“…The task areas just described were used to examine a set of program descriptions and course lists from doctoral-lev el training programs in the following specialties: counseling PhD, clinical PhD, clinical PsyD, educational psychology (both PhD and EdD), industrial/organizational (I/O) PhD, organizational behavior/human re-sources (OB/HR) PhD, applied social psychology PhD, school psychology PhD, and social work/social services administration programs (DSW and PhD). This list overlaps the educational backgrounds of surveyed Division 13 members identified in the Robinson Kurpius et al (1995) and Hellkamp and Morgan (1990) surveys and adds two: OB/HR and social work. OB/ HR programs were added because of their substantial overlap with industrial/organizational psychology (Rentsch, Lowenberg, Barnes-Farrell, & Menard, 1997).…”

The practice of consulting psychology is associated with a definable set of professional activities; however, the vast majority of consulting psychologists are trained in non-consulting~oriented doctoral programs. The present study examined existing programs, in light of Robinson Kurpius et al.'s (1995) occupational analysis, to determine (a) the extent to which various types of doctorallevel programs prepare students to assume these roles and (b) the skill gaps that graduates from each program type would need to address. Results of these analyses are discussed, and recommendations for those interested in respecialization are provided. MethodThe review process involved the defining and synthesizing of two elements: the professional roles or tasks most relevant to CP and the courses

“…The Society of Consulting Psychology (SCP), APA Division 13, will complete a full century of professional efforts to define and advance the practice of CP in the year 2015 (Hellkamp, 1993;Hellkamp & Morgan, 1990;O'Roark, 1999;Rigby, 1992Rigby, , 1996. Scholarly activities by psychologists interested in advancing consulting gradually became sufficiently numerous to establish a knowledge and literature base specific to CP (Kurpius, 1978).…”

A Society of Consulting Psychology (SCP), survey, The Best of the Century (BoC) found Freud, Lewin, Maslow, and Argyris to have the "strongest influence on consulting psychology" in the 20 th century. Lewin, Kelly, and Levinson were identified as having the "most influence on my practice. " Organizational Diagnosis (Levinson, 1972) was considered the most significant contribution to consulting psychology literature. Modeled on the critical incident technique (Flanagan, 1954), the BoC survey asked about: (1) influences on the practice of consulting psychology (CP); (2) influences on the respondent's consulting practice; (3) books and articles that influenced CP; (4) unfinished business that will impact the future; and, ( 5) notable achievements or bluners of the 20 th century. Personality theories and intervention methods were considered the greatest achievement. "Overestimating, overselling, overemphasizing, and overdoing of behaviorism" received resounding endorsement as the blunder of the century. The pressing future need was seen as an identity issue: What differentiates consulting psychologists from other types of consultants? How can psychologists influence public perceptions of what consulting psychologists do, and can do? The caveat for the future: avoiding cookie-cutter approaches.

“…The Division of Consulting Psychology (Division 13) of the American Psychological Association has a history of leadership in identifying training and practice issues related to consultation. Members of the division have been surveyed on a number of occasions to determine information about consultants and the types of training that might be important to develop (Froehle, Fuqua, Gibson, Kurpius, & Robinson, 1989;Hellkamp & Morgan, 1990;Rigby, 1973;Robinson Kurpius etal., 1995). For example, Froehle et al (1989) and Robinson Kurpius et al (1995) concluded that there was a need for more consultation-specific course work, practicums, internships, and professional training for consulting psychologists.…”

“…To gain an understanding of the kind of training being provided across graduate programs in psychology, however, a broader sample is necessary; many faculty involved in providing such instruction may not be members of Division 13 (Hellkamp & Morgan, 1990). For that reason, Davis, Chilton, and Froehle (1997) surveyed clinical and counseling psychology faculty regarding consultation training.…”

Faculty who educate and train psychology students in consulting from clinical, counseling, school, and industrial/organizational graduate programs were identified via mail from department chairs and program directors. Of 197 faculty members identified, 89 (46.9% response rate) completed a detailed survey questionnaire about demographics and professional consulting activities, including teaching practices in consulting in their graduate program. Results were somewhat encouraging within industrial/organizational and school psychology programs and least positive in counseling/clinical programs, especially clinical programs. Detailed results are presented along with some implications for future graduate training in consulting psychology. A call is made for convening a national conference on educational standards in consulting psychology. Historically, consultants have had a specialty in clinical, counseling, industrial/organizational (I/O), or school psychology but have received little preparation in the actual process of consultation. Recently, however, formal training in consultation has received increased attention in the literature as this method of service delivery becomes a more important aspect of the role of many psychologists (Zins, Kratochwill, & Elliott, 1993). It has become clear that proficiency in consultation requires not only specialty knowledge and skills but also competency in the consultation process, a skill that frequently transcends all specialty areas in psychology. In other words, specialty area skills and expertise alone do not necessarily im-ply proficiency as a consultant (Robinson Kurpius, Fuqua, Gibson, Kurpius, & DavidT. Hellkamp is a clinical/consulting psychologist and professor of psychology at Xavier University, Cincinnati, Ohio. He is a fellow of Division 13, a former president of the Division of Consulting Psychology, and a former president of the Ohio Psychological Association. He served on the American Psychological Association Council of Representatives from 1989 to 1992. His areas of specialization in consulting are forensic psychology, sports psychology, and community psychology. He serves as an associate editor of Consulting Psychology Journal: Practice and Research. Joseph E. Zins is a professor in the College of Education at the University of Cincinnati and a consulting psychologist with the Beechwood Independent Schools. He is editor of the Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation and has published more than 115 articles, chapters, and books. He is a fellow of Divisions 13, 16,27, and 37 of the American Psychological Association. Kathleen Ferguson and Michelle Hodge both received their MA degrees in psychology from Xavier University, Kathleen Ferguson is completing her PhD in psychology at the University of Kansas.
