William S. Verplanck, Ph.D.

Professor of Psychology, Emeritus

University of Tennessee, Knoxville

Welcome. In these pages, you'll find information on some of my past activities, publications, and addresses, plus my current projects and ongoings.

"The history of psychology is largely constituted of a succession of fads overlying the continuity given by a few technological methods which have been progressively misapplied with little critical concern for their social, political, or scientific consequences. Can any person, working over a period of fifty years, make a difference?"
