Stanley Rachman, known to his colleagues as Jack Durac, has had a powerful
influence on British clinical psychology. It is hypothesised that Duracic g
oonery has played a major role in the development of new treatments, as wel
l as in the training of new clinical psychologists. Objective, historical e
vidence is assembled to support the view that this Duracic spark should be
brought out into the field of scientific discourse and should not be hidden
behind more comfortable jargon. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights
