“…Without such training, school psychologists will continue to operate in a direct service model. Lowman (2012), in a special CPJ issue on international organizational consulting, suggested that international organizational consulting should become less noted "for its exceptionalness and more a common part of practice and education for practice" (p. 341). Cooper (2012), Editor of the special issue, invited the issue authors to focus on whether there are "issues specific to international organizational consulting psychology different from those addressed by existing cross-cultural findings" (p. 245).…”

Over the last decade, consultation services conducted by school psychologists have been thriving in many schools, demonstrating a paradigm shift from direct services based largely on assessment of students. The literature supporting this change is reviewed. However, the lack of consistent training and supervision of practitioners in consultation skills is a cause for concern. Among the skills needed are team leadership, organizational knowledge, and relationship building. A second shift is that educational consultation is developing a global presence, as is organizational consultation in other areas.

“…The fact that many organizations, both large and small, are international in scope presents significant challenges for the experienced consultant-even more so for the newly minted consultant who has to consider both his or her consulting and international inexperience. Lowman (2012) has even suggested international consulting skills as minimal competencies for consultants because "specific locations even in isolated and would-be quiescent organizations in rural areas can still experience the impact of having to contend with internationally influenced issues" (p. 339).…”

Many clinical psychologists have been finding that consulting is a rewarding, interesting, and challenging undertaking, often changing careers to become full-time consultants. However, the role of the consultant is, in a number of ways, different than that of the clinician, requiring a dramatic change in perspective. This article by 2 consultants who made the leap discusses many of these differences. We begin by discussing some of the steps in preparing to be a consultant. In this context, we stress self-assessment and ethical considerations, along with a suggestion for acquiring basic and advanced training and note educational opportunities for the psychologist making the transition to consulting. A review of different consulting settings leads to a discussion of reframing basic assumptions to which clinical psychologists are subject. An orientation to consulting suggests that 2 topics, organizational systems and culture, can contribute to the transition process and assist in the reframing process. A table compares some issues faced by clinicians and consultants.

“…This 2012 special issue also noted that although expert observations via case studies are important, an overarching need exists for more empirical research and theory development to inform consultative practice. This need remains and is more necessary than ever because although the majority of consulting psychologists may work exclusively in their home country, the continued globalization of the work and marketplace means that consultation is likely to touch on international issues, requiring all consulting psychologists to develop basic competencies in international consulting (APA, 2017b;Fulkerson, 2012;Lowman, 2012).…”

C onsulting psychology is a broad field of practice, including the application of psychological principles or processes to achieve a wide range of objectives with individuals, groups, organizations, systems, and communities (American Psychological Association [APA], 2017b). Psychologists within any subbranch of psychology, and even nonpsychologists, may provide psychological consultation in an array of fields. This perspective is congruent with the broader vision of the APA (2019) to be "a strong, diverse, and unified psychology that enhances knowledge and improves the human condition" (p. 4).Despite a commitment by the consulting psychology field to diverse populations and needs, limited published literature is related specifically to international consulting psychology. These contributions are increasing, however, as globalization of businesses, increased interconnectedness between governments and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and an overall rise in the number of psychologists consulting internationally may prompt research and publications regarding international consultation. In the past several years, publications focused on issues related to international consultation have appeared more frequently. For example, the March 2020 special issue of the Consulting Psychology Journal featured five articles exploring the business application of consulting psychology. In one of these articles, Eyring (2020) described key lessons for a global consulting business: become fluent in multicultural interactions, balance cultural adaptation with personal and company values, embrace a global mindset, define your why, define your perfect client, find the right level of simplicity, learn how to scale yourself and your business, and pace yourself.
