| Abstract | A questionnaire survey was conducted to document the views of Hong Kong clinical psychologists on their training and continuing education. Fifty-seven clinical psychologists returned the questionnaires. The results showed no significant sex difference on the overall ratings of the training adequacy and need for continuing education. The present sample tended to rate their training programmes as inadequate in most areas and indicated that the programmes needed to be modified. Interestingly, foreign trained respondents rated their training significantly more positively than their local counterparts after the level of academic degree was controlled. The sample also indicated a need for continuing education in most surveyed clinical areas and a support for a central body to organize a continuing education programme for clinical psychologists. The survey results were discussed in light of the current situation of the profession in Hong Kong. |
