Origins & HistoryIn July 1953, a group of Texas psychologists felt the time had come
for a new regional association of psychologists and mailed a letter
stating their interest to all American Psychological Association
members living in New Mexico, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri,
Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. This effort culminated the following
December in San Antonio as the Southwestern Psychological Association
met for the first time. Although Arizona and New Mexico today stand
with the original states to form the Association's core, SWPA's
membership continues to reach across international boundaries and
includes members in states from Washington to Florida, California to
Connecticut. From its founding to the present, SWPA works to promote
and strengthen psychology's scientific, professional and educational
facets. SWPA celebrated its Fiftieth Anniversary meeting in April of
2004 in San Antonio at the Sheraton Gunter Hotel, site of its original
meeting.
