“…Despite the growing interest in bibliometric analyses of the progress in the fields of psychology and psychiatry, there is still a lack of topical and focused analyses [ 25 - 32 ], particularly those assessing the situation in less developed populations. To our knowledge, this is one of the first studies to compare research intensity in this field between HICs and LMICs.…”

Background It is vital to assess whether research on psychological or psychiatric states using validated questionnaires is still lagging in low- and middle-income countries and to what degree, and to continue to assess the psychometric properties of the most informative questionnaires. Methods We performed a bibliometric analysis of Web of Science Core Collection for all years to determine the number of studies performed in each country that used an inventory or a questionnaire on aggression, anxiety, depression, borderline personality, narcissism, self-harm, shame, or childhood trauma. We conducted a simple observational analysis of distributions by countries to derive the main overall conclusions, assisted by ChatGPT to test its ability to summarise and interpret this type of information. We also carried out a study in Croatia to examine some psychometric properties of five commonly used questionnaires, using Cronbach’s α coefficient and zero-order correlations. Results We observed a concentration of research activity in a few high-income countries, primarily the United States and several European nations, suggesting a robust research infrastructure and a strong emphasis on studying psychological and psychiatric states within their population. In contrast, low- and middle-income countries were notably under-represented in research on psychological and psychiatric states, although the gap seems to be closing in some countries. Turkey, Iran, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, India, Malaysia and Pakistan have been consistently contributing an increasing number of studies and catching up with the most research-intensive high-income countries. The national case study in Croatia confirmed adequate psychometric properties of the most frequently used questionnaires. Conclusions Addressing research gaps in low- and middle-income countries is crucial, because relying solely on research from high-income countries may not fully capture the nuances of psychological and psychiatric states within diverse populations. To bridge this gap, it is essential to prioritise mental health research in low-resource settings, provide training and resources to local researchers, and establish international collaborations. Such efforts can lead to the development of culturally valid questionnaires, an improved understanding of psychological and psychiatric states in diverse contexts, and the creation of effective interventions to promote mental well-being on a global scale.

“…Solo 9 revistas explican la mitad de los documentos publicados en el ámbito, y de ellas solo 3 específicas de psicología clínica y de la salud, dos representativas de los enfoques más experimentales (Análisis y Modificación de Conducta y Psicología Conductual) y una más plural y abierta (Clínica y Salud), las 3 difundidas internacionalmente a través de las bases de datos de la APA, además de serlo en las nacionales creadas por el ya desaparecido Centro de Información y Documentación Científica del CSIC (Alcaín y Ruíz-Gálvez, 1998b). Los estudios documentales la muestran como un área consolidada, aunque difusamente definida y publicada en un espectro muy amplio de revistas (Sanz, 2001) Nuestro objetivo es analizar la última década de la revista Clínica y Salud (desde 2009 hasta el segundo número de 2018 incluido), la más antigua de las revistas del COP Madrid hoy incluidas en el JCR.…”

Contemporary profiles of clinical and health psychologists in Australia

Clinical and health psychologists are, collectively, the most numerous of the professional subgroups represented by the Colleges of the Australian Psychological Society. The value of these professionals to the continued health and well‐being of the Australian society is important and this value is underscored by the commitment shown by Australian clinical and health psychologists both to intake‐level education and to the maintenance of continuing professional development once entry into the profession has been achieved. The present paper documents contemporary professional profiles of Australian clinical and health psychologists and relates these to previous information addressing this issue. Quite clearly, those now involved in clinical and health psychology are, by and large, highly educated professionals strongly committed to evidence‐based practice and to the pursuit of experiences which maintain and enhance their professional skills. The changing nature of the Australian health‐care system, however, poses escalating challenges for the profession and many appear to be migrating from the public to the private sectors of practice although they are still not well served by health‐care policies related to funding. Their experiences in this regard (and others) point to areas where a professional body such as the APS can further support these highly valuable professionals.
