This work, which questions the medical model of psychiatry as the basis of psychotherapy, seeks to help professionals return their field to an activity that is more helpful to clients, more professional, more scientific, more moral, and more psychosocial in orientation. The difficulties facing practicing psychotherapists, the causes of the problems, and a framework to guide efforts to deal with these concerns are discussed in hopes that the uneasiness of psychologists about the present direction of the field can be reduced and changed.

LAURENCE SIMON is Professor of Psychology at Kingsborough Community College of CUNY, Chief Pyschologist at Flushing Hospital Mental Health Clinic, and in private practice. He has written several articles and books on psychotherapy and the development of human personality.
