In 1917 the Journal of Applied Psychology made its appearance. At about the same time, colleges in the western world began to introduce courses in applied psychology and as the subject has developed, the trend has been to offer courses in specific fields of applied psychology such as industrial psychology, personnel psychology, vocational psychology, and advertising psychology.
In 1919 Scott and several others founded the Scott Company of Philadelphia. This was the first psychological consulting firm ever organized and was oriented toward personnel problems in industry. This was followed two years later by the previously mentioned psychology Corporation the oldest firm of this type still active in the United States.
