title: A Healthy New World: Emergent Opportunities for Clinical Psychologists in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
abstract: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is radically transforming the health and mental health care landscape. Emergent opportunities exist for clinical psychologists to redefine their role in healthcare. We reflect on the Chor and colleagues article (this issue) elucidating key issues for psychologists, and present additional recommendations for consideration. Specifically, we highlight three points: (1) moving beyond just training and hoping; (2) recovery, not just symptom reduction; and (3) it's a healthy new world. Under each of these points, we suggest tactics for how to achieve these goals.
