TY - JOUR PY - 1947// TI - Counterpoint to a 'Footnote to military psychology.' JO - American psychologist, The A1 - Whittemore, Irving C. SP - 208 EP - 209 VL - 2 IS - 6 N2 - The place for military psychologists is not outside the armed forces, acting freely in an advisory capacity. The civilian in a military establishment is faced with many problems. He does not "belong" to the establishment; he cannot issue directions nor demand assistance and it is doubtful that a civilian would be afforded access to the materials upon which investigations of significance would have to be based. Although a psychologist in uniform may hold a low rank, he may still influence the judgment of his superiors who are rarely prejudiced in a technical sense. As for judging the value of military psychology, it might be well to have the judgment rendered by the military. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
