Abstract

There are different schools of thought on the current uneasy relations between theory and practice in clinical psychology. Theoreticians such as Eysenck (1981) take a procedural point of view and argue that clinicians are not rigorous enough in applying learning theory procedures. Clinicians (e.g., Cullen, 1983) argue that the problems are substantive, that everyday behavior unlike laboratory behavior is a complex business requiring multi- or even megavariate control.
