Multidisciplinary Psychological Clinical Science: Charting the Path Forward
Deanna M. BarchPsychological clinical science might be one of the most uniquely multidisciplinary fields in science given the wide range of collaborations and outstanding integrative research produced by clinical scientists and their collaborators. However, despite the rich body of work being produced through such multidisciplinary efforts, there are ongoing challenges to supporting this type of collaborative work that the field must address, including how to provide the training needed to engage in this type of research, differences in dissemination approaches and venues, credit assignment for team science, and the need to value collaborative team science in the promotion and tenure process.
