Goonery in British clinical psychology: the Duracic spark.
Stanley Rachman, known to his colleagues as Jack Durac, has had a powerful influence on British clinical psychology. It is hypothesised that Duracic goonery has played a major role in the development of new treatments, as well as in the training of new clinical psychologists. Objective, historical evidence is assembled to support the view that this Duracic spark should be brought out into the field of scientific discourse and should not be hidden behind more comfortable jargon.
