✦ Synopsis

The scientist±practitioner philosophy of clinical practice is first placed in its historical context. The history of the scientist±practitioner stance is marked by an enduring struggle between advocates and opponents of a research-based profession of clinical psychology. The criticisms of the scientist±practitioner stance are discussed alongside counterarguments in support of that position. Making the conceptual distinction between theoretical preference and philosophical position, three philosophies to underpin clinical psychology are outlined. It is concluded that the fundamental research to decide on the optimum stance for effective practice, and hence to inform training, is sadly lacking.
