ABSTRACT
The undersigned persons constitute the Committee as finally appointed. The Committee, because of the relatively short period that it has had to work, has limited itself in the report to presenting a recommended program of training in clinical psychology. The program presented is especially timely because of the existing ferment in the field of psychology, particularly in the area of clinical psychology. The ability to carry out effectively the combination of functions called for depends upon the clinical psychologist's being the right kind of person, a person who has a relevant informal experience background into which has been integrated the proper formal education, both undergraduate and graduate. The undergraduate program must be recognized as at most pre-professional. The professional and the more advanced courses in psychology should in general not be open to the undergraduate. The general principles which underlie the graduate program appear to clinical psychologist of primary importance—in fact much more important than the details of the program.
