Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss the place of philosophy of science in the work of the local clinical scientist. Our goals are twofold. First, we provide the reader with basic background in philosophy of science so as to set a foundation for later discussion of the relationship between scientific methodologies and critical thinking in the professional psychologist. Second, we propose an extrapolation model that describes how philosophical analysis can be used to raise questions about the information a professional seeks in the local clinical situations. We use the term extrapolation as elaborated in the last chapter: It involves extending a concept beyond its existing domain of applicability into a new, or in our case, a more specific domain.
