title: A history of the International Neuropsychological Society: the early years (1965-1985).
abstract: A history of the early years (1965-1985) of the International Neuropsychological Society (INS) is presented. Themes than run through these years--such as the need for an organizational structure, attempts to make the Society truly international, and the involvement of the membership, especially, the "younger" members, in governance--are clearly evident. After a somewhat shaky start, the Society came of age toward the end of this formative 20-year period.
