Abstract
Points out the major discrepancy between what passes for "cognitive" in the clinical area and what is denoted by the same word as understood by cognitive psychologists.
The examples from the authors' own research illustrate how they borrowed 3 tools from cognitive science and 1 tool from neuroscience in an effort to advance understanding of 3 clinical problems (men's sexually coercive behavior; eating disorders among women; and children's peer-group relations). The purpose in describing their own research , as well as additional examples, was to highlight the potential benefits of bringing clinical science into closer alignment with contemporary theories and methods of cognitive an neural science. The authors believe that theses examples illustrate the potential power of hybrid clinical-cognitive-neuroscience models. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2009 APA, all rights reserved)
