title: [The professional field of the psychologist in vocational training--results of a survey].
abstract: A questionnaire inquiry was carried out with the Psychological Services of the Vocational Training Centres in the Federal Republic of Germany, directed at their fields of work and their position within the facility. The Psychological Services invariably are involved in the admission procedure, and counselling as well as therapeutic work, individual and in groups, have become a firmly established focus alongside their traditional diagnostic tasks. Aspects of supervision are increasingly being used as new methods of personnel development. Though staffing has improved since 1977, great variations still exist between the various centres, and our findings clearly point out the gaps in service provision related with lower client/psychologist ratios. Following introduction and consolidation of the Psychological Services, a phase of re-orientation seems to be under way, with special attention to focus on interactional processes within the facilities, on implementation of rehabilitation objectives, and on entry of clients with chronic mental impairment.
