“…Although definitions regarding what comprises professional competencies in psychology can be traced back to the furthest reaches of the profession (see Ullmann, 1947), a number of influential competency frameworks have been developed since then. Edwards (2000), for example, summarized professional competencies stipulated or proposed by Canadian psychology regulatory boards and offered a competency framework based on themes that could be used by the boards to promote mobility in a psychologist’s professional practice.…”

Competence is of paramount importance to training in professional psychology, yet little research has addressed the development of psychometrically sound instruments for assessing competence, despite repeated calls for work in this area. Many current graduate school and internship training programs rely on cumulated hours of supervised clinical training and successful coursework completion as indicators of graduate student success, indicators that are widely regarded as poor proxies for the valid assessment of actual competence (Fouad et al., 2009). The present study aimed to address this gap by developing a measure that follows from one of the leading conceptualizations of competence in the field of professional psychology today. Results from an exploratory factor analysis of 491 psychotherapists revealed three related domains of professional competence: foundational, functional, and continuing competencies. These results were later used as a guide for confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) with cohorts of 471 board-certified psychologists and two samples of predoctoral interns and fellows (N = 647 and 264). Results from the CFAs led to a 10-item Professional Competencies Scale (PCS) with excellent fit and strong reliability and validity (see ). Current limitations of the instrument are noted and recommendations are explored in relation to the domains of training and practice, with attention to the important role of a continuing commitment to ongoing professional development.

Ethical quandaries for military psychologists are a challenge. Effective military mental health providers must have a thorough understanding of their ethics code, pertinent military instructions, military law, and the mental health laws of the countries in which they practice. This article traces the evolution of clinical military psychology ethics from World War II to present day and serves to introduce the manuscripts within this special issue of Military Psychology. The authors have addressed the issues of multiple relationships, cultural competency, mixed agency, informed consent and confidentiality and provided guidelines in order to effectively address these dilemmas.Psychologists as mental health providers in the military do not have a long history. In fact, formal military clinical psychology is only about 60 years old, arising during World War II to meet the mental health needs of veterans (Cranston, 1986). Subsequently, clinical psychology internships were born in the Veteran's Administration in 1946 and two years later the first active duty clinical military psychology internships were established in the Army (for more information on the history of military psychology see Kennedy & McNeil, 2006). As can be expected, as the field of clinical military psychology evolved, the unique and challenging ethical issues specific to this relatively new area of psychology grew accordingly.

INCE practically all of the occupational and professional material of interest to students of psychology and to counselors is published as journal articles on various, and often limited, aspects of the general problem, it is somewhat difficult for those students, who are developing an interest in psychology to get an overall view of the occupational opportunities open to them and the professional training demanded of them. To make somewhat more certain that those who are interested will find the information they seek, the present writer has published a bibliography (19) of 157 titles that included publications that are occupationally and professionally significant. Since the appearance of this first bibliography, many additional articles have been published which are summarized and classified here.A large number of the references listed here were
