Abstract: | Critiques proceedings of a 1965 conference on training of clinical psychologists and proposes a training plan that provides for (1) a 3-yr MA psychological service worker and (2) a 6-yr PhD specialist. Part 1 of the plan would address the problem of student selection while meeting the social need for a large number of clinical workers in 3, rather than the present 5, yrs. Part 2 of the plan might overcome the competition between clinical psychology and psychiatry. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
