On This Day: 08 February
1878 - Martin Buber was born. Buber was a Jewish existentialist philosopher whose description of the intimate "I-Thou relationship" with God influenced humanistic theories of personality and psychotherapy.
1892 - Selig Hecht was born. Hecht discovered the processes of decomposition and regeneration of photopigments in the retina that transduce light energy into neural impulses. His work serves as a foundation of modern vision theory.
1973 - After a presentation by Charles Silverstein, the Nomenclature Committee of the American Psychiatric Association agreed to review the status of homosexuality as a psychiatric disorder. This was an important step in the eventual deletion of homosexuality as a pathological condition in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
1991 - The organizing meeting of the APA Rural Health Caucus was held in Washington, DC. The Rural Health Caucus promotes improvement of psychological research, teaching, and clinical practice in rural communities.

The mission of the Davidson College Psychology Department is to provide students with an outstanding education in all aspects of the science and practice of psychology. As committed teachers, researchers, practitioners, and advisers, we offer our students a rigorous curriculum of courses, research opportunities, and field experiences, combined with individualized mentoring. Thus are our students fully prepared to use their knowledge of psychology to flourish and to reach their highest level of professional attainment in their lives after Davidson. Critical to this mission, the department continuously works to maintain its standing as a nationally recognized center of psychological research and scholarship by supporting, encouraging, and facilitating the professional development of its faculty and staff. As psychologists who are dedicated to contributing to our discipline, we maintain a positive climate of collegiality, collaboration, high standards, and overall daily excellence within the department, from which our faculty as well as our students benefit both personally and professionally.
