“…A handful of years ago, we reached the point (that I had predicted in my APA Presidential Address; Albee, 1970) where practicing clinical psychologists greatly outnumbered psychological scientists and took over the governance of the American Psychological Association. I predicted that there would be two different psychological associations, one concerned with practice, and the other concerned with science.…”

Prescribing drugs for mental disorders by psychologists means accepting an invalid model--the brain disease, biological-defect explanation of psychopathology--that is advanced by political conservatives and accepted by some naive, well-intentioned, but misinformed moderates who have not thought critically about the issue. Conservative psychiatry serves the ruling class by rejecting or ignoring the fact that most mental disorders are learned in the context of social and economic injustice, and familiar dysfunction. If we accept the fallacy of brain disease and genetic defect as the major causes of mental disorder and succeed in getting prescription privileges we will have sold our soul to the devil!

There is little doubt that psychology has left its imprint on 20th century society. There shouM also be little doubt that socioeconomic, cultural, and political trends have shaped the methods and content of the discipline to a large extent. However, an alleged immunity to ideological influences within the profession has obstructed an indepth examination of the interaction between social forces and psychology. The penetration of the prevalent ideology in the realm of psychological knowledge often results not only in an uncritical acceptance of the status quo but also in an active endorsement of it. Desiderata for a psychology at the service of social change are considered.

“…This temporal disparity in the development of the foundations of clinical psychology remains throughout the early advancements of the profession, with many of the significant developments occurring within the US, in the American Psychological Society (APS) and the American Psychological Association (APA) (e.g., Albee, 1970;Brems et al, 1991), before begin transferred and adapted in the UK by the British Psychological Society (BPS).…”

This study investigated factors of conflicting expectations and roles of the current psychology practitioners, as well as how these factors were associated with the founding principles of the scientist-practitioner model. Data were gathered from ten published journal articles and then interpreted using an abridged metaanalysis methodology. Results revealed: (a) the scientist-practitioner model needs to adapt to survive, preferably with the aim of becoming more versatile; (b) The majority of graduate level clinical psychology training programs are based on a flawed version of the scientist-practitioner model, which renders the training inadequate and ineffective; (c) The identity of clinical psychology should remain firmly grounded in mental health care, and so not encroach on the territory of any other psychological divisions. Implications of these findings and suggestions for psychology practitioners are also discussed.
