The content and discussion of the first six chapters along with some key literature provide the basis upon which the author formulates his views about accreditation, certification, and credentialing. His position is that anything done would have to lead to better evaluations, and at present there is insufficient evidence about whether accreditation, certification, and credentialing would do so. Thus, the main goal now is to gather further evidence. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc., and the American Evaluation Association.
