Abstract

It is impossible to understand the history of clinical health psychology without first describing some developments in mainstream clinical psychology, psychiatry, and medicine in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. So we will start with those and then shift to health psychology and clinical health psychology, in particular. The second major section will discuss issues about generalist versus specialist training and the role of the clinical health psychologist in primary and specialist medical care as they have evolved over time.
