Abstract
The accreditation of training in clinical psychology in Spain has a short history, although distant precedents can be found. At present, students who obtain an honour’s degree in psychology can choose between two qualifications in order to practice within the Spanish health system: a master’s degree in General Health Psychology or the qualification of Specialist Psychologist in Clinical Psychology. We describe the scope for which each of these titles qualifies the individual within the profession, and also the access routes, objectives, contents and training models of the two qualifications. Additionally, we compare the Spanish accreditation in this professional field with the European accreditation, and we mention the unofficial qualifications that have no repercussion in the professional regulation. Finally, we list the problems that still exist in this field of professional accreditation, and we suggest ways of solving them.
