“…Several steps were involved to ensure quality in the development of the questionnaire used in the present survey. We first reviewed several existing survey instruments (e.g., Curtis, Zins, & Poati, 1988; Froehle et al, 1989; Hellkamp & Morgan, 1990). After identifying the objectives of the study through brainstorming sessions, including looking at the other survey questionnaires, we finalized the first draft of the survey.…”

“…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.…”

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.

“…This research area addresses what consultants do and what training for consultation entails (e.g., Brown, Spano, & Schulte, 1988). Survey is the most likely approach to studying consultant practice although case studies and observational techniques are conceivable (Alpert & Yammer, 1982;Froehle, Fuqua, Gibson, Kurpius, & Robinson, 1989;Gresham & Kendell, 1987;Meade et al, 1982).…”

“…Nutt (1976), for example, surveyed a sample of 300 Division 17 (American Psychological Association; APA) members and reported that 15% of time on the job was spent in consultation activities. More recently a sample of Division 13 (APA) respondents whose consultation activities were associated with their primary work setting reported that they spent 51 hours per month doing consultation (Froehle et al, 1989). The figure dropped to 9 hours per month for individuals who provided their consultation services through a secondary work setting.…”

The authors promote the application of research findings to consultation and suggest directions for practice-relevant consultation research. The authors suggest that consultation research is in an early evolutionary stage and that further development depends on resolving several fundamental issues. Three approaches to consultation research are discussed: naturalistic studies, single-case designs, and alternative means of determining significance. Representative research in three areas of interest (consultant practice, consulting process, and consultation interventions) is reviewed, and criteria for evaluating research are discussed. The authors conclude with comments on operationalizing the scientist-practitioner ideal in consultation research and practice.Electronic Journal: To print this article select pages 101-107. TOC

1992 was the celebrated 100th anniversary of the American Psychological Association. The Division of Consulting Psychology had the distinction of celebrating two birthdays in 1992, it's 67th birthday if one dates the origin of the Division of Consulting Psychology to Article XI of the By-Laws ofAPA or it's 46th birthday if one dates it's birth (or rebirth) as a Division in APA to 1946. Wilbur Rigby (1992 has documented an early history of Division 13 , whereas my focus will document aspects of the more recent history of the Division (1972-present). Within the realm of oximorons, this paper might be titled a "modern history" of Division 13. Definitions of Consulting PsychologyIn the early to mid-1970's, the Executive Board of the Division of Consulting Psychology focused on a review of the organization. The officers, committee members and former leaders of Division 13 were asked to re-evaluate the role of the Division, including trying to identify acceptable
