Literature suggests that a complex and often hostile relationship exists between the science and practice of clinical psychology. Contributors to this conflict of viewpoints are reconsidered within the proposition that there are different roads to discovery and that there may be good reasons to keep the science and practice of clinical psychology somewhat separate. Results of a national survey of 325 psychologists are reviewed that support the view that psychological practitioners value research and consider their practices to be augmented by scientific findings. However, they are in need of vehicles of communication that will help them translate scientific findings into practice. Results suggest that practitioners do more to understand scientific findings than scientists do to understand the problems that face clinical practitioners. Ways to facilitate communication between and among these groups are considered.
文献表明，临床心理学的科学与实践之间存在着复杂且往往充满敌意的关系。在存在不同发现途径且可能有充分理由使临床心理学的科学与实践保持一定程度分离这一观点下，重新审视了导致这种观点冲突的因素。对325名心理学家进行的全国性调查结果进行了回顾，这些结果支持了这样一种观点，即心理从业者重视研究，并认为科学发现会增强他们的实践效果。然而，他们需要有助于将科学发现转化为实践的交流渠道。结果表明，从业者在理解科学发现方面所做的工作比科学家在理解临床从业者所面临的问题方面所做的工作更多。文中还考虑了促进这些群体之间交流的方法。
