| Item Description: | "The purpose of this book is to present an organized series of observations on the individual and responsible practice of clinical psychology. As might be expected of any professional writing, this book has its own point of view or bias. While the whole of private practice will not be delineated, this book will describe the private practice of clinical psychology based on six year's experience in this setting. Many psychologists will find procedures and methods with which they are unfamiliar or not in agreement. This tends to be usual in psychology, particularly in the clinical area. Such criticism is expected and desired. It is hypothesized that the methods to be outlined are realistic, ethical, needed, and, hopefully, effective. The first portion of the book deals with the preparation for practice in the private setting. Part II considers the specific materials and procedures necessary in the private practice. Part III indicates what would seem to be necessary responsibilities of the clinical psychologist who serves the community as an individual representative of his profession. Part IV deals with some of the practical problems involved in keeping informed of recent developments in the profession. An Appendix completes the volume, and here may be found forms and procedures which may help in understanding the details of the clinical practice being described, plus a directory of community services with which the clinical psychologist should be familiar"--Preface.
