Diversity training: Conceptual issues and practices for Canadian clinical psychology programs.

Conducted a systematic survey of Canadian clinical psychology programs to examine the extent and nature of diversity. Diversity was defined broadly as reflecting the vast number of possible individual differences (e.g., culture, nationality, ethnicity, colour, race, gender, religion, sexual preference, disability, economic disadvantage) that can affect clinical psychology knowledge, research, and practice. 20 Directors of Clinical Training (DCTs) at Canadian clinical psychology programs were asked about the extent to which various aspects of diversity training were deemed important or essential to their program, what training activities were required, and how effective different methods of training were viewed. The results revealed that DCTs varied widely in their opinion of how important diversity materials were, and that few programs require many different methods of training related to diversity. Further, the training methods more commonly adopted did not generally relate well with those that were seen as being most effective. Implications of the survey for training in clinical psychology are provided. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

New odds on acceptance into PhD programs in psychology.

Presents data for estimating the chances for acceptance to PhD programs in various fields of psychology. Data were obtained from a study by C. M. Stoup and L. T. Benjamin, Jr. (see record 1983-24200-001). It is concluded that reasonably well-qualified students are almost certain to be accepted into some graduate program. Implications for advising undergraduates are discussed. (4 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Odd news on acceptance into PhD programs in psychology.

Comments on J. H. Korn's (see record 1984-32529-001) data on the odds of gaining acceptance to PhD programs in psychology. The present author attempts to demonstrate that Korn's candidate/acceptance ratio is an inaccurate and misleading statistic that underestimates the severity of competition for admission to graduate programs and suggests some alternative ways to roughly estimate the amount of competition. It is argued that Korn failed to consider in his ratios that an individual's chances of getting into graduate school depend on a number of factors such as grades, test scores, recommendations, and ability to write convincing personal statements.

The dissertation in professional psychology programs: I. A survey of clinical directors on requirements and practices.

Examined dissertation policies and practices in 40 Vail-model, clinical psychology programs. A survey of their training directors revealed that 90% of programs required a dissertation, but only 25% dictated that the dissertation be empirical. Traditional experimental and correlational designs accounted for 66% of completed dissertations, and 34% reflected less traditional methodologies. All but the dissertation (ABD) rates averaged 24% 2 yrs after students' expected graduation. Dissertation methodologies were unrelated to ABD rates. Results were discussed with regard to potential obstacles to dissertation research and the need for training programs to encourage appropriate and innovative methodologies to answer relevant questions in the field of clinical psychology.

APA-approved doctoral programs in clinical, counseling, and school psychology: 1977.

APA-approved doctoral programs in clinical, counseling, and school psychology: 1979.

The Committee on Accreditation has approved the doctoral training programs in clinical, counseling, and school psychology. In the institutions listed in this article, the approved programs are directed by the department of psychology unless otherwise indicated. Programs that have not requested evaluation, and programs that have been evaluated but not approved, are not included in the list. Readers desiring information on training goals and approaches of specific programs are encouraged to write directly to the department in which the programs are offered. The criteria for evaluating these programs can be obtained from the Accreditation Office. Inclusion of an institution in this list indicates approval of doctoral programs in clinical, counseling, school, and combined professional-scientific psychology only, Inclusion or noninclusion carries no implications for other graduate programs in psychology or for programs of graduate education in other disciplines. Combined professional-scientific psychology is a new area of accreditation for programs that do not clearly fit the model for separate programs in clinical, counseling, and school psychology. This area of accreditation is defined as a combination of clinical, counseling, and/or school psychology. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

APA-accredited doctoral programs in clinical, counseling, and school psychology: 1983.

The Committee on Accreditation has accredited the doctoral training programs in clinical, counseling, and school psychology that are conducted by the institutions listed below. In the institutions listed, the accredited programs are directed by the department of psychology unless otherwise indicated. All programs, unless otherwise noted, are PhD programs. Programs that have not requested evaluation, and programs that have been evaluated but not accredited, are not included in the list. Readers desiring information on training goals and approaches of specific programs are encouraged to write directly to the departments in which the programs are offered. The criteria for evaluating these programs can be obtained from the Accreditation Office. There are three categories of accreditation. Full accreditation is awarded to any program that, in the professional judgment of the committee, meets the criteria in a satisfactory manner. Provisional accreditation is awarded to programs making initial application that, in the professional judgment of the committee, do not meet all the criteria but for which the committee believes there is a reasonable expectation that they will be met within a foreseeable period of time from the date of the initial site visit. Probation is the category into which a fully accredited program is placed when the committee has evidence that the program is not currently in satisfactory compliance with the criteria. Inclusion of an institution in this list indicates accreditation of doctoral programs in clinical, counseling, school, and combined professional-scientific psychology.
