Abstract
The much-attested reluctance of clinicians to join in psychotherapy research was tested by presenting a clinically optimal proposal to 100 of the best qualified therapists in Philadelphia. Extensive interview follow-ups demonstrated a resistance so intense that probably no more than 25 percent of the clinicians could ever be recruited. Collaborative multi-group effort is seen as the best solution to this "inertia" problem.Abstract Teaser
