| Abstract: | Responds to S. C. Hayes's (see record 1986-25647-001) comments on the work of D. R. Peterson (see record 1986-10245-001) on practitioner training in psychology. The present author argues that practitioner-oriented training in psychology occupies an important niche in the doctoral training system and that its rationale is embodied in its institutional priorities. One purpose of practitioner-oriented training is to develop a culture that is respectful of the clinical enterprise and that treats research primarily as an educational tool and a means to an end rather than as an end in itself.
