It is analagous for the practice of psychology to what the doctoral dissertation represents in the student's development as a scholar. At its best, the internship should be viewed as far more than simply a require­ ment for one's degree or licensure, a rite de passage for entry into the profes­ sion. Rather, it should be regarded by students and faculty alike as a rich opportunity for personal and professional growth, the opportunity to as­ sess and even rethink one's assumptions about human behavior and psy­ chological problems in the context of different client populations, types of problems addressed, and psychological service system environments. In articulating the first formal guidelines for the accreditation of grad­ uate training programs in clinical psychology, a committee of the American Psychological Association, comprised of distinguished psychologists of their day, asked, "What are the aims of a psychological internship?" The committee replied to that question as follows: Underlying all of its aims is the principle . . . that the knowledge es­ sential to the practice of clinical psychology cannot be obtained solely from books, lectures, or any other devices which merely provide infor­ mation about people or about ways of studying them
