title: An unabashedly unrealistic wish list for the education and training of psychotherapists.
abstract: Proposals for the education and training of psychotherapists are offered in a spirit of constructive good faith, yet they are unabashedly unrealistic in departing from some common canons of education and training. Seven principles are proposed as a suggested starting point for further discussion of the education and training of psychotherapists.
