The early part of Derner's life included several bouts with tuberculosis and a stint as a ringmaster in traveling circuses. His professional life included positions at Columbia University, and later Adelphi College, where he formed a clinical training program, and eventually became the Dean of the Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies at Adelphi University. The program at Adelphi was the forerunner of professional education in psychology. This contribution was recognized when he was elected the founding president of the National Council of Schools of Professional Psychology. He also served as a Field Selection Officer for the Peace Corps, and consulted with the Japanese government about the possibility of establishing a Japanese version of the Peace Corps. Derner died in 1983, and Adelphi University recognized his leadership by renaming the school he founded the Gordon F. Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies.

The reasons for joining are no doubt many, but they are likely to include one or more of the following: desire for collegial relationships, opportunities for continuing education, support for advocacy on behalf of the professional members, opportunity for enhanced status, professional “networking,” and availability of resources for marketing.

Many psychoanalytic clinicians are comfortable functioning in the clinical world, using experience-near data. Many others are comfortable in the metapsychological world, using more experience-distant concepts. Some are even able to apply theory to practice, and modify one based on their experience of the other. But the bridge between the two, the middle-level described by Mayman, which represents the empirical joining of the theoretical and clinical, operationalized in the form of research which can inform either the clinical or the theoretical, is an area of lessened comfort for many. It is to this middle-level that Masling's book addresses itself, presenting examples of a wide variety of psychoanalytic research projects. Some are studies of psychoanalytic theory and others of psychoanalytic therapy; some are more empirical and others are more theoretical, some are original and others are reviews of already published material; but all provide an empirical grounding for practice. Stricker reviews the major findings and contributions of each of the seven chapters, and concludes with some general comments about psychoanalytic research.

Peer review is defined as a process by which one professional, in an official capacity, makes a judgment about a co-professional in a matter involving professional functioning. The contracts between psychologists and psychiatrists and CHAMPUS (Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services), a health benefit program for retired military personnel and military dependents, are discussed. The review process is followed from the third-party payer request for an evaluation to disposition of the case. Similarities between the review systems implemented for CHAMPUS and the private insurance companies are reviewed, and the selection of reviewers is discussed. Criticisms of the project are noted, particularly regulations directed against the third-party payer, the mechanics of implementation of the system, acco...
