Biographical Note

Ira Iscoe, PhD, ABPP, Professor Emeritus, joined the University of Texas at Austin Department of Psychology faculty in 1951, and was instrumental in developing the Clinical Training Psychology Program and its accreditation by the American Psychology Association. Born February 1, 1921 in New York City, Ira Iscoe was educated at Sir George Williams College where he received his BA, and the University of California at Los Angeles where he received his MA and PhD. Dr. Iscoe has served on numerous committees and received several awards for his work in psychology and mental health. Significant to the University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Iscoe was an invited consultant to the committee, appointed by Governor John B. Connally, to investigate the Charles Whitman UT tower sniper shootings of August 1, 1966. The recommendations of the committee produced changes in how the university handled the tragedy's social implications. Dr. Iscoe was also part of the University of Texas Sutherland Committee (1966-67), which made broad recommendations concerning counseling throughout the University of Texas System, especially the use of 24-hour telephone counseling. Dr. Iscoe is active as a pro bono consultant to a number of community and state agencies and serves as a mentor to faculty members.
