In memory ofViola W. Bernard, M.D. (1907-1998)
"Assuming that it is our social responsibility to increase
the understanding ofpsychological aspects ofsocial issues,
it is also our social responsibility to seek effective utilization
ofsuch knowledge in the shaping ofrelevant policies and
decision-making at the many organizational, institutional,
andgovernmental levels ofour society."
