T he Graduate School of Psychology of Fuller Theological Seminary is a bold venture in Christian higher education. It was the first institutional effort in the United States to combine training in professional psychology with theological education. Its goal has always been to "place the cross in the heart of psychology" a statement attributed to John G. Finch, who had the original idea for the school. Fuller's Graduate School of Psychology was

established in the fall of 1964 when the

Pasadena Community Counseling Center

opened its doors. Students came a year later in

1965. Since that time, the seminary has trained

over 500 students in clinical psychology and

marriage and family therapy. This volume

recounts the events that went into planning for

the school and the first ten years of its life under

the founding dean, Lee Edward Travis.

H. Newton Malony, senior professor at the School of Psychology, has taught at Fuller Seminary since 1969. He joined the faculty four years after the first students came to the school.

Hendrika Vande Kemp is professor at Fuller's School of Psychology. She has taught psychology in the Clinical Psychology Division since 1976
