Private Practice in Clinical Psychology by Theodore H. Blau Pdf
Excerpt from Private Practice in Clinical Psychology At The Time Of This Writing, psychology as A a science is nearing its one-hundredth anniversary. As a profession, psychology admits to adolescence rather than centenarianism. The development and progress of clinical psychology as a socially applicable profession is far more recent and is well-described elsewhere (1). Although clinical psychologists have been "practicing" for over twenty years, appreciable numbers of independent and qualified practitioners have offered services to the general public for only a decade. Even the term appreciable numbers is a rather qualified one. The past ten years have been marked by an increasing interest in what is loosely termed private practice. While the majority of well-trained clinical psychologists work in university or institutional settings, there is continual and growing interest in the offering of psychological services to the general public for a fee. There has been no commensurate increase in information or reports concerning principles or experience in private practice. Formal and informal discussions of this new area of endeavor at conventions and other professional gatherings sometimes result in strange ideas and mixed opinions.
