臺灣臨床心理師執業與工作現況調查

Practice Survey of Clinical Psychologists in Taiwan

為瞭解國內臨床心理師執業現況，本研究於2006年以問卷調查方式，蒐集158位領有證書之臨床心理師對於目前從事臨床心理工作之現況與看法。結果顯示64.6%受訪者具碩士以上學歷，70.1%受訪者在醫療機構工作，且75%受訪者工作年資不超過十年。對未來執業前景僅43.6%受訪者持樂觀態度，其中對各類工作機構前景以對醫療機構的樂觀程度為最低，可能的原因主要為缺乏合格督導及執業收入偏低。曾想要離開此行業的原因主要為收入偏低及專業耗竭，繼續從事臨床心理工作的原因主要為喜歡助人工作及自我成長。本文摘要與討論調查結果，並對臨床心理師的未來相關政策規劃提出建議。
