Study of a Korean Clinical Psychology Training Model: The Delphi Method

Abstract

This study was carried out to find consensus on the future education and training model of Korean clinical psychology which had not been discussed in the past. Three phases of a Delphi survey targeted 42 professors of departments of psychology nationwide, and 17 of them finally responded. In the first phase of the Delphi survey, the participants were instructed to present their opinions on potential changes to the education and training model. In the second phase, drawn up based on the first phase, the participants were instructed to estimate their levels of hope and possibility through 34 questions. In the third phase, the participants were instructed to re-estimate their responses to the 34 questions by referring to the opinions of a panel of other Profesor, and an answer section through which subjective opinions could be presented was offered. Throughout the three phases of the Delphi survey, Kendall's W test was conducted to find the concordance rate with the specialist panel. The results showed that the scale of hope rose from .379 to .466, and the scale of possibility increased from .201 to .312. According to the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, significant differences were found between the scales of hope and possibility. An outline of the Korean clinical psychology field could be drawn through this study, and future directions could be sought through the education and training model. In addition, obstacles in the clinical psychology field could be identified through the difference between hope and possibility. This study is meaningful in that future directions for education and training in clinical psychology has been presented through an empirical study for the first time.
