Using the professional life of psychologist-educator Thomas N. McCarthy as a touchstone, Developing the Whole Person: A Practitioner’s Tale of Counseling, College, and the American Promise explores the achievements and difficulties of postwar counseling psychologists and psychologist-administrators in American higher education. They advanced a whole person development model for student life inside and outside the classroom, despite skepticism from faculty and other administrators and the emergence of a potent student freedom model in the late 1960s that insisted students were adults. These two models have persisted in tension with one another ever since.

“Developing the Whole Person: A Practitioner’s Tale of Counseling, College, and the American Promise explores the real ways in which a philosophy guided a student affairs leader—from the beginnings of the Student Personnel Point of View through in loco parentis, from single sex education to co-education, from a view of the student as a vocational product to that of a whole person. Each of these complex themes is covered using history as the framework and then explored deeply.” —Molly A. Schaller, Associate Professor of Higher Education in the School of Education and Faculty Fellow for Mission & Identity at Saint Louis University
