OK, very sad.  Curious if anyone knows if APS had taken any official
position on this issue?  I have to admit I'm now quite proud to be a
member of APS as opposed to the APA.  But then the APA didn't want me as I
don't have a PhD (classic, ABD).  Right from the get-go, APS decided to
have no concern with status (i.e., not requiring different colored badges
based on your status as per APA conventions), welcomed full membership to
all instructors of psychology from the high school level on up, etc.  Of
course, their main goal was to encourage the field of psychology to become
more rigorous/scientific as the APA was being taken over by the clinicians
who tend to not understand the criteria and methods required for rigorous
scientific conclusions.

This is getting very personal but can't help but be curious how many of
you who are members of APA have written letters and/or left this
organization due to the quite negative perspective they have given to all
of us who practice in the field of psychology.  Unfortunately, the media
only knows about the APA versus APS, at least that's my general
impression.
