Synopsis

The decade of the 1960s witnessed early attempts to create a unified science-profession of clinical psychology. Following in the path of these efforts - and the behavioral revolution in clinical psychology, which occurred around the same time - Donald Peterson set out to write what he describes in his new introduction as a "manifesto" for a "scientifically grounded, practically effective professional psychology." Originally published by Appleton-Century-Crofts in 1968.

Review

"A welcome reissue of a lively and engaging classic. The doctoral education of my graduate students is incomplete without this gem." Gerald Davison, University of Southern California "I am delighted that this profoundly challenging and illuminating book is in print again. It was timely when it first appeared and may even be more timely now." Walter Mischel, Columbia University "The rare that book lays the foundation for a turning point of a profession." Lawrence Pervin, Rutgers University "Peterson's book was ahead of its time. It is only in recent years that the wisdom and force contained in the work have been recognized." Seymour Sarason, Yale University
