Text of Note

The purpose of this dissertation was to examine how competency-based training prepares clinical psychology trainees for the exposure to trauma and development of resilience. Clinical psychology uses competency-based training to teach the knowledge, skills, and attitudes in the field. Historically, two different degrees are awarded for clinical psychologists: philosophy doctorate (PhD) or psychology doctorate (PsyD). The PhD training is referenced as scientist-practitioner, whereas the PsyD is scholar-practitioner. The National Council of Schools and Programs of Professional Psychology (NCSPP) is a competency-based training model most compatible with scholar-practitioner training. In training, clinical psychologists are highly likely to work with clients who have experienced trauma. Professional clinical psychologists have noted experiencing vicarious trauma. More recently, clinical psychologists have noted experiencing vicarious resilience. Competency-based training models for clinical psychologists, including NCSPP, do not currently consider trauma, vicarious trauma, or resilience. A comprehensive review of the literature was used for this dissertation to examine competency-based training models, trauma, vicarious trauma, and vicarious resilience. Urie Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems theory was used as the lens for analysis of the literature. This is a developmental systems theory. The results of this exploratory study revealed competency-based training, including NCSPP, does not consider trauma, vicarious trauma, or vicarious resilience in trainees. The literature on vicarious trauma and vicarious resilience focuses on practicing professionals and not trainees in clinical psychology. While reviewing competency-based training, the American Psychological Association is endorsing a new competency based training model called Health Service Psychology Education Blueprint. This dissertation argues as the competency model of training for clinical psychologists, changes this is the time to incorporate trauma and resilience research into the new competencies.
