Community Mental Health Journal

From the standpoint of this reviewer, there is litde criticism of what was done by the investigators. Obviously, one has not had the opportunity to see what happened to the individuals, both with regard to what they did in the pursuit of their careers and their success or failure as practitioners of their chosen professions. Admittedly, that is hardly the concern of the study at hand. Knowing the characteristics with which students enter their chosen professions, their motivation in our opinion is important in Academia. It would be of even greater consequence to the future of the allied professions to ascertain what role these traits, attitudes, and drives may be expected to play in sorting out those who will bring the greatest promise of effective performance, from the standpoint of the therapeutic program they will be performing, from those who will make minimal contributions. We can only hope that these aspects will form the basis for further study that may yield better selection procedures and more effective practitioners. Morton A.
