“…More consistent was the discussion of the training of psychologists for hospital practice. Several papers provided a description of internship programs as a part of a broader practice case description (Holzberg, Teicher, & Taylor, 1947; Quarrick, Jacobs, & Trick, 1971; Shakow, 1939) with others commenting on the internship landscape, noting large numbers of hospital-based internships (e.g., 60% of total U.S. internships; Enright et al, 1990; Tanney, 1983) and improvements in the quality of hospital-related trainings through the 1990s (Tovian et al, 2003). These papers, however, stood alongside concerns that the numbers of hospital internship opportunities were declining due to budget constraints (Bernard, 1992; Schmaling, Giardino, Korslund, Roberts, & Sweeny, 2002) and broad concerns about the lack of adequate training for hospital practice (DeGood, 1979; Olson et al, 1988).…”

Hospitals, with their unique practice constraints and opportunities, are one of the most important arenas wherein the field of clinical psychology has developed throughout its history. However, there have been few efforts to comprehensively examine the literature on this topic. This is a literature worth examining, not only out of historical interest but also in the effort to provide direction for the field. Accordingly, systematic, scoping review methods were used to address the question: What does the psychology literature tell us about the nature and evolution of psychology practice in hospitals? The review identified 115 papers on this topic dating from 1916 -2017, primarily in the form of practice commentaries and case studies. Analysis of the papers revealed 2 broad themes. One involved the nature of hospital practice, which concentrated on the major domains of assessment, psychotherapy and research activities along with issues related to training. The second involved structural and policy-related considerations such as cost-effectiveness and reimbursement models, leadership, the structure of practice, relationship to physicians, and hospital privileges. Implications of the review include the need for better data on the hospital practices of psychologists and continued work on role definition and the unique value of psychology. Other implications include direction for training models, practice models such as stepped care and a compromise between program and department-based management, privileges, and mental health reform.
