From Leipzig to Luxembourg (via Boulder and Vail): A history of clinical psychology training in Europe and the United States.

The purpose of this paper is to provide an introduction to the profession of clinical psychology. We provide a definition and overview of the core features of the profession, followed by a description of entry requirements and education. We go on to describe the dominant models which have driven the training and practice of clinical psychologists through the latter half of the 20th century to the present day. We conclude with a look to the future of the profession and a brief consideration of opportunities and threats. Throughout we have attempted to pick out aspects of the profession that are relevant or of interest, irrespective of national differences in professional training and practice, or variations in the development of clinical psychology in particular nation states. When generalisations would be too broad to be useful or are otherwise difficult, we have provided specific information about the profession as it has developed in the UK or USA. The references should provide a rich source of further information for the interested reader.

This study investigated factors of conflicting expectations and roles of the current psychology practitioners, as well as how these factors were associated with the founding principles of the scientist-practitioner model. Data were gathered from ten published journal articles and then interpreted using an abridged metaanalysis methodology. Results revealed: (a) the scientist-practitioner model needs to adapt to survive, preferably with the aim of becoming more versatile; (b) The majority of graduate level clinical psychology training programs are based on a flawed version of the scientist-practitioner model, which renders the training inadequate and ineffective; (c) The identity of clinical psychology should remain firmly grounded in mental health care, and so not encroach on the territory of any other psychological divisions. Implications of these findings and suggestions for psychology practitioners are also discussed.

“…Similar ideas of effectiveness had also been promoted by the APA through the Boulder model in 1945 (Frank, 1984) and Vail model in 1973 (Donn et al, 2000). In those models, scientific-practitioners psychologists should design effective interventions using psychological scientific knowledge to solve different problems in professional spaces.…”

a b s t r a c tThe set of psychological techniques known as Behavior Therapy is reframed as a sociotechnical device and its circulation from the US to Colombia in the 1970s is reconstructed. The circulation of Behavior Therapy is described in academic spaces such as Universidad Nacional de Colombia and Universidad Javeriana. The possibility of Behavior Therapy as a Boundary Object as a mean for demarcation from psychiatry, and as a way for promoting and mobilizing scientific discourses about subjectivity. Thus, a relation between the training guidelines for psychology curricula known as Modelo Latinoamérica and the assemblage of Behavior Therapy is outlined. Finally, some considerations for future interdisciplinary research on the history of psychology are proposed. Keywords history of psychology; Colombian psychology; psychological technologies; boundary objects; science and technology studies r e s u M e n El conjunto de técnicas psicológicas conocido como Terapia del Comportamiento es replanteado como un dispositivo sociotécnico y se realiza una reconstrucción de su circulación desde EEUU hacia Colombia en los años 70. Posteriormente, se describe la circulación de la Terapia del Comportamiento en espacios académicos como la Universidad Nacional de Colombia y la Universidad Javeriana. Adicionalmente se discute la posibilidad de entender la Terapia del Comportamiento como un Objeto-Frontera, un medio para la demarcación con respecto a la psiquiatría, y una forma de promover y movilizar discursos científicos sobre la subjetividad. De esta manera, se delimita una relación entre los lineamientos de entrenamiento para currículos en psicología conocidos como Modelo Latinoamérica y el ensamblado de la Terapia del Comportamiento. Por último, se ofrecen algunas consideraciones para futuras investigaciones interdisciplinarias en el campo de la historia de la psicología.Palabras clave historia de la psicología; psicología colombiana; tecnologías psicológicas; objetofrontera; estudios sociales de la ciencia y la tecnología
