The Psychologist in the Clinic Setting [I948]

CHAIRMAN: There is a great diversity of clinic settings. Constantly, however, something is happening which some of us may be overlooking because we are part of the events. I refer to the evolution which has been taking place in the clinic set-up. From earlier ideas as to the roles of the professional personnel, there have been important shifts in thinking. The shifts have been both to the left and to the right; they have drawn clearer lines about our early, vague formulations and have also opened up some new vistas as to the potential of each discipline in the unit as a whole. On our panel is one member who has been in a strategic position to observe this evolution. In fact, he has himself been responsible for some of the events. This is the next speaker, Dr. David Shakow.
