I'm echoing Dr. Padin's point: Dr. Baker's VA Psychology Photo History Project is wonderful. And the photos bring to light the visual images that summarize the actions about Psychology for veterans expressed in words in the two books that Dr. Baker has written: 1. Baker, R. R., & Pickren, W. E. (2007). Psychology and the Department of Veterans Affairs: A Historical Analysis of Training, Research, Practice, and Advocacy. Washington, DC: APA Books. 2. Baker, R. R. (Editor) (2007). Stories from VA Psychology. Bloomington, Indiana: Authorhouse (Available from www.authorhouse.com) ________________________________ From: "Padin, Edgardo (VHACLE)" <Edgardo.Padin@xxxxxx> To: members1@xxxxxxxxx Sent: Thu, February 3, 2011 1:43:26 PM Subject: [AVAPL Members] Re: VA Psychology Photo History available This was a wonderful bit of “photo-history”.
