THERES A PLACE FOR US - ALL OF US

This presentation maintains that there is an important place within AABT for all its members, including practitioners, scientists, and scientist-practitioners. Data to support this position are presented from a large-scale membership survey and from a review of the unipolar depression treatment outcome data. Based on the conceptual and practical commonalities derived from these data, a heuristic model for understanding and treating depression is outlined. Within that framework some examples of the important interface between clinical practice and research (a cardinal characteristic of members of AABT) are presented. © 1990 Association for Advancement of Behavior Therapy.
