In his 1969 presidential address to the American Psychological Association (psycnet.apa.org/record/1970-10231-001), George Miller spoke of giving psychology away: “…psychology must be practiced by nonpsychologists…the secrets of our trade need not be reserved for highly trained specialists. Psychological facts should be passed out freely to all who need and can use them…There simply are not enough psychologists, even including nonprofessionals, to meet every need for psychological services. The people at large will have to be their own psychologists, and make their own applications of the principles that we establish. Our responsibility is less to assume the role of experts and try to apply psychology ourselves than to give it away to the people who really need it."
