“…It is interesting that over 40% of programs surveyed were not offering specific training that would allow students to thrive or survive in a managed-care environment. Charous and Carter (1996) urged predoctoral psychology internships to better prepare students to function in managed-care settings. They enumerate a number of training topics that should be emphasized throughout graduate training, including training experiences in actual managed-care settings, broader preparation in assessment, and instruction in the evaluation of treatment efficacy and clinical outcomes.…”

“…Of note, only 36% of psychology internship programs currently offer training in behavioral medicine; only 2% offer substantial experience in primary care medicine (American Psychological Association [APA], 1998). Psychologists often find themselves inadequately prepared to function in health care settings, such as primary care, that emphasize collaborative care and cost-effective, time-limited, solution-focused, outpatient psychological services (Charous & Carter, 1996; Elliott & Klapow, 1997; Hoyt & Austad, 1992; Sheridan, 1999).…”

Managed health care has forced psychologists and primary care physicians to expand their practices into areas for which they have traditionally lacked training or experience. This article describes a training program designed to foster collaboration and to bridge the gap between the 2 specialties by having psychology interns and medical residents comanage patients in a primary care setting under the joint preceptorship of a psychologist and a physician. Are we training psychologists to work effectively with physicians in diverse health care settings? Are we training generalist physicians to competently assess and manage the biopsychosocial aspects of their patients' complaints? This article describes a training program designed to bridge the gap between psychology and medicine by having psychology interns and medical residents comanage patients in a primary care setting.Professional psychology is undergoing "the greatest resocialization... since the explosion of clinical psychology hi the post-World War II era" (Cummings, 1995, p. 10). To remain viable and competitive in the current health care marketplace, established practitioners as well as new graduates have had to increase the breadth and diversity of training to function more flexibly in various professional settings (Cummings, 1986;Nickelson, 1995;VandenBos, DeLeon, & Belar, 1991). The same market environment has forced primary care physicians to function in broader capacities. Indeed, it is estimated that approximately 25% of all primary care visits are for psychosocial-psychiatric needs that compromise health status (Brody & Larson, 1992;Kamerow,

“…Several psychologists have suggested that traditional predoctoral practicum sites and psychology internships may not adequately prepare trainees for the practice of psychology within the managed care context (Broskowski, 1995;Charous & Carter, 1996;Constantine & Gloria, 1998). As with education, many training programs continue to place a larger emphasis on psychotherapy without consideration of the current marketplace (Broskowski, 1995;Nathan, 1998).…”

With the advent of managed care, counseling psychologists are encountering vexing ethical issues. These issues arise not only for practitioners but for researchers, educators, and trainers as well. In this article, the authors briefly describe the evolution of managed care and review basic biomedical ethics and ethical decision-making models. The authors then examine specific ethical issues and offer suggestions for practice, research, and education and training. This article concludes with a research agenda, a review of projected general trends in health care delivery, and a discussion of counseling psychology’s role in addressing current concerns as well as influencing the future evolution of health care delivery.
