“…An additional analysis of geographical distribution of these job settings 6 revealed the familiar picture that about half of the counseling psychologists are in Middle Atlantic, East North Central, and Pacific states. This is in general agreement with results of other studies on general APA membership (Clower, 1952;Howard, 1958). It is also interesting to note that male members are heavily represented in New England states, while a large portion of female membeis are found in Pacific states.…”

Division 17 members were studied on the basis of the 1961 Directory. Findings include: (a) Median age in 1962 was 48-49. 82% hold doctorates a half of which were conferred by about 10 institutions. Graduate work tends to be done in the same state as but in a different institution from the one of undergraduate study. More than half hold a job at colleges and universities, (b) 25% are ABEPP diplomates, 67% among Fellows and 12% among Members. More than 10% each are holding membership in Divisions 12, 5, 8, and 15. Those working in clinical settings tend to join Division 12 also and 24% thus hold dual membership in 12 and 17.

“…The number of mental health providers across California communities was largely influenced by the total population in those areas (see Table 1). More urban areas clearly had more providers, which is consistent with the findings of previous authors examining psychologists specifically (Barker, 1966;Clower, 1952;Ellis et al, 2009;Knesper et al, 1984;Richards & Gottfredson, 1978). However, the population of a place can predict the number of psychologists and LCSWs in that place but not their concentration, whereas the concentration of MFTs is negatively correlated with the total population.…”

“…Although there is some research regarding the geographic distribution of mental health providers, this body of literature is both small and dated. Clower (1952) used data from the American Psychological Association's membership directory to quantify the distribution of psychologists across the continental United States at the state level. Clower noted that the southern states overall had the lowest concentration of psychologists but higher percentages of African Americans, lower percentages of urban populations, fewer foreign-born Whites, and fewer persons between 18 and 24 in school.…”

“…In 1950, using APA membership for population of psychologists, the ratio of psychologists per 100,000 in the United States was 4.7 (Glower, 1952). In 1968 only Mississippi was below the 1950 level.…”
