1Department of Psychology and Counseling, University of Central Arkansas.
Abstract:
This article outlines the career of former governor of Ohio, Dr. Theodore "Ted" Strickland, who was trained as a psychologist prior to entering the world of politics. He became increasingly interested in politics while practicing as a psychologist, specifically, in the ability and training of psychologists, which he believes grants them unique skills to guide public policy. As governor, Strickland was able to interact with a diverse group of individuals on the challenges encountered during his term and understand issues from different viewpoints due to his background in psychology. He also maintained the scientist-practitioner approach by keeping himself informed on current issues via publications. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
