I have decided to start a new article on Richard M. McFall. He had a big impact on science for clinical psychology. Here are my sources:

Source 1: Great Readings in Clinical Science: Richard M. McFall wrote a "Manifesto" to help advance clinical psychology as a science called, "Manifesto for a Science of Clinical Psychology." In this article, he outlines a principle he calls the "Cardinal Principle" that says "Scientific Clinical Psychology is the Only Legitimate and Acceptable Form of Clinical Psychology." He explains this principle and the reasoning behind it basically saying that science is a method and a set of systematic procedures, and it is better than an unscientific approach of relying on intuitiveness, personal experiences, and imagination. McFall's "Manifesto" also has two propositions that he thinks advances his argument in his "Cardinal Principle." Source 2: Richard M. McFall: Richard M. McFall was born in 1939 and is a psychological scientist that help advance psychology as a science: clinically, cognitively, and neurally. His research at Indiana University helped in advancing the elements of social skills instruction, the outcome of self-monitoring on behaivor, the role of social adequacy in a clinical situation; and the social information-processing model. Today, McFall is the executive director of the Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System.
