All surveys of counseling psychology training programs conducted by the Council of Counseling Psychology Training Programs from 1975 through 1987 were reviewed. Descriptive statistics were calculated and analyzed for trends for the following program characteristics: student applications and admissions, matriculated students, financial aid, internship placements, and initial employment settings. Results indicate (a) distinctly different trends between APA- and non-APA-accredited programs in many program characteristics, (b) increasing female applications, admissions, and enrollments, (c)no improvement in minority student admissions, (d) increasing hospital internships, and (e) increasing initial job placements in hospitals, community mental health centers, and private practice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
