Abstract

Personality disorders are relatively common, especially in clinical settings. A number of evidence-based treatments are now available, especially for borderline personality disorder. However, little is known about the relevant training available to doctoral students in clinical and counseling psychology. in the current study, data were extracted from 336 clinical and counseling Ph.D. and Psy.D. programs from the Insider’s Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology (Norcross & Sayette, 2020), including the number of programs with faculty with specific interests in personality disorders and the number of programs with clinical opportunities related to personality disorders. We found that formal training in personality disorders is not widely available to most trainees in APA-accredited doctoral training programs. Only 16% of programs have faculty with interests in personality disorders, all of them clinical psychology programs. Ph.D. programs were more likely to have PD-interested faculty than Psy.D. programs, and, within clinical Ph.D. programs, PCSASaccredited programs were more likely to have PD-interested faculty than programs without PCSAS accreditation. Similarly, only 15% of programs (all clinical psychology programs) offer practicum opportunities in psychotherapy for personality disorders. Our findings indicate that doctoral level psychology programs are not sufficiently preparing their students with personality disorder training, which serves as a substantial disservice to both trainees and the public.

人格障碍的培训机会在美国心理学会和心理临床科学认证系统认可的临床和咨询心理学博士课程。

人格障碍相对常见，尤其是在临床环境中。现在有许多循证治疗方法，尤其是对边缘型人格障碍的治疗。然而，对临床和咨询心理学博士生的相关培训知之甚少。在当前的研究中，数据来自《临床和咨询心理学研究生课程内幕指南》（Norcross&Sayette，2020）中的336个临床和咨询博士和心理学博士课程，包括教师对人格障碍有特定兴趣的课程数量，以及有与人格障碍相关的临床机会的课程数量。我们发现，在APA认证的博士培训项目中，大多数受训人员并没有广泛接受人格障碍的正式培训。只有16%的课程有对人格障碍感兴趣的教师，他们都是临床心理学课程。与心理学博士项目相比，博士项目更有可能拥有对PD感兴趣的教师，而且在临床博士项目中，PCSAS认证的项目比没有PCSAS认证项目更有可能有对PD感感兴趣的教员。同样，只有15%的项目（所有临床心理学项目）提供人格障碍心理治疗的实习机会。我们的研究结果表明，博士级心理学项目没有为学生提供足够的人格障碍培训，这对受训者和公众都是一种严重的伤害。
