Interest in clinical psychology has been growing as indicated by
large numbers of undergraduates applying for admission to graduate
programs and the professional degrees granted. This book is written
for anyone with a strong interest in clinical psychology, but also
provides a comprehensive and realistic view of the field. The book,
therefore, can serve as a reference for courses in clinical
psychology, but it will be relevant to courses in personality and
personal counseling. Professional clinical psychologists and
members of related professions may also find the book valuable
because Garfield describes important historical developments that
have helped to shape the field, the roles and functions of the
clinical psychologist, their training programs, and contemporary
issues and problems. The text also describes the theoretical models
that guide the work of the clinical psychologist and upon which the
divergent approaches to clinical work are based. Changes in the
functions of the clinical psychologist are reflected in the greater
emphasis on psychotherapeutic and behavior change methods and in
the correspondingly reduced emphasis on diagnostic testing
procedures--a development discernible in the decline in studies of
high quality bearing on diagnostic issues. This book provides a
reliable source of information for the individual who contemplates
a professional career as a clinical psychologist and seeks to learn
what the profession encompasses.
