| description | This article reviews, analyzes, and discusses the existing data since 2003, from different sources, on the number of psychologists who are specialists in clinical psychology working in the Spanish National Health System (SNS). The data must be taken with great caution due to the diversity of sources and methodology used, but it is concluded that the total estimated number of Specialist Psychologists in Clinical Psychology plus «PESTOS» [specialist psychologists without an official qualification] who work in the SNS may be around 2,600-2,800, with a ratio per 100,000 inhabitants of around 5.58, and vast differences among the autonomous communities. In the last 15 years, the average increase in the ratio of
psychologists per 100,000 inhabitants has been slightly more than one psychologist. It is recommended to carry out detailed studies to find out not only how many specialists in clinical psychology there are in each autonomous community, but also the levels and the type of units in which they are located. |
