Abstract

C.R. Snyder and T.R. Elliott (this issue) offer a thoughtful and elaborate model for future training in graduate clinical psychology, couched in visionary optimism. However, they interpret history and present trends in a manner that seems to ignore the realistic demands of economic forces. They propose thoughtful, constructive, pro‐social directions, but seem at least partially oblivious to underlying economic forces destined to impede meaningful implementation of their model. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
