Accountability in clinical training implies a strong relationship
between the training outcomes touted by a training program and the
performance of its graduates. The training program and its faculty
must be able to ensure that students have the competencies
necessary for entering the profession and can offer competent
services. In addition, responsibility for the quality and value of
training must be assumed by the profession. Pressure for
accountability is becoming increasingly apparent as the public
learns about fraud, waste, and abuse in publicly funded pro grams
(Fishman & Neigher, 1982). Federally supported clinical
training programs have had to defend their training practices
against threats of funding loss without the hard data needed to
support their practices. Funding seems to have been forthcoming
mostly because of our ability to demonstrate the need for clinical,
counseling, and school psychol ogists. Graduates seeking
professional careers in such applied fields demand considerable
trust from their clientele and the public-at-large when they
establish themselves, offer and advertise their services, make
claims on public monies, and profess to do good and no harm.
Neither their clien tele nor the public are in the position to
evaluate the services of the profes sion or the claims made for
these. (American Psychological Association lAPA], 1982, p."
