“…Other publications (e.g., APA Monitor, Professional Psychology) primarily cover professional issues of importance to the practitioner. American Psychologist, which publishes articles dealing with broad aspects of psychology, often contains articles on professional issues (e.g., Overcast, Sales, & Pollard, 1982) as well as articles about patient populations (e.g., Vaillant & Milofsky, 1982) and treatment (Landman & Dawes, 1982), all of which are useful to practitioners.…”

A national sample of full-time private practitioners in psychology was asked to list in order of importance professional journals of most use to them in their practices. One hundred twenty practitioners mentioned a total of 113 publications, which indicates the diversity of interests among private practitioners. The publications were ranked in terms of the num. her of endorsements each received, and the top 10 publications listed were compared with the top W journals endorsed by full-time private practitioners in a 1975 survey (Koulack & Keselman, 1975).

“…As they noted, it was not until 1975 that the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the argument that Congress had intended to exempt the professions from antitrust scrutiny, even while acknowledging that "it would be unrealistic to view the practice of the professions as interchangeable with other business activities, and automatically to apply to the professions antitrust concepts which originated in other areas" (Goldfarb v. Virginia State Bar, 1975, p. 788).

In response to significant change in the health care market, federal antitrust agencies recently examined their past policies and future directions for antitrust law enforcement in the health care industry.

Finally, we argue that narrowly crafted antitrust reform would provide practicing psychologists and other health professionals with some degree of countervailing bargaining power in their negotiations with managed care.

As Overcast, Sales, and Pollard (1982) described it: The traditional basis for professional self-regulation was that consumers should look to the profession rather than to competitive forces to ensure the highest level of quality in practitioners and services. Traditional antitrust doctrine, however, flatly rejects this premise.…”

Public policy reflects doubt about the effectiveness of professional self-regulation. Alternatives to professional self-regulation have come to the fore, as documented by increased governmental (licensing) regulation and escalation of legal (malpractice) actions. Recommendations are made for reaction and proaction by school psychologists.* EDITOR'S NOTE: This article is the "Keynote" for the new section "Regulation of Professional School Psychology," which will include material on public policy, ethical, governmental, forensic, and legal issues. Manuscripts are invited for consideration for use in this section.
