“…As a corrective, HMOs were introduced in the early 1970s to rationalize medical care. HMOs establish disincentives to overtreatment, and encourage proactive rather than reactive medicine, with a focus on disease prevention (Mayer and Mayer, 1985;Wholey and Burns, 2000). These strategies now are congruent with CAM's philosophy of healing.…”

For decades, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has been a topic of discussion within American medical journals. This research examines trends in the amount of coverage CAM receives in top professional journals in US medicine in order to ascertain if the timing of this discussion is linked to demographic, economic or political changes occurring in US society and affecting organized medicine. Pooled time series analyses of the number of published documents in five prestigious American medical journals between 1965 and 1999 were conducted, and findings of models with unlagged and lagged variables are presented. Results indicate that coverage of CAM is related to a proportionately older population, disability, innovation in health care financing and expanded licensing for non-physician health care providers. These associations point to a profession actively monitoring its competitors in a rapidly changing medical marketplace.

“…After World War II, the Permanente Health Plan opened to the public for enrollment, and unions began to establish pre-paid group health plans in the auto and mining industries. However, by 1970, there were only 39 pre-paid group practices in the United States (Mayer & Mayer, 1985).…”

Organizational theory emphasizes how new organizational forms are produced by technological innovation but has glossed over the role of cultural innovation. This chapter suggests that social movements are important sources of cultural innovation and identifies the scope conditions under which social movements create new organizational forms. By doing so, it lends substance to the notion of institutional entrepreneurship and enlarges the theoretical reach of neo-institutionalism.

After 9–11, the United States began interrogating detainees at settings such as Abu Ghraib, Bagram, and Guantanamo. The American Psychological Association (APA) supported psychologists’ involvement in interrogations, adopted formal policies, and made an array of public assurances. This article’s purpose is to highlight key APA decisions, policies, procedures, documents, and public statements in urgent need of rethinking and to suggest questions that may be useful in a serious assessment, such as, “However well intended, were APA’s interrogation policies ethically sound?”; “Were they valid, realistic, and able to achieve their purpose?”; “Were other approaches available that would address interrogation issues more directly, comprehensively, and actively, that were more ethically and scientifically based, and that would have had a greater likelihood of success?”; and “Should APA continue to endorse its post-9–11 detainee interrogation policies?”
