Last week, students in Dr. Mienaltowski's PSYS 481: History of Psychology class reviewed many of Lightner Witmer's cases from the early 1900s. Witmer, a psychologist, worked on cases that included children from a variety of backgrounds facing cognitive, physical, and social issues that led to challenges in their daily lives. Many benefited from interventions that he and his staff implemented. Witmer is known as the first psychologist to describe applied psychological work focused on client interventions as “clinical psychology.” Students reviewed cases in groups and presented on the details of each case, the interventions used, and the efficacy of treatment.
