Sj. Lopez et al., Degree-granting institutions and characteristics of psychologists with both diplomate and fellow status in counseling psychology, PSYCHOL REP, 84(3), 1999, pp. 969-972
Psychologists (44 men, 6 women) were identified as individuals who received
both Fellow status from Division 17 of the APA and ABPP Diplomate status i
n Counseling Psychology. Years of postdoctoral experience acquired prior to
gaining the credentials averaged 13.1 (SD=6.1) for the Division 17 Fellow
and 9.8 (SD=4.7) for the ABPP Diplomate. 25 different degree-granting insti
tutions provided training for the 50 whose careers exemplify the scientist-
practitioner approach to their work. Columbia graduated 9 of these psycholo
gists, whereas Ohio State and Minnesota graduated 5 each. In regard to degr
ee specialty, 37 (74%) gained their degrees from counseling or counseling p
sychology programs, whereas 11 (22%) gained their degrees from other types
of psychology programs. These psychologists tended to work in academic inst
itutions and to publish an average of .57 journal articles per year.
