Springer Publishing is an American publishing company of academic journals and books, focusing on the fields of nursing, gerontology, psychology, social work, counseling, public health, and rehabilitation (neuropsychology). It was established in 1950 by Bernhard Springer, a great grandson of Julius Springer, and is based on the 15th floor of the Salmon Tower in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.
Springer Publishing Company was founded in 1950 by Bernhard Springer, the Berlin-born great grandson of Julius Springer, who founded Springer-Verlag (to this day an entirely independent company). Springer Publishing Company publishes books in the fields of nursing, psychology, gerontology, social work, counseling, public health, rehabilitation, and healthcare administration.
Dr. Springer's first landmark publications included Livestock Health Encyclopedia by Dr. R. Seiden and the 1952 Handbook of Cardiology for Nurses. The new company's books soon branched into other fields, including medicine and psychology. Nursing publications grew rapidly in number, as Dr. Modell's Drugs in Current Use, a small annual paperback, became the gold standard text for many years, selling over 150,000 copies over several editions. Dr. Solomon Garb's Laboratory Tests for Nurses, first published in 1954, was also so popular that it made Springer Publishing Company one of the best known publishers of nursing books. Its six editions sold nearly 240,000 copies over 25 years.
In its second decade, Springer Publishing Company expanded into new publishing areas to reflect the rapidly expanding health care industry. Gerontology was a growing topic of interest, and in the 1960s Bernhard Springer published six titles on aging-more than any other publisher-and gave his company a leading position in the field. Meanwhile, publications in psychiatry and psychology continued to grow, with Should the Patient Know the Truth? by Dr. Standard, and Dynamic Psychiatry in Simple Terms by Dr. Mezer. But it was The Picture Arrangement Test by the legendary psychologist Silvan Tomkins that placed Springer Publishing Company on the map in this field.
