Abstract: | Contends that health care (HC) psychology should be more strongly emphasized in graduate clinical psychology training programs so that clinical psychologists can better meet demands for services that come from society, the HC field, clinical psychology itself, practicing clinical psychologists, and clinical psychology graduate students. The relationship of clinical psychology to HC psychology and the efficacy of training in HC psychology to meet those sources of demand are described. Various means of implementing graduate programs that stress or include HC psychology are discussed. (26 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
