Parker E. Lichtenstein (1915-2011) was a student at Indiana
University when the first issue of The Psychological Record (TPR) was
published there. His mentors were J. R. Kantor, B. F. Skinner, and
Winthrop Kellogg. Each of them influenced his professional life, and he
honored them always. In graduate school, Kantor's, Interbehavioral
philosophy illuminated Parker's understanding of psychology and
continued to guide his teaching and writing. He was joined in
Kantor's classes by a cohesive group of student colleagues. All of
them became lifelong champions of Interbehavioral Psychology. When
Parker began his teaching career at Denison University in Granville,
Ohio, two of that group, Irv Wolfe and Paul Mountjoy joined his
department. It was at Denison that Wolfe acquired the editorship of TPR. Parker began his service to TPR at Denison, and he continued his quiet dedication to it well into his eighth decade. Throughout, he sustained his love for his discipline and his commitment to Interbehavioral Psychology. He was always available to consult with and guide the editors of the journal, in a voice that was soft-spoken but whose wisdom shone brilliantly. During my term as editor, the journal benefited from his advice, thoughtful articles, and perceptive book reviews. But I benefited, too, from a benevolent Socratic friendship that prevailed long after his retirement. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Charles E. Rice, Kenyon College |
