Write a letter to the editor in which you identify a specific and current issue (possibly within the field of education, criminal justice, or government) through which to explore the relationship between psychology and society.
Psychotherapy is what many people think of when they hear the word psychology. Psychologists represent only a segment of the people offering mental health services. Other professions whose members do have training in psychotherapy include psychiatry, social work, and counseling (including pastoral counselors). The word psychotherapist is not a state-regulated word, so anyone may call himself or herself a psychotherapist, regardless of training. Furthermore psychologists engage in many activities in research and industry not at all related to mental health services, but contribute to different areas of society. For instance:

B.F. Skinner\’s principles of operant conditioning were applied in the classroom to increase performance of elementary school students, and also to reduce delinquency.
The lessons from Phil Zimbardo\’s Stanford Prison Experiment give new insights to prison administrators and others in the justice system in understanding the effects of incarceration.
Irving Janis\’ notions of Groupthink helped elucidate contrasting decision-making processes in the Kennedy administration in their handling of the Bay of Pigs Invasion and the Cuban missile crisis. This has led to a variety of recommendations for future group processes in crisis situations.
As you select your topic for this assessment, think about how these examples illustrate the link between findings in psychology and how these findings have helped to shape solutions for business, educational, health, and social problems
