Summary:

"The first section deals with the background of general psychology from which clinical psychology has developed as a specialty, with the professional duties of the clinical psychologist, and with his training. In the second section I have attempted an integration of American psychology in terms of an experimental, physiological tradition that made possible the emergence of a scientific clinical psychology that could work closely with medicine. In the third section I have departed somewhat from the classical Salmon tradition and discussed in practical fashion the relations between psychiatry and psychology. I have done this because of the feeling that it is high time we ceased our professional dissensions and returned to our major and mutual task of furthering mental health"--Foreword.
