While medicine moved from a training based in proprietary schools to university-based education and board specialty examinations during the early part of this century, psychology has seemed to move in the opposite direction during the past 20 years. Clinical Neuropsychology, as a specialty, has established training and practice guidelines, and more recently, produced an integrated model of education and training, not unlike the models developed by medicine and its specialties. Nevertheless, there are pressures within the field of Psychology in general, and Clinical Neuropsychology in particular, to abrogate standards and weaken credentials. These pressures are seen as stemming from prioritizing the interests of the practitioner over the needs of the patient and the profession. The thesis is presented that upholding standards leads to the benefit of the patient and the long-term health of the profession.
在本世纪初医学从基于私立学校的培训转向基于大学的教育和专业委员会考试之际，心理学在过去20年里似乎朝着相反的方向发展。临床神经心理学作为一个专业领域，已经制定了培训和实践指南，最近还产生了一个综合的教育和培训模式，这与医学及其专业领域所开发的模式并无不同。然而，总体而言，心理学领域，尤其是临床神经心理学领域，存在着废除标准和削弱资质的压力。这些压力被视为源于将从业者的利益置于患者和专业领域的需求之上。本文提出的观点是，坚持标准会给患者带来益处，并有利于该专业领域的长期健康发展。
