American Association of Applied Psychologists

The American Association of Applied Psychologists (abbreviated AAAP) was a short-lived American professional organization dedicated to applied psychology. It was founded in 1937 when the , which had been founded in 1930, merged with the American Psychological Association's section on clinical psychology, which had been founded in 1913.^[1] In the fall of 1939, around the time when World War II began, the AAAP and the American Psychological Association (APA) formed a joint emergency council to prepare for the impending war. This council later became a division of the National Research Council known as the Emergency Committee in Psychology.^[2] The AAAP merged with several other psychology organizations in 1944 and 1945 to form a new incarnation of the American Psychological Association.^[1]
