Expanded Plan Marks KU Psychology Clinic
A new $1,200 annual fellowship plus the addition of two new staff members highlight the expanding service program to the people of Kansas by the University Psychological Clinic.
The fellowship, granted by the U.S. Public Health Service, raises the number of Public Health clinical psychology fellows at KU to three. The grant comes at a time when the Public Health Service is cutting the budget for many schools, but the KU training program was expanded from $14,500 for last year to $15,740 now.
"This year we hope to extend the type of service offered Kansans," M. E. Wright, director of the clinic said. "We have two new and highly qualified staff members to help—Dr. Marjorie Higgins Richey from the University of California in Los Angeles, and Dr. Bert Kaplan of the departments of social relations and public health at Harvard University."
The Psychological clinic maintains a statewide service and any Kansas can contact it for suggestions or referrals on psychological matters. The clinic has provided speakers to address many club meetings. One of the most important services is assistance to Kansas children through the training of professional workers, research and direct service to children.
"The emotionally disturbed child, the child slow in learning; or the child_with social difficulties, that has temper tantrums or bedwetts . . all of these children are the particular concern of the clinic." Dr. Wright said
Special techniques are used to treat these children. Phy therapy, finger painting, psychological tests, interviews—all these are used to find out more about the child. Staff members work carefully to obtain the confidence of each child as part of the treatment program.
Many children who enter the Lawrence elementary schools are first tested by the clinic. These tests help determine the capacities of the child and make it possible for gifted children to enter kindergarten early.
The clinic is actively cooperating with psychological centers in Wichita, Topeka, and Kansas City as well as Lawrence. These are the Shawnee Guidance center in Topeka, the Bert Nash Mental health clinic in Lawrence; the University of Kansas Child Student center in Kansas City, Kansas, and the Veterans' Administration hospital system in Kansas.
Are we stretching things a bit? Maybe — but when you find out how mild and sweet and refreshing the Medico pipe can be, you'll go for Medico, tool. It's the replaceable filter in Medico that makes the big difference. That little filter traps dangerous nicotine and tars, disagreeable juices and flakes.
That's why countless smokers, beginners and old timers alike, who never enjoyed the pleasures of a pipe, now enjoy the clean mild fragrance of Medico - the pioneer in filtered smoking.
Try a Medico Pipe. See why Medico's filter has sold over a billion to date!
