During the past few years, a number of developments have
signaled that the time has come to hold a conference focused
on the identification, training, and evaluation of professional
competencies for health and human service providers and
educators in psychology. These developments include, but
are not limited to: conferences, workgroups, and commissions
throughout North America and Europe; efforts among various
groups to identify core and specialized competencies; and
initiatives to facilitate mobility. There is an increasing
realization that the articulation, identification, and evaluation
of competencies that define a psychologist enable the profession
to communicate to the public and legislators about services
psychologists can provide. The purpose of Competencies 2002
is to bring together representatives from diverse education,
training, practice, public interest, research, credentialing,
and regulatory constituency groups to engage in a process
of: (1) identification of core and specialized competencies
building upon already existing models; (2) formulation of
developmental and integrated models of competencies for
the training of the next generation of psychologists; and
(3) development of strategies for the evaluation of competencies.
It is hoped that this conference will serve as a catalyst
for continued collaborative efforts related to the identification,
training, and evaluation of competencies; foster links between
a broad array of constituency groups to better train the
next generation of psychologists; enhance the competence
of professional psychologists; and better serve and protect
the public.
