The regulation of school psychology: A historical perspective on certification, licensure, and accreditation

The historical development of regulatory practices in school psychology is traced for individual and institutional credentials. Certification from state departments of education, licensure by state psychology boards, and credentials administered by professional groups such as listing in the National Register of Health Service Providers in Psychology, certification in the National School Psychology Certification System, and the diplomate through the American Board of School Psychology of the American Board of Professional Psychology are presented. National program accreditation of school psychology training programs as conducted by the American Psychological Association and the involvement of the National Association of School Psychologists in the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education Programs is also presented from its early inception to the present. Regulation is a facet of the specialty's identity that reflects its basic aspirations, and given the current state to which it has evolved in school psychology, a call is made for the integration of credentials within a comprehensive regulatory system.

It only takes one psychologist to demonstrate the impact of psychological assessment.

Evidence is needed in the field of psychological assessment of psychiatric patients to verify if test findings actually influence the clinical processes of diagnosis, treatment, case disposition, and outcome. Those who perform many assessments can conduct limited experiments to measure these effects. One such study is presented. It is a quasi-experiment in which the value of the psychologist's diagnostic recommendations to treating psychiatrists was measured. Diagnoses at admission, at subsequent psychological evaluation, and at discharge were compared among 70 patients referred to a clinical diplomate from the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP) for assessment. The psychiatrists who had referred the patient agreed with the psychologist's diagnosis in 94% of the cases. Agreement was high even when the psychologist had disagreed with the admitting psychiatrists' diagnoses. Despite imperfections in research design, the study demonstrates that solo practitioners can evaluate the impact of assessment. Other possibilities for study are presented, as are reasons for the significant findings of this study.

Therapist Self-Disclosure to Clients in Psychotherapy

This study assessed the extent to which therapists reveal information about themselves to psychotherapy clients in four areas: demographic information, personal beliefs, personal experiences, and affective experiences. Responses were obtained from 63 male Diplomates of the American Board of Professional Psychology. Disclosure occurred with equal frequency in all four areas, but disclosure of affective experiences appeared to increase overtime. Possible influences of therapist self-disclosure on intervention effectiveness are discussed.

A Comparison of Private Practice Activities of Clinical and Counseling Psychologists

A survey of 121 clinical and 47 counseling psychologists in the Philadelphia metropolitan area about their private practice activities indicated there were few differences between the two specialties. While clinical psychologists were more experienced and more likely to be diplomates of the American Board of Professional Psychology than their counseling counterparts, the two groups did not differ on other demographic characteristics. Moreover, there were few differences between the two specialties in terms of either professional activities or fees and fee policies. Overall, the results support the conclusion that counseling and clinical are more alike than different in private practice activities.
