「臨床心理士」の国家試験化をめぐって

Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to survey the qualification of clinical psychologist in our country. Recently, the social need for counseling and psychological support have been increasing day by day. But clinical psychologist has not been able to get any national qualification yet. The reasons for this phenomenon were as follows: (1) Clinical psychologists have worked in various workplaces, so there are some complicated administrative problems being got over. (2) The educational program for clinical psychologist is not established enough. (3) In our traditional culture, the general idea of charged psychological aid is not familiar enough. At length, the negotiation between the Ministry of Public Welfare and the Union of Clinical Psychologist began only a few months ago. We have to watch the turn of this event carefully.
