| Abstract: | A critique of research strategy and tactics in the investigation of the processes and functions of clinical psychologists is presented using the report of Sechrest, Gallimore, and Hersch (see record 2005-10655-001) as an example. It is argued that the continuation of studies using college students as an analogue to clinicians contributes little to the understanding of such processes or functions and that the methods of differential psychology are more appropriate than those of experimental psychology.
