Christopher DI read the article and it reminds me of Hans Eysenck piece on the
effectiveness pf psychotherapy especially when the author mentions that some
get cured without the
intervention of the clinician.I am not sure by what she means by scientific
training of clinicians.
I assume that clinical training involves courses that address methodology even
though that some methodologies may be more rigid than others.She seems to hint
that there must be some transfer of application from the clinical internship
paradigm to the world of actual practice.
The world of actual practice may call for different
skills in working with clients..
If clinicians depend on their own knowledge and experience,it could ne that
that the problems
presented by the clients are very contemporaneous or something that the
clinician can relate to.
I wonder if clinical scientific training could have foreseen the current
effects of the economic crises on the lives of clients. On the other hand,it
could be that just the referral process itself could be sufficient to bring
about scientific change. She had more data on clinicians and nothing on how
many clients were successfully helped.
My take.
