Declining or Waning
- Traditional Training Models:
There is a noticeable decline in research focused on traditional, didactic training models that do not incorporate active learning or competency-based approaches. As the field evolves, there is less emphasis on these outdated methods. - General Psychological Assessment:
Themes related to general psychological assessment practices are becoming less frequent, as the focus shifts towards culturally responsive assessment and specific competency development in diverse populations. - Narrow Focus on Specific Disorders:
Research concentrating solely on training for specific psychological disorders, without consideration for broader systemic issues such as social justice and diversity, is waning. The journal is moving towards a more holistic view of training that incorporates multiple aspects of care. - Standardized Testing and Assessment Practices:
The discussions surrounding the efficacy and necessity of standardized testing methods in psychology training have diminished, as the field leans towards more nuanced and individualized assessment strategies. - Non-Collaborative Training Approaches:
There appears to be a decline in articles advocating for non-collaborative training approaches. The trend is shifting towards collaborative models that integrate community and interdisciplinary perspectives into training.
