Abstract The clinical science (CS) model was created to guide all aspects of clinical psychology as it pursues its mission of promoting psychological science in the interest of advancing knowledge, improving health care, and serving the public. The basic premise of the CS model is that a scientific epistemology should be the centerpiece of clinical psychology and is the best way forward in the advancement of psychological knowledge in the research, service, and education domains. The CS model is a strong version of the older Boulder model and a reaction to the more recent scholar–practitioner model. Adherents of the CS model have developed a robust supporting infrastructure that includes the Society for a Science of Clinical Psychology, the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science, and the Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System. Not surprisingly, the model also has stirred criticisms among some clinical psychologists; the most common of these are discussed briefly.
