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. (JINS,
2000, 6, 491–509.)
