Abstract
Since its inception in the 1940’s clinical psychology in the United Kingdom has undergone a series of changes (Hetherington, 1981). If anything the rate of change and development has been accelerating, the publication of the Trethowan Report (DHSS, 1977) being particularly important in providing further impetus to the diversification in the practice of the profession. In addition to their traditional service role in psychiatry and mental handicap, clinical psychologists now provide input to a variety of medical specialties, from paediatrics to geriatrics and cosmetic surgery to orthopaedics. Practitioners now respond to a range of health needs at a community level and come into contact with a wide variety of clients and many other disciplines.
