Abstract: | Do clinical child and school psychologists feel that broadening their training to include aspects of other professional child psychology specialties would enable better service provision to their clients? Do they feel that children, adolescents, and families would be better served if the 2 specialties were merged? An exploratory questionnaire was sent to a random sample of 300 members of American Psychological Association (APA) Division 16 (School Psychology) and a random sample of 300 members from APA Division 12 (Clinical), Section 1 (Clinical Child). Implications from their responses for training of psychology health service providers to children and families are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
