Abstract
Outlines the formal and informal attempts made by psychologists for over 10 yrs to remove barriers to the hospital practice of psychology. Included are discussions of direct interactions with the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals (JCAH), state legislative efforts, the Ohio Attorney General's antitrust suit against the JCAH, and the Federal Trade Commission's proposed investigation. Attempts to make the JCAH responsive to psychology's concerns are chronicled. (6 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved).
