Declining or Waning

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:

The journal is moving towards a more holistic view of training that incorporates multiple aspects of care. - Standardized Testing and Assessment Practices:
