title: Can a matrix make a training model?: "no." Let's not throw out the Boulder model.
abstract: In response to the call by C.R. Snyder and T.R. Elliott (this issue, pp. 1033-1054) for a new clinical training program, I propose the need to keep the Boulder model. I trace my involvement with the Boulder model from my clinical graduate training through my 30 years as a professor. One of the major tasks of clinical training is to teach graduate students to think in a critical rigorous fashion in order to avoid the fads in the mental health field.
