title: Evaluation of a predoctoral clinical psychology internship program by intern graduates.
abstract: This investigation is a replication and extension of an earlier study by Stout, Holmes, and Rothstein (1977) of the predoctoral clinical psychology intern graduates at the William S. Hall Psychiatric Institute. The interns were surveyed (N = 63) with regard to how adequately their internship experience prepared them for their current professional work as practicing clinical psychologists. Questionnaire data (n = 44) from graduates are analyzed in terms of the demographics of each intern's work situation, ratings of how well their internship prepared them in the areas of interprofessional relationships, teaching psychodiagnostic evaluations, psychological treatment, administration, consultation, and research. Several recommendations are offered by the intern graduates for refinement of the clinical psychology internship.
