Abstract

The problem of legislation is one of main concern for the Conference of State Psychological Associations (September, 1949). Legislation for the practice of psychology has to be considered at the State level. At present there are twenty-five affiliated state societies plus those of the District of Columbia and the Canadian Province of Quebec. The Conference is not a scientific branch of the APA. The present situation as to certification and licensing is summarized briefly. The purpose of the Conference is two-fold (1) to protect the public by appropriate legislation and (2) to obtain some unity of purpose among psychologists from their various States.
