Abstract The scientist‐professional model offers an important heuristic and functional perspective for clinical psychology as an independent, autonomous discipline within general psychology. Alternative models of training may be inadequate for preparing future generations of clinical psychologists to deal in a competent and innovative fashion with the expanding set of roles and emerging applications in research and practice. These include behavioral medicine, group technologies, and primary prevention. Practical implications of these developments are discussed from the perspective of a scientist‐professional.
