40多年来,研究人员一直在研究美国心理学协会(阿帕)临床心理学部门的成员,以获得有关他们的人口统计学特征,教育经历,理论方向,就业环境,专业活动,出版历史和职业满意度的信息。我们总结了最新研究的结果(N= 694,46%的返回率)在历史背景下的先前的发现,可以追溯到1960年。我们提供美国临床心理学的当代和历史肖像。其中最显着的趋势是女性心理学家的稳步增长,心理评估一般下降,特别是投射测试,模态折衷/整合的方向是由认知方向相媲美,高职业满意度的模式,并继续热情的博尔德模型。(c)2005 Wiley Periodicals,Inc.
For more than 40 years researchers have studied the members of the American Psychological Association's (APA) Division of Clinical Psychology to obtain information about their demographic characteristics, educational experiences, theoretical orientations, employment settings, professional activities, publication histories, and career satisfactions. We summarize the results from the most recent study (N= 694, 46% return rate) in the historical context of the previous findings, dating back to 1960. We provide both contemporary and historical portraits of American clinical psychology. Among the most notable trends are a steady increase in female psychologists, a decline in psychological assessment in general and projective testing in particular, the modal eclectic/integrative orientation being rivaled by the cognitive orientation, a pattern of high career satisfaction, and continued enthusiasm for the Boulder model.
