At a time when New York was best positioned to influence the development of the profession of psychology in the mid-twentieth century, efforts to pass licensing or certification in Albany floundered for more than 15 years due to opposition from physicians and psychiatrists. That changed when Rollo May emerged as the leader of New York psychologists' lobbying effort in 1952, and he turned their losing and defensive campaign against organized medicine into a winning and offensive one. He inspired his fellow pioneering psychologists to withstand the "overwhelming power" of organized medicine and see their profession through its "frontier struggles," which culminated in the Empire State's psychologist regulation law in 1956.

当罗洛·梅的纽约心理学家“小团体”反击有组织的医学试图控制心理治疗时。

在 20 世纪中叶纽约最有能力影响心理学专业发展的时候，由于医生和精神病学家的反对，在奥尔巴尼通过执照或认证的努力挣扎了 15 年以上。1952 年，当罗洛·梅 (Rollo May) 成为纽约心理学家游说活动的领导者时，情况发生了变化，他将他们对有组织医学的失败和防御运动转变为胜利和进攻性的运动。他激励他的先驱心理学家们抵御有组织医学的“压倒性力量”，并通过其“前沿斗争”来看待他们的职业，最终在 1956 年帝国州的心理学家监管法中达到顶峰。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，所有保留权利）。
