the secondary positions will be filled by men. This strange odyssey, scheduled to begin in Las Palmas in the Canary Islands and wind up in Yucatan, Mexico, has all of the earmarks of a frivolous publicity stunt. In fact, it is a serious experiment in role reversal and cultural conflict conceived by Santiago Genoves, a Mexican anthropologist...
