APA 's Women 's Programs Office has launched Women 's Psych-E , a free , monthly e-mail newsletter that provides information on women 's health and well-being , and on research initiatives and opportunities for psychologists concerned with women 's issues . This is the fraternal association for psychologists in Manitoba . 45 / On the national level , Blue Shield refused to afford psychologists independent status in its program for federal employees until Congress mandated coverage for psychologists ' services in 1974 . APA 's position : APA submitted a brief arguing that : ( 1 ) psychologists are fully trained and qualified to provide mental health services ; ( 2 ) Blue Shield and physicians have long entertained anti-competitive policies toward psychologists resulting in increased costs to consumers ; ( 3 ) McCready and others had standing to sue . Purpose : To provide a research psychologist or senior graduate student in scientific psychology with an invaluable learning experience in psychological research administration and policy related to counterintelligence research , to contribute to more effective use of psychological knowledge within federal counterintelligence research programs , and to broaden the awareness about the value of the psychology-government interaction among psychologists and within the federal government in general , and the Department of Defense in particular . The hope is that political and administrative pressure - - such as the audit and perhaps a formal complaint against the state hospital licensing body - - could bring a favorable outcome for psychologists . The Supreme Court rules that symbolic speech with the intent to intimidate is unprotected , increasing the need for psychologist 's court testimony and research on people 's responses to symbolic threats . Biological Sciences Directorate in particular , may provide renewed hope for psychologists who were feeling discouraged as they saw program support for areas such as animal learning and cognition wither under the previous administration . Each year , APA 's Science Directorate sponsors and places a psychologist in an executive branch research office , with the goals of : providing scientists invaluable learning experiences in research , science administration and policy ; contributing to more effective uses of psychological knowledge within federal agencies ; and broadening awareness about the value of the psychology-government interaction among psychologists and within the federal government . ” Although psychologists knew that testing strengthened the subsequent recall of the tested learned material , it hadn ’ t been clear whether typical classroom tests ( as distinguished from high-stakes standardized tests ) also strengthened recall of the material not put on the test .
