Zusammenfassung:Comments on L. T. Benjamin, Jr.'s article (see record 2001-18061-002) that reviewed unsuccessful attempts to form a core curriculum for standardizing graduate education in psychology. The author discusses the National Standards for the Teaching of High School Psychology. It is argued that this approach, in contrast with the initiatives reviewed by Benjamin, defines the curricula using competencies rather than courses while establishing a longitudinal and coherent sequence of professional development to become a psychologist.
