Abstract
Treatment of psychological problems has become a billion-dollar industry and lately everyone seems to want to get in on it. Thousands of students each year apply for doctoral training in clinical psychology; the majority of these graduates will seek applied jobs. Professional schools offering a doctor of psychology degree are springing up all over. Psychiatrists, social workers, counselors, psychiatric nurses, pastors, and so on hang out their shingles. Radio and television studios offer regularly scheduled programs on which individuals can talk to a psychologist. Self-help books for psychological problems continually make the best seller list. No matter what the problem, there is no shortage of individuals who claim to be able to treat it.
