“…Miranda and Olivo () explained how people use the term urban to refer to settings that have a large racial minority population, high crime, high poverty, and low‐quality educational systems. On the other hand, Edwards and Sullivan () explained that people living in rural areas are also broadly characterized as being largely White, politically conservative, religious, and having a mistrust of outsiders. Therefore, urban and rural have evolved to become cultural constructs similar to race, language, and socioeconomic status.…”

“…Furthermore, school psychologists in urban schools report that their greatest challenges are the large caseload, lack of resources/funds, lack of administrative support, and high demand for evaluations (Graves et al., ). School psychologists in rural areas have some similar challenges including limited resources and high caseloads (Edward & Sullivan, ), but they also have the unique challenge of not being able to recruit and retain enough school psychologists. This shortage has led to the rise of services such as telepsychology (Nelson, Bui, & Velasquez, ).…”

“…Therefore, there is little to no evidence on how to best prepare school psychologists to serve students in urban and/or rural contexts. Of the research that is specific to geographic context, most of it tends to focus on urban and/or suburban contexts (Edwards & Sullivan, ). Although school psychology training for specific geographic contexts is limited, we do have evidence to support the types of skills school psychologists need to serve minority populations in these settings (Newell et al., ).…”

The purpose of this study was to analyze the extent of training in multicultural assessment, intervention, and consultation of school psychologists in urban and rural contexts. Although there is greater cultural and sociodemographic diversity in urban settings as compared to rural settings, it is unknown whether school psychologists in urban settings have more training than school psychologists in rural contexts to assess, consult, or intervene in these multicultural settings. For this reason, 86 school psychologists in rural and urban contexts were surveyed about their training in multicultural assessment, consultation, and intervention. Results indicated that, overall, the school psychologists had little to no training in multicultural assessment, intervention, and consultation. However, school psychologists in urban context did indicate significantly higher level of training in multicultural intervention. Implications for multicultural training are discussed.

“…The values of self-reliance and a strong work ethic are important to maintain (Cohn & Hastings, 2013). Church affiliations are also of high importance in most rural communities (Cohn & Hastings, 2013;Edwards & Sullivan, 2014;Ford, 2015). Elders and authority figures in the community are treated with a formality (e.g.…”

“…Economic conditions in rural locations are deteriorating with fewer available jobs. There has been a decline in factories and family farms, which have been the cornerstone of many rural communities (Edwards & Sullivan, 2014). Because of their remote location, residents in rural communities often pay a higher cost for goods and supplies and may have more difficulty accessing health services, large libraries, museums, and higher learning institutions (Hines, 2002).…”

, the Ihle's, the Lane's, Lucie Laurian, the Mason's, and the Watson'swho provided laughter, reminders to breathe, encouragement, and the occasional editing throughout this process. In particular, I would like to thank my mom, Janet, for teaching me to value education and reminding me throughout my life that there was nothing I couldn't accomplish. I would also like to thank Doug and Carol Watson for never hesitating to show love and support from the moment I proposed beginning this crazy doctoral journey. And, last but not least, I want to acknowledge the amazing support from my husband, Michael, and daughters, Morgan and Kendall. There is nothing more motivating than hearing one of your children say, "You can do this, Mom!" Finally, I would like to acknowledge my fellow doctoral students at the University of Iowa. Each of you has pushed me to think about subjects in a different way, to question what I "know", and wrestle with my own place in the system. I would especially like to thank, Dan Liwho started this journey with me and continues to serve as my check point, Taryn Richardsonwhose quick check-ins mean more than she will ever know, and

Psychology and Rural Contexts

Psychology has traditionally neglected the specific needs of rural communities. This paper reviews the situation of psychology in rural areas and discusses the need for a ruralpsychology. An open internet review using Google search engine and 'rural psychology' as key word was conducted, as well as an academic literature review. Results show that psychology tends to be framed in urban terms and that rural communities have particularities that call for a contextualized approach and not a mere reproduction of urban practices. In order for rural psychology to become a relevant area of debate, it has to demonstrate real and practical usefulness, put into question assumptions that implicitly frame mainstream psychology in urban terms, and generate training programs for psychologists.
