Preface
The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with a survey of some of the major
areas of clinical psychology. No attempt has been made to include every area relevant to
clinical psychology; the choices are selective but represent the wide range of areas
touched by clinical psychologists.
For some years I have felt the need for a book that provides students with more of a
historical introduction and context from which to view current clinical psychology
than is included in most textbooks. The issues and problems of clinical psychology have
been with us since the beginning of time; however, most psychological literature is
written with the bias that anything older than five or ten years is not relevant. Those
who attempt to take a long-range view of clinical psychology are sometimes able to
recall the early development of the field in the 1930s and 1940s.
In this text, I asked the authors to begin with a brief survey of ancient and medieval
history to set the stage for a discussion of current research and developments in the
field. I hope that a presentation of this sort will provide the reader-whether advanced
undergraduate, graduate, or professional-with a sense of perspective and context
from which to view and understand clinical psychology. In writing to the authors, I
asked them to do all of the above and, in addition, to attempt to make their chapters
highly readable and interesting-which unfortunately is not always the case with
psychological literature. The final instruction to the authors was that they had to
accomplish all of this in 50 to 75 pages. Obviously, to treat each subject covered in the
book thoroughly would require a volume or two for each chapter. To attempt to do all of
this in one chapter requires that one survey and selectively report rather than attempt
to exhaustively review and summarize all literature.
We are fortunate in this volume to have some of the most outstanding clinical
psychologists and researchers in the field as authors. They each have attempted to fulfill
the above goals in an area in which they have labored a great part of their lives. Our hope
is that this book will accomplish its task to the extent possible in one volume.
