J. E. Wallace Wallin

John Edward Wallace Wallin (January 21, 1876 – August 5, 1969) was an American psychologist and an early proponent of educational services for the mentally handicapped.

He established several psychology clinics and was a noted professor, author and mental health director for a state board of education.

Wallin's father was a farmer, merchant, bank director and school board president at various points in his life.

By 1925 the Clinical Section was abandoned, and applied psychologists regrouped in a series of new regional and national entities.

It would not be until after World War II that the APA would create a divisional structure that enabled clinical psychology to enter it again.

[8] Beginning early in his career at Vineland, Wallin took great interest in intelligence testing and education of the developmentally disabled.

The drawings were reproduced in the article "A Practical Guide for Administering the Binet-Simon Scale for Measuring Intelligence" by J. W. Wallace Wallin in the March 1911 issue of the journal The Psychological Clinic (volume 5 number 1)
