摘要
The author describes a vision of psychology's future as a health profession. In broadening its focus from mental health to a range of health issues, the profession is faced with a number of challenges related to establishing its identity, ensuring public confidence, and participating in the health care system. Specific imperatives include the need to articulate the core competencies of health service psychologists, assure quality in preparation and practice, and work collaboratively with other professions while participating actively in the redesign of the health care system.
