The department is fairly young. Our first faculty members were hired in the 1950s and we began awarding PhDs in the 1960s. A constant theme has been the application of psychology. One of our five programs is clinical psychology. Clinical psychologists were among the founders of the department, the clinical program has been APA accredited since 1973, and a majority of the PhDs we have awarded have been in clinical. Today about 40% of our faculty members are associated with the clinical program, as are about 56% of our graduate students. The community program shares an applied bent with the clinical program (and some graduate students are jointly enrolled in both programs). We hired our first community psychologist in the early 1980s; today about 20% of our faculty members are associated with the community program. In less applied areas, perhaps the research done at GSU that is most broadly known is the Rumbaughs’ work with chimpanzees and language. That heritage is reflected today in two of our programs: the developmental program, which includes interests in communication and communication disorders, and the social/cognitive program, which includes interests in cognition as it is manifested across species and which remains associated with the Language Research Center—although current interests also include emotion and prejudice. The fifth program, neuropsychology and behavioral neuroscience (NBN), whose first members were hired in the 1980s, reflects another important emphasis of our department, which is collaborative work that crosses boundaries. Some members of this program have clinical interests (and some graduate students are jointly enrolled in both clinical and NBN programs), while others stress laboratory work; some have joint appointments with the biology department and many are involved in the NSF-funded Center for Behavioral Neuroscience. Such boundary crossing is not confined to NBN but occurs, and is encouraged, in our other programs as well.
