New training models and programmes in the teaching of clinical psychology associated with medically applied psychology at medical schools are developing in South Africa. However, a recent survey showed that a minimum number of full-time clinical psychologists is employed by medical schools in South Africa. How the few who are so employed fare away from their 'home base' is also explored as well as what their contributions are in such settings and in providing medical psychological services in general hospitals. These findings are discussed with reference to a developing country such as South Africa. Methods are proposed to further enhance the development of medical psychology and the effective contribution of clinical psychology to medical and related education, and its functioning as a bridge across the body-mind dichotomy within promotive and preventive healing systems.
Sovient psychologists who are working in clinics and psychiatric dispensaries call themselves "pathopsychologists," and they are, at present, in a rather difficult position. This paper will attempt to outline the position of clinical psychologists in the Soviet Union (USSR) and the nature of their problems and, also, to give an impression of (1) the tasks of clinical psychologists; (2) their struggle to regain the status of an independent profession; and (3) their struggle to keep clinical psychology an independent science.
