The viability of pediatric psychology has been of concern over the last few years. In a recent survey Brown and Roberts (2000)Go anticipated that during the next decade pediatric psychologists will be "concerned with pediatric psychology's ability to demonstrate viability, to integrate psychologists into primary care settings, and to demonstrate need for changes in reimbursement systems within managed care" (p. 5). Pediatric psychology as a recognized field has progressed during the last several decades, but there has been erosion of financial viability for practitioners.
