Doctoral student Shana Lessing (Graduate Center of the City University of New York), supervised by Dr. Vincent Crapanzano, will undertake research on how professional and ethical goals may be shaped by disciplinary histories, institutions, and practices. The case on which she will focus is the military psychologist. Against a background of debate about psychological care of soldiers, the researcher will examine how ethical questions are figured in the everyday work of treating, diagnosing, and producing authoritative knowledge. Findings from the research will provide a situated analysis of how practitioners negotiate between clinical and military institutional priorities.The research will be conducted over 11 months. In Phase I, the researcher will conduct an ethnographic investigation of military psychology's professional cultures in the Washington, D.C., area. In Phase II, she will shift her attention to psychologists who serve soldiers at an army base. She will collect data using a mix of social science methodologies including interviewing and participant observation in local activities. Data collection will focus on institutional structures, professional cultures, and theoretical and clinical approaches; professional-ethical discourses and frameworks; identification and resolution of ethical conflicts.Findings from this research will contribute to social science understanding of the relationship between personal and professional ethics and institutional contexts. Investigating military psychologists' own perspectives on the value and efficacy of current treatment models in a military context, this research will expand understandings of the factors shaping mental health care in the military. Supporting this research also supports the education of a graduate student.

博士生 Shana Lessing（纽约城市大学研究生中心）在 Vincent Crapanzano 博士的指导下，将研究学科历史、机构和实践如何塑造专业和道德目标。她要关注的案例是军事心理学家。在有关士兵心理护理的争论背景下，研究人员将研究在治疗、诊断和产生权威知识的日常工作中如何解决伦理问题。该研究的结果将对从业者如何在临床和军事机构优先事项之间进行谈判提供情境分析。该研究将持续 11 个月。在第一阶段，研究人员将对华盛顿特区的军事心理学专业文化进行人种学调查。在第二阶段，她将把注意力转向在军事基地为士兵服务的心理学家。她将使用多种社会科学方法收集数据，包括对当地活动进行访谈和参与者观察。数据收集将侧重于机构结构、专业文化以及理论和临床方法；职业道德话语和框架；道德冲突的识别和解决。这项研究的结果将有助于社会科学理解个人和职业道德与制​​度背景之间的关系。这项研究调查了军事心理学家对当前军事治疗模式的价值和功效的看法，将扩大对影响军队心理保健因素的理解。支持这项研究也支持研究生的教育。
