“…Administrative privileges were a point of particular contention in the accreditation actions (Enright et al, 1990; Enright et al, 1993; Litwin, Boswell, & Kraft, 1991; Zaro et al, 1982), with it being noted that as few as 3% of psychologists had administrative privileges (Dörken & Webb, 1979). This debate continued into the contemporary literature, with at least some ambiguity in the field with respect to the proportion of psychologists interested in taking administrative roles (Lechner & Stucky, 2000). These conflicts notwithstanding, very positive collaborations with psychiatry were also highlighted (Enright, 1985; Layman, 1943), usually framed as being the result of clearly articulated roles, mutual education and respect (Bush, 2005; Gunzburg, 1956; Rapaport, 1944; Stevens, 1944), and as a necessity for psychologists to develop autonomy within hospitals (Lechner & Stucky, 2000; Tovian et al, 2003).…”

“…While early examples of autonomous department models exist with implications of control over practice parameters and budgets (e.g., Seidenfeld, 1944a), coverage of this topic emerged more strongly in the 1980s and 90s. These papers discussed the benefits of psychology departments that are parallel to other hospital departments in optimizing practice leadership, avoiding the risk of relying on a psychology-friendly psychiatry executives when embedded in another department (Dörken, 1993; Drotar, 2015; Lechner & Stucky, 2000; Rozensky, 2004; Touyz et al, 1992). “Psychology must be freestanding if it is to flourish in academic health centers—Psychology in health science centers has evolved into a phase of development that demands our clear differentiation from other disciplines” (Rozensky, 2004, p. 127).…”

“…Training in administration and leadership as they relate to hospital practice were frequently noted as lacking (Good, 1992; Miller & Swartz, 1990; Stewart & Harsch, 1966; Sumerall et al, 1995; Wellner, 1968). Lastly, several papers addressed efforts to enhance and maintain hospital-specific skills of practicing psychologists such as those of the APA (Enright et al, 1993), credentialing (Lechner & Stucky, 2000), and other quality review processes (Holland, 1998).…”

Hospitals, with their unique practice constraints and opportunities, are one of the most important arenas wherein the field of clinical psychology has developed throughout its history. However, there have been few efforts to comprehensively examine the literature on this topic. This is a literature worth examining, not only out of historical interest but also in the effort to provide direction for the field. Accordingly, systematic, scoping review methods were used to address the question: What does the psychology literature tell us about the nature and evolution of psychology practice in hospitals? The review identified 115 papers on this topic dating from 1916 -2017, primarily in the form of practice commentaries and case studies. Analysis of the papers revealed 2 broad themes. One involved the nature of hospital practice, which concentrated on the major domains of assessment, psychotherapy and research activities along with issues related to training. The second involved structural and policy-related considerations such as cost-effectiveness and reimbursement models, leadership, the structure of practice, relationship to physicians, and hospital privileges. Implications of the review include the need for better data on the hospital practices of psychologists and continued work on role definition and the unique value of psychology. Other implications include direction for training models, practice models such as stepped care and a compromise between program and department-based management, privileges, and mental health reform.

“…The low portion of hospitals that reported voting membership for psychologists is concerning, given that a similar issue in the United States has been argued to have had “an adverse impact on the continuity of patient care… and implies that psychologists are less qualified than their psychiatric counterparts” (Litwin, Boswell, & Kraft, 1991, p. 322). Specifically, perceptions of inequity arise from the fact that American psychologists are often designated as allied staff and are rarely granted the same voting privileges as the hospital medical staff (Lechner & Stucky, 2000). In Canada, psychologists are similarly considered allied health professionals (Health Canada, 2011), and allied health providers and professionals in Canada are “frequently overlooked in the health care system” (Romanow, 2002, p. 103).…”

This study updates the state of knowledge regarding hospital psychology in Canada. Since 1982, two surveys have examined psychology and the role of psychologists within Canadian hospital settings; the most recent information was collected in 1999. Since 1999, the structure of Canadian health care has continued to change and develop, and the resulting impact on the status of hospital psychology remains unknown. This article presents information collected from 76 acute care facilities across Canada with respect to the provision of psychological services within the hospital setting, education levels, scope of practice, salary range, organisational structure, and criteria for hiring employees and accepting residents. Results indicate that the range of services offered by hospital psychologists has not undergone significant expansion since 1999, although changes in employee remuneration, theoretical orientation, and administrative models are evident.

Professional preparation of pediatric school psychologists for school‐based health centers

Psychology in the Schools

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The growth of school-based health centers parallels the development of the subspecialty of pediatric school psychology. School psychologists have had minor roles in most school-based health centers. In many cases, school psychologists with training in the foundation of school psychology do not have the specific skills to meet the role and function in a school-based health center. However, there is a niche for the skills that can be provided by a school psychologist with subspecialty training in pediatric school psychology. A description of the potential roles for school psychologists in school-based health centers is presented. The professional preparation beyond foundation school psychology training required to succeed in these roles is discussed. A detailed model for predoctoral internships and postdoctoral residencies for the professional preparation of pediatric school psychologists is presented. With this advanced level of training, school psychologists are well prepared to meet the expanded role and function required in school-based health clinics.
