Description
Summary:Although the importance of promoting research in psychology program training clinics (PPTCs) has often been stated, there are no reviews that document the extent and nature of published research from these settings. We conducted a literature search, a systematic review of selected journals, and a survey of training clinic directors to identify a substantial body of published research that has been conducted in training clinics. Publications that provide useful information about PPTCs are reviewed within the following categories: the nature and organization of training clinics, client characteristics, assessment, intervention, clinical training, and research and research training. Finally, examples of PPTCs that have fostered programmatic research are cited, and recommendations are made for improving the contribution of research conducted in PPTCs to increase knowledge of these settings.
