| Abstract
|
:
|
"Psychology and the Department of Veterans Affairs: A Historical Analysis of Training, Research, Practice, and Advocacy examines the government's role in caring for veterans and shows how it shaped the science and profession of psychology. This book continues the story of the reciprocal influence of psychology and government that was begun in Psychology and the National Institute of Mental Health: A Historical Analysis of Science, Practice, and Policy (APA, 2005). Target readers for this book include psychologists who work in health care fields or have connections with the VA, and others interested in the history of psychology and postwar American life."--Jacket.
