It is a challenging and intimidating task to comment on the thoughts of several prominent leaders in the field of psychotherapy research and training. For many years I have turned to their scholarly writings for guidance, insight, and understanding. I have also urged my students to read their articles and books, to attend their presentations, and to listen carefully to the reports of these experts about the state of psychotherapy. In the present context Drs. Watkins and Guarnaccia have invited this impressive group of experts to offer their views on the direction in which psychotherapy training is moving and the particular implications of these trends for psychotherapy educators and training programs. To paraphrase the once popular television commercials about an American investment company, "When Levenson, Strupp, Mahrer, Boulet, and Beutler talk, people listen." When thinkers of this stature share their wisdom, I listen carefully, and I urge my colleagues who are involved in psychotherapy training to do the same. In my brief comments, I will discuss some of the challenges that we educators face and attempt to offer some recommendations that are based, in part, on the views of these contributors.
对心理治疗研究与培训领域的几位杰出领导者的思想进行评论，是一项具有挑战性且令人望而却步的任务。多年来，我一直研读他们的学术著作以获取指导、洞察和理解。我也敦促我的学生阅读他们的文章和书籍，参加他们的讲座，并仔细聆听这些专家关于心理治疗现状的报告。在当前背景下，沃特金斯博士和瓜尔纳恰博士邀请了这一令人钦佩的专家团队，就心理治疗培训的发展方向以及这些趋势对心理治疗教育工作者和培训项目的具体影响发表看法。套用曾经一则关于美国投资公司的热门电视广告来说：“当莱文森、斯特鲁普、马赫勒、布勒和比尤特勒说话时，人们都会倾听。”当如此杰出的思想家分享他们的智慧时，我会仔细聆听，我也敦促参与心理治疗培训的同事们同样如此。在我的简短评论中，我将讨论我们教育工作者面临的一些挑战，并尝试提出一些部分基于这些撰稿人观点的建议。
