The idea that there is a fundamental rift between researchers and
practitioners should not come as a surprise to anyone familiar with
the current literature, trends, and general feelings in the field
of clinical psychology. Central to this scientist-practitioner gap
is an underlying disagreement over the nature of knowledge - namely
that while some individuals point to research studies as the
foundation of truth, others argue that clinical experience offers a
more adequate understanding of the causes, assessment, and
treatment of mental illness. The Great Ideas of Clinical Science is
an ambitious attempt to dig beneath these fundamental differences,
and reintroduce the reader to unifying principles often overlooked
by students and professionals alike. The editors have identified 17
such universals, and have pulled together a group of the most
prolific minds in the field to present the philosophical,
methodological, and conceptual ideas that define the state of the
field. Each chapter focuses on practical as well as conceptual
points, offering valuable insight to practicing clinicians,
researchers, and teachers of any level of experience. Written for
student, practitioner, researcher, and educated layperson, this
integrative volume aims to facilitate communication among all
mental health professionals and to narrow the
scientist-practitioner gap.
