CLINICAL AND APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY Mr. Edwin R. Thomas, acting depart- ment head, studies a model of the human brain. Much emphasis Is placed upon the physical aspects of the human body which in turn supplies the student a solid foundation of under- standing of much of human behavior. The application and consequent study of audio perception relates much needed information on the subject of human behavior. Dr. Donald Ogdon, and Dr. John A. Blake are shown with some of the devices used to teach such phases of applied psychology. Charts such as shown here, as well as several other electrical and electronic instruments, are employed in instruct- ing the newest and least known of man ' s studies. The subject of play therapy through the medium of puppetry is one of the newest techniques employed in child psychology. Here, Dr. Vytautas Biel- iauskas, and Dr. Dell Lebo, examine the supply of puppets that will be em- ployed in the next show or study session. 27
