ABSTRACT
Clinical psychology, in common with its sister sciences, knows no national boundaries. Journals, texts, and international congresses reflect steadily expanding horizons of scientific and professional interests that effectively transcend geographical, linguistic, and ideological barriers. These very brief, nontechnical observations of clinical psychology abroad will be limited to some trends noted in the United Kingdom and Continental Europe, including the Soviet Union. Clinical psychology in Britain, as in the United States, is largely a post-war affair. Its growth has occurred predominantly within the context of the 1948 National Health Service. German clinical psychology has made considerable post-war strides. Projective techniques are receiving attention, especially at the University of Freiburg. Psychologists in the German Democratic Republic have developed a training program in clinical psychology at Humboldt University in East Berlin. Of major importance perhaps was the publication in Poland of an article by M. Choynowski, later excerpted in the American Psychologist.
