C.R. Snyder and T.R. Elliott's proposed model (this issue) represents a good effort toward reexamining the premises of clinical psychology education. However, there are several concepts left underdeveloped and inadequately defined. Furthermore, their ideas for improving clinical training seem largely divorced from the model proposed. Before making propositions toward a “new clinical psychology,” clarification of the constructs and model is needed to understand how it can better educate and prepare future clinical psychologists for the demands of tomorrow's marketplaces. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
