Abstract
The recomendations put forth in the target article,"Twenty-First Century Graduate Education in Clinical Psychology: A Four Level Matric Model" (C.R. Snyder & T.R. Elliott, this issue, pp.xxx-xxx), should be regarded in the context of the large need to develop a more progressive and effective discipline. No amount of "brute force" educationand empiricism is certain to solve the problems of the scope of our field identified by the authors. Eleven rules are offered and defended that may lead to a more practically and empirically successful field.
