Paradigmatic Modeling

Paradigmatic modeling is the synthesis of the boulder (BM) and vail (VM) models. Where the former is practiced by scientist-practitioners, and the latter, practitioners-scholars, the product of their synthesis follows logically from the scientific through practice to scholarly pursuits. Elemental beliefs, views, and traditions of both models combine to form a paradigmatic model (PM). Methods based on paradigmatic modeling view philosophy as both a science and art. While the matter of philosophy is scientific, philosophy’s form is artistic.

Boulder

The BM having been first developed by academicians, introduced by the Shakow Commission in 1947, and latter refined during the 1949 Boulder conference, the BM was intended to serve as framework for training graduate students in clinical psychology programs (Thrnbull & Dietz-Uhler, 1995).

Thrnbull and Dietz-Uhler (1995) describe the BM as utilizing courses, seminars, fieldwork, and research it its training programs we are able to extend the BM applicability beyond academic settings into to the field of practice.
