Abstract

I expand the efforts to overcome compartmentalization of clinical psychology by reversing the notion of causality to that of resistance, and specify the structure of such resistance. Clinical practices produce psychological knowledge of general kind that leads to the adoption of the basic world view of idiographic science as the basic framework for systemic analysis of generic cases and thus feeds forward to further improvement of the clinical practices. Three directions for the future are outlined: clinical psychology builds on the systemic efforts of idiographic science, used historically structured non-random sampling of lived-through experiences, and situates its generalized knowledge within life-course developmental perspectives.
