Abstract

Abstract Richard M. McFall (b. 1939) is an eminent psychological scientist at Indiana University whose integrative research bridges clinical, cognitive, and neural science and whose professional contributions have advanced both clinical science and psychological science immeasurably. His research contributions include documenting the effect of self‐monitoring on behavior; examining the components of social skills training; evaluating the role of social competence in clinical phenomena; developing the social information‐processing model; and conducting integrative research that bridges clinical, cognitive, and neural science. Professionally, McFall authored a “Manifesto for a science of clinical psychology,” developed the clinical science training model in clinical psychology, chaired the conference that led to the founding of the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science, and developed the first NIMH ‐funded training program in integrative psychological science at Indiana University. Currently, he is the executive director of the Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System.
