Clinical psychology currently exists in a state of isolation from the other scientific domains. This disconnect is explained, in part, by the continued adherence to mind-body dualism by many clinical psychologists and the rift between researchers and practitioners within the discipline. However, natural science researchers are reasserting the connection between physical and biological properties and psychological phenomena. As a result, knowledge and skill pertaining to the scientific method will become increasingly important in the education of future clinical psychologists. Modifications to both undergraduate and graduate training are suggested.
临床心理学目前处于与其他科学领域相隔离的状态。这种脱节部分是由于许多临床心理学家持续坚持身心二元论,以及该学科内部研究者与从业者之间的分歧。然而,自然科学研究者正在重申物理和生物属性与心理现象之间的联系。因此,与科学方法相关的知识和技能在未来临床心理学家的教育中将变得越来越重要。本文建议对本科和研究生培训进行修改。
