Zusammenfassung:In 1951 both houses of the N. Y. legislature passed unanimously a bill to license psychologists. This bill was vetoed by Governor Dewey. There is a discussion of (1) Background of Legislation in N. Y. State, (2) Organization of the Joint Council of N. Y. State psychologists, (3) Licensing Law and Certification Law, (4) The Legislative Campaign. The Governor's veto message is cited verbatim.
