Clinical assessment of a profession: Roman catholic clergymen

Abstract

The present study investigated the personality of the American Catholic priest by means of clinical procedures. It is based on a national, randomly selected, representative sample. Recorded 2-hour clinical interview plus a battery of standardized as well as specially designed psychological tests were administered to 271 Ss. A clinical report was written for each priest based on all the interview data. Four categories or types of classification were devised to describe and to distinguish the priests along a continuum of soci-psychological development: maldeveloped (8%), underdeveloped (57%), developing (29%), and developed (6%).
