Scholars have identified vicarious traumatization (VT) as one of the most extreme effects of working with traumatized clients; however, not all mental health therapists develop VT (Pearlman & Saakvitne, 1995). Path analytic procedures were used to assess a comprehensive theoretical VT model based on constructivist self-development theory (CSDT). The model explained 46% of the variance in VT in mental health therapists surveyed.

Information about psychology majors' activities after graduation is an important ingredient in the evaluation and renewal of undergraduate programs. In this article, we review the survey research on psychology alumni, analyzing the various survey objectives, samples, results, and program implementations. Based on this review, we make recommendations about the design of future studies, the role of APA's Educational Affairs Office, and the use of life-span development theory and methodology to refine future alumni research in undergraduate psychology.
