心理学家目前在社区和公共心理健康环境中的代表性不足，尽管先进的培训和能力在公共部门的各种独特和重要的职能中非常突出。本文将探讨这些功能，包括：转型为以恢复为导向的护理，提供积极的行为支持，实施和评估以证据为基础的干预措施，应用学术指导实践，强调背景，治疗关系，和历史的治疗干预，提供培训，教育，计划开发和评估，以及发展的领导和领导培训系统的护理。为了说明这些，作者分享了具体的临床应用，提供了心理学家在这些角色中的服务，目的是为其他组织提供例子，以增加心理学家在公共部门的代表性。最后，通过倡议，如贷款减免和其他经济奖励的潜在机会进行了简要探讨，作为可能的机制，以实现这一目标。
Psychologists are currently underrepresented in community and public mental health settings, despite the advanced training and competencies that are salient for service in various unique and important functions in the public sector. This article will explore those functions including: transformation to recovery-oriented care, delivery of positive behavioral support, implementation and evaluation of evidence-based interventions, application of scholarly guided practice, emphasis on context, therapeutic relationship, and history in therapeutic interventions, provision of training, education, program development and evaluation, and development of leadership and leadership training in systems of care. To illustrate these, the authors share specific clinical applications that provide a picture of psychologists serving in these roles, with the aim of providing examples for other organizations to increase the representation of psychologists in the public sector. Finally, the potential opportunities through initiatives such as loan forgiveness and other economic incentives are briefly explored as possible mechanisms to achieve this aim.
