sychologists
who are trained in a country different from
the one in which they live often experience difficulty in having their
“foreign” education fairly evaluated. This is especially true for psychologists
living in the USA. Unlike the situation
in other developed countries, the USA does not evaluate international training
in psychology on a case-by-case content-analysis basis; nor is the first-instance assessment done by members of the profession.
There is a surprising degree of global ignorance concerning the similarities and differences of educational systems throughout the world, especially the systems used to train professional psychologists. There are no journals devoted to this subject. There are no schools of research which concern themselves with this area. There are no world authorities available to supervise post-graduate research students who may wish to pursue a topic in this area.
For this reason the material published on this site is the work of only a few individuals. It is to hoped that this situation will change rapidly.
