Abstract: An attempt is made to differentiate clinical psychology from both psychiatry and applied psychology. Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis are considered as autonomous disciplines requiring specific training. The clinical psychologist has little to gain by identifying his particular field of endeavour with that of psychotherapy. A psychologist's clinical work follows a set of standards and a frame of reference which are not identical, though not incompatible, with clinical psychiatry. Owing to his particular qualifications, the psychologist seems to be eminently suited for research and basic theory in the behavioural sciences.
