This article reviews the concept that professional psychology is synonymous with mental health. The acceptance of this concept results in limiting the potential impact that psychology has for both individuals and society. Historical antecedents of both psychology and professional psychology are considered as laying a foundation for a necessary paradigm shift from primarily mental health to health. Clinical neuropsychology, health psychology, and prescriptive authority are considered as three examples that may assist in guiding professional psychology toward inclusiveness into a broader health care arena. Limitations of the proposed paradigm and directions for its future are considered. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2011 APA, all rights reserved).

Psychology is unable to demonstrate its legitimacy as a rigorous profession or a positive science. The Boulder model as well as the alternative theories proposed by the positivists, constructivists and hermeneuticists are part of a larger and more fundamental dialectical process; one that finds its historical significance within the philosophical tradition as well as all aspects of human action. It is time for psychology to wake up from the repressive slumber of positivism and reaffirm its position as a human science.

Gradually it extended its membership beyond New York and environs and became one of the more important elements later to merge into the American Association for Applied Psychology (AAAP).…”
