“…should investigate at least 5 areas: (1) what it has been historically; (2) what people have said it was; (3) what is actually being done in its name; (4) the nature of the training required; and (5) what its relations are to borderline fields.

American psychology, generally speaking, has not heen greatly interested in practical problems of human behavior. There have been many brilliant individual exceptions to this generalization, but the attitude of the representative professional group is clearly evident in the Proceedings of the American Psychological Association, which have been summarized in Fernberger's history (28, pp. 42-53). That the laissez-faire attitude of the Association was not shared by many of its Members is shown by the organization of the American Association for Applied Psychology (5, 24) in 1937.

In other words, there is little or no actual agreement as to what clinical psychology is, except that it deals with individuals.A more specific definition of clinical psychology has been attempted by many writers during the past quarter of a century, but their statements do not always agree among themselves. There is no intent in writing this paper to present a new, and the final, definition. Rather, we shall be content with doing spadework furnishing data for such a formulation. In order to define this subject we

“…What, then, can be said about the intelligence of this same boy? (1) The quality and the potential quantity of his intelligence are determined at birth as is his ultimate height (barring, of course, as before, the effects of certain sicknesses or accidents). (2) His intelligence grows in amount as his body grows, not necessarily at the same rate, but probably somewhat after the same fashion.…”
