	American Psychological Association Papers (Library of Congress)
		Associated with the organization are divisions, committees, and affiliated organizations which help define the interests of the association.
		Presently the APA has forty-two divisions, ranging from "general psychology" and "psychologists in private practice," to "counseling," "teaching of psychology," "personality," and "family." Committees guide projects and handle issues ranging from ethical standards to insurance and financial questions.
		Also significant are testing and training issues; permeating the APA records as a whole is a gamut of health concerns, from licensing questions and insurance matters to community health centers and the relationship between psychology and psychiatry.

	Classics in the History of Psychology -- S. W. Fernberger (1943) The American Psychological
		Starting with a membership of 31 in 1892, the Association had grown so that, at the half-way mark, Cattell reviewed the history of the first twenty-five years in 1916 to a membership of 375, while this present address is to a total present membership of 3231.
		After the establishment of the grade of associate the curve rises markedly and surprisingly regularly (with the exception of the reversion for the California meeting in 1939) and reached the all-time high of 190 papers at the Pennsylvania State College meeting the next year.
		In addition the Association has eight affiliated organizations which, in the order of their date of affiliation, are the Eastern Psychological Association, the Rocky Mountain Branch, the Washington-Baltimore Branch, the Psychometric Society, the Society for the Study of Social Issues, the American Association for Applied Psychology, the Midwestern Psychological Association, and the Western Psychological Association.

	Ethics & American Psychological Association
		APA had created a process through which it could produce "a code of ethics truly indigenous to psychology, a code that could be lived" (Hobbs, 1948, p.
		This illustrates what the creators of the initial APA ethics code emphasized-that there may be a significant discrepancy between the ethical dilemmas encountered by the membership and the complaints received by the ethics committee, and therefore revisions to the code should be informed by the former as well as the latter.
		My psychological assistant was sexually exploited by her former supervisor and threatened her with not validating her hours for licensure if she didn't service his needs.

		APA is far and away the least useful or user friendly format ever devised (although a professor friend disagrees and thinks Chicago style is worse), and is largely used by social scientists.
		As we can see, APA is an absolutely dreadful citation style, especially with its prohibition of footnotes, leading to incomprehensible paragraphs in which your prose is murdered by names and dates in parentheses.
		First, it is unnecessarily humungous, trying to beef up the very thin body of APA citation requirements (which by the way can be found for free all over the internet) with hugely unenlightening chapters on basic writing style and methods.
