“…Consistent with the general training recommendations for psychologists working with children, adolescents, and families (see Roberts et al, 1998 ), specialty training for pediatric psychologists begins with the broad and general principles common to professional psychology training programs. However, because of the unique needs and circumstances of children and adolescents, these broad and general principles must be considered in a developmental context for maximum benefi t to the intended recipients of services (i.e., children, youths, and families; see Roberts, 2006 ).…”

“…Recognizing the lack of standards for training psychologists to work with youths and families, in 1981 Division 37 of the American Psychological Association commissioned a task force to develop guidelines to assist training programs develop specifi c curricula and practical experiences to ensure the competency of psychologists working with children, youth, and families (Roberts, Erickson, & Tuma, 1985 ). Building on this work, a subsequent task force commissioned by the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) produced a model for training psychologists to provide services for children and adolescents (Roberts et al, 1998 ), and the APA Practice Directorate established a task force commissioned to review and update existing recommendations for training (see La Greca & Hughes, 1999 ). Consistent with these initiatives, APA Division 54 (Society of Pediatric Psychology) later produced recommendations for specialty training in pediatric (child health) psychology (Spirito et al, 2003 ).…”

Mental and behavioural problems during childhood and adolescence are a serious publichealth concern. About half of all lifetime mental disorders begin before the age of 14 years. Worldwide prevalence rates for child and adolescent mental disorders are around 20% with similar types of disorders across cultures … the gap in mental -health services for children and adolescents with mental disorders is evident in virtually all countries at a time when the need has never been greater. (Belfer & Saxena, 2006 , p. 551) Clinical child psychology as a research and practice specialty of applied psychology seeks to investigate and remediate mental health problems for children, adolescents, and their families. Aspects of clinical child psychology are found in different countries with a broad range of populations, settings, problems, assessment, and intervention techniques. As noted in one defi nition,The research and practices of Clinical Child Psychology are focused on understanding, preventing, diagnosing, and treating psychological, cognitive, emotional, developmental, behavioral, and family problems of children. Of particular importance to clinical child and adolescent psychologists is a scientifi c understanding of the basic psychological needs of children and adolescents and how the family and other social contexts infl uence socioemotional adjustment, cognitive development, behavioral adaptation, and health status of children and adolescents. (Clinical Child Psychology Formal Specialty Defi nition, 2005 ) Several efforts and developments in the United States, as one example of formalizing the clinical child psychology specialty, include recognition as a specialty in professional

“…The competencies were developed in conjunction with the initiation of the Interdisciplinary Training Initiative for Underserved Children (ITIUC; funded by a training grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services), a CAN training program for psychology graduate students. These competencies are informed both by the broader recommendations for general and child psychology training competencies (Kaslow, 2004;Roberts et al, 1998), as well as more specific guidelines for training in CAN (APA Child Abuse and Neglect Working Group, 1996). Eight competency areas have been identified for students in the program: assessment, treatment, multidisciplinary collaboration, advocacy, ethics, research, research ethics, and professional development.…”

“…Competencies provide a standard for programs to ensure that trainees are able to apply relevant skills and knowledge in practice settings (Kaslow, Celano, & Stanton, 2005). With regard to training for psychologists, relatively broad competencies have been developed for general psychology training programs (Kaslow et al, 2004) and psychologists working with children and adolescents (Roberts et al, 1998); however, specific competencies have not been developed for training psychologists in the field of child abuse and neglect.…”

Child maltreatment is a serious threat to children's physical and psychological well-being; therefore, it is critically important to develop high-quality educational programs to train psychologists in effectively addressing child abuse and neglect. Various health care disciplines and areas within the field of psychology have established competencies as a guide for student training curricula; however, none have been established for the area of child maltreatment. The present article presents training competencies for the field of child maltreatment that have been developed from a program designed to train psychology graduate students to practice and conduct research in child maltreatment. The competencies have been divided into eight core areas including assessment, treatment, multidisciplinary collaboration, advocacy, ethics, research, research ethics, and professional development.

This problem affects both adults, as well as African American youth.…”

SUMMARYThe articles in this special issue are a significant contribution to the literature pertaining to racial socialization, which is defined as messages parents communicate about race and culture, how African Americans are perceived societally, and how to cope with discrimination due to their skin color. More specifically, these articles examine the relationship between racial socialization and parental mental health status, child socio-behavioral functioning, and the utilization of mental health and prevention services for both parent and child. Overall, the results of these articles indicate that various racial socialization practices do indeed influence key variables such as the child's behavioral functioning and decision-making, parental mental health status, and the receipt of prevention and mental health services. Implications of these findings suggest that racial socialization beliefs and practices may in fact influence the health and functioning of African American youth and families.
