Abstract: | States that the "Principles for Education and Training at the Doctoral and Postdoctoral Level in Consulting Psychology/Organizational" (R. L. Lowman et al, Education and Training Committee, see record 2003-04049-003) are a welcome contribution to psychology. They will be useful to faculties in school psychology programs and will assist in the conceptualization and implementation of doctoral and postdoctoral programs. The Principles are complemented for anticipating the future evolution of the field. Formative suggestions are offered to have the competencies more fully address diversity issues. The author observes that information technology has brought powerful tools to all organizations, businesses, educational institutions, and governmental agencies. The consulting psychologist should understand the potential of these tools and their liabilities. The future consulting psychologist's capacity to address complex ethical situations is also addressed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
