Description
Summary:This article begins with a retrospective review of the editorial written in 1945 by Frederick C. Thorne at the inauguration of his new publication, the Journal of Clinical Psychology. It first considers the predictions made by Thorne about the future of clinical psychology and which of these turned out to be accurate, partially accurate, or inaccurate. At the time, the editorial caused its author to be accused of anti‐Semitism and thus got the journal off to a rather bad start, from which it may have recovered only recently. The article then moves on to consider the past, present, and future of the field of clinical psychology from a contemporary vantagepoint. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
