Extract

When I was asked by Professor Aubrey Lewis (later Sir Aubrey Lewis) to undertake the establishment of the first school of clinical psychology in this country, and to establish a profession of clinical psychology, I went to the United States of America in order to study how this profession was organised (Eysenck, 1980a). The very hospitable reception I received did not lead me to advocate the establishment of a similar system in this country. It seemed to me that there were three major faults inherent in the American system.
