Editor's note: We are very pleased to publish this article based on a G. Stanley Hall invited lecture presented by Drew Appleby at the 106th Convention of the American Psychological Association (APA) in 1998. At the time of the lecture, Dr. Appleby was chairman of the Marian College Psychology Department.
