CONTRIBUTIONS OF PSYCHOLOGY TO PSYCHIATRY
Abstract
In order to obtain some indication of psychologists' contributions to the field of psychiatry, a review was made of 1,319 articles appearing in the American Journal of Psychiatry during the past 11 years. While no significant numerical trends appear during the period studied, the following conclusions can be made.
1. Articles authored by psychologists ranged from 1.5% in 1944 to 5.4% in 1951. Forty-one, or about 3% of the total articles, were authored by psychologists.
2. Articles in which psychologists were listed as co-authors ranged from 4.6% in 1944 to 10.6% in 1947. Of the 1,319 articles reviewed, 97 or approximately 7% were coauthored by psychologists.
3. All in all, psychologists had a hand in 138 or 10% of the 1,319 contributions published in the American Journal of Psychiatry during the 11-year period studied.
