The Mystery Psychologist
by Dr. Fred Peterson
Department of Veterans Affairs
Chillicothe VA Medical Center Campus
This edition’s Mystery Psychologist (MP) is unusual in
that it features the field of psychology in Ohio. Back in
1999, a group of Ohio psychologists participated in a
presentation to review the accomplishments of
“Psychology’s First 50 Years”. Jack Wiggins, Ron Fox,
Rod Hammond, Jim Webb and I were all part of the
symposium. I was the youngster of the group
representing the “product” of Ohio Psychology’s
culmination of a School of Professional Psychology. But
of course, our Mystery Psychologist was a featured part of
the presentation. During his career, he blazed new trails
for psychologists working in a hospital setting, way before
there was such a thing that we referred to as “Health
Psychology or Behavioral Medicine.” In fact, our hero
MP would rail against his history working in the medical
world as an ancillary service. In fact, his advice to young
psychologists today is to start organizing the field of
psychology to be independent, not a subset of healthcare
that ultimately depends on medicine to write a check for
psychological services we provide. He has seen it all in
Ohio and asserts that psychologists should push for
“unlimited license” to practice psychological services,
which of course would embrace a psycho-socialbiological model. That way, the Board of Psychology
could decide about expanding the scope of psychology
services, such as prescription privileges. Our hero MP
was the first psychologist licensed in Ohio (as license #7,
after the six Board of Psychology members licensed
themselves) and was the first psychologist to be President
of OPA not once but twice. He is currently working on a
psychology text book that treats psychology as a hard
science. If you know this Mystery Psychologist, be the
first to email the answer to Frederick.peterson@va.gov
and your practice can be featured in the next edition of the
Miami Valley Psychologist newsletter
Mystery Psychologist Winner!
The winner of the Mystery Psychologist contest in the
last issue of The Miami Valley Psychologist was
Richard Sexton, Ph.D. The mystery psychologist was
Franz Brentano.

------------------------------------------------------------DAPA Regional Science Fair Award Winner
By Rose Mary Shaw, Psy.D.
Karen Hildebrant, a junior at Carroll High School in
Dayton was the winner of the 2013 Science Award at a
recent District Science Fair. Ms. Hildebrant’s research
examined the effects of negative emotions on visual
attention.
Abstract
The purpose of this project was to determine whether
negative emotion affects visual attention, which was
measured by subjects’ performance accuracy on a visual
discrimination task. It was hypothesized that if subjects
viewed an emotionally neutral or negative picture and
immediately performed a visual discrimination task
under either low or high perceptual load, then subjects
who viewed a negative picture would experience
increased visual attention, especially under high
perceptual load. To test this hypothesis, subjects viewed
a presentation of sixty rapidly-presented crosses, with
one green arm and one blue arm, of which one was
slightly longer. Each cross was randomly preceded by no
picture, an emotionally neutral wheel, or an emotionally
negative wolf. Twenty subjects under low perceptual
load were asked to indicate which arm was blue. Twenty
subjects under high perceptual load were asked to
indicate which arm was longer. Under low load,
3
performance accuracy for all three emotional contents
was very high, ranging from 94% for no emotion to 99%
for negative. Performance was much lower under high
perceptual load, at 58% for no emotion and 57% for
neutral. Despite the task difficulty under high load,
performance accuracy shot to 96% for subjects who
viewed the negative picture. Furthermore, a t-test of the
data revealed a sampling error of 10%, meaning that
about 90% of the experimental results reflect more than
random variability. From the results it can be concluded
that the hypothesis was correct.
About the DAPA Science Scholarship
This scholarship supports and encourages the pursuit of
behavioral science research during the high school years.
This year, 48 research submissions were reviewed.
Awards of $100 per recipient are granted annually
following judging of the research project boards,
research papers and oral presentations during the District
Science Fair. During the last three years, each of the
award recipients went on to compete at the Ohio State
Science Days, sponsored by the Ohio Academy of
Science.
The DAPA Science Award is supported as a special
project in the DAPA annual budget.

Walking the Path of Empathy
Dennis O’Grady, Psy.D.
Empathy is the art of listening so deeply and completely
that you feel the subconscious emotional experience of
the Speaker without soaking up their emotions.
Understanding empathy is like learning to ride a bike: It
takes courage to try and fail only to get up again. It’s
learning not only how to listen but to truly hear.
Don't think you've got an empathetic bone in your body?
Try listening to the following Empathy Talk Exercise
from the renowned Cleveland Clinic (Cntrl + click on
link to open browser to video). Successful Empathetic
Listening yields huge gains for all. You lose bad moods
and judgmental anger while simultaneously gaining
temperance and peace of mind.
Empathy essentials: Anger results from not being heard
or understood.
Here are Empathy travel tips to better equip you with
tools to manage your emotions (be they anger, fear,
sadness, happiness, lust, grief, guilt, confusion,
loneliness, boredom, anxiety, distrust, panic, dread,
disgust, shame, frustration, peace, and so on)...



Turn down the volume and ask: "What feelings
are hiding behind the words?"
Become self-encouraging: “Empathic Listening
will help me lose my unhelpful anger.
Leave the sloppy anger at home: “There is no
excuse for me to lose my cool."
Let go of cherished opinions that serve as
shackles. Instead ask, “What do they believe?"
Penetrate the Speaker's reality: “I will look into
your eyes; the windows to the soul."
Tolerate the anxiety that comes with emotional
connectivity: “I accept we all feel insecure at
times."
Leave your own pity party. “I am going to give
myself five more minutes to feel sorry for
myself—then I’m going to stop."
Resist the habit of impatience. “I have all the
time in the world to listen to you."
Anger results from lack of sensitivity spreading
and multiplying. Instigator communicators are
accused of insensitivity, making them prone to
Anger Attacks. Empathizer communicators are
wired to be too sympathetic and are drained and
constrained by trying to save or rescue others at
the expense of the Self.
“If you could stand in someone else's shoes...
Hear what they could hear....
See what they could see....
Would you treat them differently?"

Psychologist, the ABPP will offer a 3 hour oral exam to
psychologists in November this year at the Gerontological
Society of America conference held in New Orleans.
The cost of certification will include an initial application
fee of $125, a $250 fee, and an oral exam fee of $450 for a
total of $825. An annual recredentialing fee of $185 will
also be charged.
