Abstract
The recognition of physical as contrasted with psychological causes of aberrant behavior and patient distress has always been of critical concern to the practicing psychotherapist. Historically, and contemporarily, the clinical psychologist has devoted much time and effort to the development of assessment devices aimed at identifying and locating focal brain lesions, thus assisting the physician in separating brain disease and dysfunction from psychiatric disorder and mental illness. The ethical guidelines under which clinical psychologists practice, and many of the state certification and licensing laws under which they work, make specific provisions for medical supervision or consultation, apparently in acknowledgment of the variety of ways in which physical illness and disorder may present. Currently, the psychologist’s desire to be recognized and accepted as an independent private practitioner clearly requires that he or she know when to refer and defer to allied health professionals.
