“…Furthermore, psychologists working in emerging health care delivery systems must be adept at providing informed psychological assessment and interpretations at all levels of health care delivery. This involves the strategic use of assessment devices at the individual level of service delivery as well as at the higher echelons where decisions are made concerning resource allocation, formation of health care policy, seamless continuum of service delivery across the life span and across acute care episodes, and overall integration of psychological services into health systems (Elliott & Klapow, 1997;Elliott & Shewchuk, 1996;Elliott & Shewchuk, cited in Johnstone et al, 1995).…”

Many people who are considered for rehabilitative services participate in a psychological assessment. This assessment ideally informs decisions concerning need for services, the expense that accompanies sponsorship, and the provision of assistive equipment that can enhance quality of life. Psychological assessment is of particular importance during this era when many health care delivery systems limit access to care, which in turn can result in higher costs associated with the subsequent treatment of preventable conditions. Unfortunately, many psychologists are not trained to face the issues inherent in the assessment of persons with physical disabilities. These problems exist despite the original mandates of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 for psychologists to have the rudimentary skills to conduct informed assessments of people with disabilities. In fact, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 clearly stipulates that assessment may be necessary for the determination of eligibility and "vocational rehabilitation needs'' and that the assessment might include the evaluation of "personality, interests, interpersonal skills, intelligence and related functional capacities. .. vocational aptitudes, personal and social adjustments and. .. other pertinent. .. cultural, social,. .. and environmental factors that affect the employment and rehabilitation needs of the individual" (Sec. 504, Rehabilitation Act of 1973). Generally, assessment of personality and psychological adjustment are included within an informed and comprehensive battery, yet differences in qualifications and training can result in the differential use of these instruments and subsequent interpretation of results. For example, whereas classically trained clinical psychologists are sensitive to displays of psychopathology and aberrant behaviors, neuropsychologists focus intently on This work was support in part by Grants HI33B30025-96 and H133N50009-96A from the National lnstitute on Disability Rehabilitation and Research.

“…Psychologists must address issues of accessibility to service; the timing of service delivery; the accountability of providers for services, practices, and expenditures; and the affordability of services to the system, patients, and payers (Kaplan, 1996). Therefore, rehabilitation psychologists must be involved at the highest levels of all health care service delivery systems, using research and clinical expertise to inform the rational use and allocation of resources that support clinical activity (Elliott & Klapow, 1997;Elliott & Shewchuk, 1996). Theory-based science serves psychologists well in this regard; they cannot, however, be held hostage by tradition t o limited, parochial roles at the lowest levels of any health care service delivery system (Elliott & Shewchuk, 1996).…”

“…Over the past several years, the academic preparation of psychologists for work in rehabilitation settings has been the subject of considerable debate (e.g., Elliott, 1993;Elliott & Gramling, 1990;Elliott & Klapow, 1997;Kelley & Schiro-Geist, 1992;Olshansky & Hart, 1967;Pape & Tanydas, 1993;Walker, 1992;Wegener, Hagglund & Elliott, 1998). The primary focus of the debate is on the primacy of training in psychological science versus core training in rehabilitation psychology principles, concepts, and functions.…”
