Consultation and interprofessional collaboration: Modeling for the future

Abstract

Consultation and interprofessional collaboration by psychologists occur with individuals, groups, programs, and organizations. The practice of consultation and interprofessional collaboration involves interdisciplinary relationships, preparation, and advanced skill development within specialty areas of psychology (e.g., clinical, counseling, industrial-organizational, and school). The Workgroup on Consultation and Interdisciplinary Relationships engaged in a planning process at the Competencies Conference: Future Directions in Education and Credentialing in Professional Psychology to address fundamental issues regarding consultation and interprofessional collaboration in professional psychology. The Workgroup articulated working definitions, consensus points about psychologists as consultants and interprofessional collaborators, a consulting and interprofessional competency blueprint for preparation and assessment strategies, and future directions. This is one of a series of articles published in this issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychology. Several other articles that resulted from the Competencies Conference will appear in Professional Psychology: Research and Practice and The Counseling Psychologist.
