title: Will clinical psychology survive in the Soviet Union?
abstract: Sovient psychologists who are working in clinics and psychiatric dispensaries call themselves "pathopsychologists," and they are, at present, in a rather difficult position. This paper will attempt to outline the position of clinical psychologists in the Soviet Union (USSR) and the nature of their problems and, also, to give an impression of (1) the tasks of clinical psychologists; (2) their struggle to regain the status of an independent profession; and (3) their struggle to keep clinical psychology an independent science.
