Professional Psychology: Research and Practice at Fifty: From Experiment to Valued Resource

This year marks the 50th year of the publication of Professional Psychology: Research and Practice (PPRP). Publishing a practitioner-oriented journal was a novel and revolutionary idea 50 years ago. Today PPRP is an established, widely read journal upon which practitioners around the world rely for up-to-date information on psychological practice. To mark this anniversary, I contacted all living past editors to gather their thoughts and reflections on the journal and their time as editors. In this commentary, I share some of their views, and some of my own.
