La bibliografía utilizada en el entrenamiento psicoclínico en carreras de grado es central para explicar las particularidades teóricas, epistemológicas y prácticas de la psicología argentina. Este trabajo aporta datos sobre el estado actual de dicha formación psicoclínica en universidades nacionales en el contexto de los debates sobre evaluación y acreditación de grados de psicología, que en lo epistemológico han enfatizado de la necesidad de formar profesionales pluralistas, críticos y actualizados. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, expost facto retrospectivo de tipo socio-bibliométrico, analizándose la bibliografía obligatoria (N=629) de los sílabos  de asignaturas sobre psicología clínica y psicoterapia de carreras de psicología de las universidades nacionales de Rosario, Mar del Plata y La Plata, a partir de categorías de análisis socio-bibliométrico. Se halló un predominio de trabajos de Freud y Lacan, y de trabajos de orientaciones psicodinámicas en desmedro de otras orientaciones psicoclínicas. Existiría predominio de obras de psicólogos por sobre psiquiatras, médicos y filósofos. Menos del 5% de la bibliografía fue publicada en los últimos cinco años, y menos de un 20% en los últimos diez años. Se concluye que no existiría adecuación entre contenidos impartidos y parámetros de los procesos de acreditación y debates teóricos y epistemológicos de la disciplina. AbstractMandatory readings of undergraduate psychology programs’ training in clinical psychology are of key importance in order to explain the theoretical, epistemological and practical peculiarities of Argentinian psychology. This study provides data on the current state of psychoclinical training at national universities in the context of the debates on evaluation and accreditation of psychology careers, which in an epistemological sense have emphasized the need to train pluralistic, critical and up-to-date professionals. A descriptive, retrospective, socio-bibliometric study was carried out, to analyze the literature used as mandatory readings (N = 629) at clinical psychology and psychotherapy syllabi of psychology programs at the national universities of Rosario, Mar del Plata and La Plata, using socio-bibliometric variables and indicators. We found a predominance of works by Freud and Lacan, and works of psychodynamic orientations in detriment of other theoretical orientations. There exists a predominance of works by psychologists over psychiatrists, physicians and philosophers. Less than 5% of the literature was published in the last five years, and less than 20% in the last ten years. It is concluded that there would be no congruence between the contents taught at psychotherapy undergraduate courses, criteria used for psychology programs’ accreditation processes, and theoretical and epistemological debates of the discipline.

Accreditation Criteria

This study is an empirical analysis of the recent past and current state of Argentinian undergraduate psychology education in the context of psychology programs’ ongoing evaluation and accreditation processes. We used six bibliometric parameters to retrieve the required listed readings ( N = 16,085) of the 452 compulsory undergraduate courses’ syllabi from Argentina’s 12 most populated psychology programs at public and prívate universities. We then compared our data with analyses from the 2000–2010 period and with official accreditation criteria. Results showed a marked obsolescence and a limited updating of required readings. Syllabi showed a clear hegemony of psychoanalytically-oriented authors and readings, dominance of books and faculty-written manuscripts over scholarly articles, and a very limited internationalization. Our findings suggest that accreditation processes have not modified Argentinian psychology’s main, historical characteristics.

Purpose Since Masaaki Imai coined the term Kaizen in the mid-1980s, it has been seen as a key element for the competitiveness of Japanese companies, and it is currently a widely discussed philosophy and is applied in a wide range of organizations throughout the world. The purpose of this paper is to serve as guidance for researchers who are developing their studies in the field of the Kaizen philosophy, in order to improve their knowledge on the most relevant articles, the most productive authors or the key scientific journals that make up this subject. Design/methodology/approach In order to fulfill the proposed objective, a descriptive bibliometric study was carried out with the analysis of citations from 138 articles included in the multidisciplinary database Scopus (Elsevier) until 2016. For the search of documents, a tracking strategy was chosen that allowed for the development of the ad hoc database required to analyze each of the basic variables of the bibliometric indicators. Findings The results obtained show a growing interest of the scientific community in its study in the last decade, as shown by the significant increase in citations received by articles, despite the reduction in the number of papers published in the last two years. Research limitations/implications The main limitations are derived from the choice of a specific database, as well as the specific search equation. Originality/value The study presents an in-depth analysis of the current state of research regarding the Kaizen philosophy through its bibliometric study, providing useful information for academics and professionals by providing a series of significant indicators to measure the bibliographic material.

Undergraduate psychology programs have not always provided the same level of support for their job-seeking students than they have for those preparing to become psychologists. This is a particularly unfortunate situation because, according to the American Psychological Association's Center for Workforce Studies (American Psychological Association, 2017), only 13% of the 3.4 million people in the United States who have earned a bachelor's degree in psychology have gone on to earn a higher psychology degree. The first part of this article uses quotations from seven national reports on the psychology curriculum to identify the genesis and gradual amelioration of this unfortunate situation. The remainder of this article focuses on strategies that psychology faculty can use to help their job-seeking students successfully accomplish Goal 5: Professional Development of the APA Guidelines for the Undergraduate Psychology Major. These strategies include referring advisees to professionally trained advisors and becoming aware of careers in which baccalaureate-level psychology majors have entered or can prepare to enter and the sets of knowledge, skills, and characteristics important for success in these careers.

Program Data

The present study investigated the commonly accepted view from various sources (e.g., American Psychological Association [APA]), which indicates the significant difficulty in being accepted into a PhD in clinical psychology program. Data were collected (total number of applicants, applicants accepted, and number of accepted students who matriculated) from 100 APA-accredited PhD in clinical psychology programs that are also members of the Council of University Directors of Clinical Psychology. These data were used to examine why the probability of acceptance into at least one clinical PhD program may be higher than previously thought. The results showed an acceptance–matriculation discrepancy—the overall number of individuals accepted into clinical psychology PhD programs is higher than that of matriculated students. In addition, being accepted into a clinical PhD program is a function of the number of applications per applicant. The article concludes with a discussion of how applicants to clinical PhD programs should approach the application process.

Support Evaluation

Brewer et al. (1993) recommended the collection of curricular information to support evaluation of undergraduate psychology programs. We gathered basic information on the psychology minor, including national patterns of requirements and recommendations, chairperson opinions about the psychology minor as an academic program, and the minor areas of study that students with psychology majors are advised to select. Surveys were sent to 400 psychology departments; 275 (69%) returned surveys were usable. Discussion focuses on the structure of the minor, the need for advising minors, assessing the minor, and the type of attention psychology departments could give the academic minor, including the minors they recommend for their majors.
