Training and professional development of Japanese clinical psychologists

以下研究是为了探讨日本临床心理学家的培训和专业发展相关问题而进行的。对相关文献进行了综述。得出的结论是，日本缺乏对这一专题的研究。考察北美的辅导员培训项目可能会证明是有成效的。访谈进行了临床心理学教师和临床心理学家不到3年的研究生院的经验。导师们很容易描述研究生院学生的积极和消极经历;然而，最近的毕业生很难描述他们的同龄人的消极经历。有人认为两组人对研究生院培训经历的看法不同。3.本研究以三个实验来探讨共情反应训练的效果。体验式培训是最有效的，辅导员被邀请回忆她自己的沮丧经历。讨论了与实验效果的测量以及与研究参与者的培训有关的问题。五名临床医生被要求观看临床会议，并对临床医生关于会议的口头表达进行分析，以定性地确定他们的病例概念化技能差异归因于参与者的临床经验。并提出资料分析与临床经验定义之相关问题，作为未来研究之课题. 10名临床医生进行了采访，探讨职业转型的情况。讨论了与工作环境、专业领域和非正式支助团体的作用有关的问题。

The following studies were conducted to explore issues pertinent to training and professional development of Japanese clinical psychologists.1. Reviews of relevant literature were conducted. It was concluded that there is a dearth of research on this topic in Japan. Examining counselor training programs in North America may prove fruitful.2. Interviews were conducted of clinical psychology instructors and clinical psychologists with fewer than 3 years of post-graduate school experience. The instructors readily described positive as well as negative experiences for students in graduate school ; however, the recent graduates had difficulty delineating negative experiences fix their peers. It was suggested that the two groups differed on their perceptions of training experiences in graduate school.3. Three experimental studies were conducted to examine the effects of empathic response training programs. The experiential training where the counselor was invited to recall her own depressing experiences proved to be the most effective. Issues related to the measurement of experimental effects as well as those pertaining to the training of research participants were discussed.4. Five clinicians were asked to watch clinical sessions, and the clinicians' verbalizations about the sessions were analyzed to qualitatively ascertain their case conceptualization skills Differences were attributed to the participant' clinical experiences. Issues concerning data analysis and the definition of clinical experience were proposed as topics for further research.5. Ten clinicians were interviewed to explore instances of career transition. Issues related to work environment, areas of specialization, and the roles of informal support groups were discussed.
