The Oklahoma Psychological Association was founded in 1946 for the purpose of advancing psychology as a science, as a profession and as a means of promoting human welfare through scientific research, the application of psychological principles to daily life and the dissemination of current research based information to the public."

Just as the OPA delegration was lobbying congress on this very measure in early March, the U.S. Senate passed legislation retroactively extending the 5% Medicare psychotherapy payment restoration through the end of 2010 and preventing the 21.2% Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) cut through September 30. These provisions, critical to psychology, were included in the American Workers, State and Business Relief Act of 2010 (H.R. 4213).
