    • Abstract:
      Memorializes Eugene A. Shapiro (1919-2021). A trailblazer in professional psychology, Shapiro played key roles institutionally in establishing psychology as a major health profession. He won a scholarship to Rutgers to complete his BS in psychology, and later won acceptance into the doctoral program in clinical psychology at New York University (NYU). He earned his PhD from NYU in 1953. Gene, along with Jack Wiggins, was instrumental in increasing the availability of psychological services to military personnel and their families under programs such as the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services. Gene helped foreground the interests of practicing psychologists in American Psychological Association (APA), upgrading the Office for Professional Practice to the Practice Directorate. He also helped found the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology at Rutgers University, the first university-based professional school in the country, and was a pioneer in the prescribing psychologist movement.
