title: Differentiating roles of clinical and counseling psychology interns.
abstract: Asked 60 clinical psychology interns and 54 counseling psychology interns from 18 APA approved university training programs to complete a survey form that involved rating the amount of emphasis placed upon various roles, functions and duties at internship and university training programs. Supervisors of the interns at the respective internship settings completed analogous forms, rating their perception of the degree of emphasis placed upon various roles, functions and duties. The data were analyzed via stepwise discriminant analysis to determine whether some roles would be more typical to one specialty. Finally, suggestions were offered for the improvement of university training programs and for the conduct of further research on roles of the two specialties.
