Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss the evolving training required for the expanding roles of clinical psychologists. We also address the boundary and professionalization issues vis-à-vis other mental health professionals, as well as the conflicting missions within various professional organizations and the American Psychological Association (APA). In addition, with a discipline founded on scientific research, we review a number of psychologists who explored clinical areas that had direct relevance to professional roles.
