“…Recently, concern about the supply of and demand for psychologists has grown (Cummings, 1996a; Eubanks, Goldberg, & Fox, 1996; Frank & Johnstone, 1996; Frank & Ross, 1995; Stricker, 1997). On the basis of an anecdotal appraisal of a flat job market, Matthews (1996) questioned the ethics of accepting trainees in neuropsychology and health psychology, among other areas, when there are “literally no jobs available.” Addressing such concerns requires better data, including more sophisticated tracking of the number of psychologists (Kohout, 1994; Peterson et al, 1996).…”

The psychology workforce continues to expand despite changes within health care, such as managed care, that appear to reduce the demand for psychologists' services. Data from doctoral training and internship training are reviewed. Estimates of the psychology workforce are provided, including the authors 1 survey of psychology boards for 1995, which estimated there were 89,514 licensed psychologists in the United States. Growth in the field between 1988 and 1995 is estimated at 44%. Workforce estimates are applied to 3 HMO staffing models and population estimates, projecting a surplus of psychologists in many states. The authors provide suggestions for reducing the workforce, including improved monitoring of workforce size and reducing current training levels.The need to develop a workforce strategy to balance the supply and demand for psychologists engaged in clinical service is increasingly compelling. As the ascendence of the managed care paradigm profoundly transforms the delivery of mental health and other health services (Iglehart, 1996), it is especially pressing. Other mental health disciplines (e.g., social work, professional counselors) increasingly compete with psychology to provide many similar services as they (a) have been accorded greater recognition and expanded roles and (b) have developed their own regulatory mechanisms. Substantial reductions hi training have WILLIAM N. ROBINER received his PhD in clinical psychology from Washington University and an ABPP in health psychology. He is an associate

“…The response by Thomas and Chan (2000) provides us the opportunity to reflect further on our original assertions (Wegener, Hagglund, & Elliott, 1998) and to convey our appreciation to these colleagues for advancing the discussion regarding training of rehabilitation psychologists. In this era of evolving health care delivery systems, the training and preparation of psychologists are an immediate concern for all psychological specialties (Brown, 1996; Elliott & Klapow, 1997; Elliott & Shewchuk, 1996; Matthews, 1996). It is exciting to engage in an ongoing conversation about training and professional issues in rehabilitation psychology; we hope others will participate in this discussion.…”
