1 2002 American Psychiatric Association membership residing in the
United States, excluding medical students; psychiatric residents; corresponding
members and fellows; inactive members, associates, fellows; and honorary and distinguished
fellows.
2 Estimates are for the doctoral-level clinically trained psychologists
in the United States in late 2001 and early 2002 reporting years. Missing data
are excluded.
3 Estimates are based on National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Practice
Research Network (PRN) survey, 2000, which requested years of experience since
completion of first professional degree. The numbers reported reflect slightly
different year ranges from other disciplines presented in table 22.4. The NSAW
PRN survey data represent the following ranges: less than 2; 2–4 years;
5–9 years; 10–14 years; 15–19 years; and 20+ years. Thus, data
are not comparable to other disciplines.
4 All subjects have master’s or doctoral education in nursing. The
data in this table reflect the years since completion of highest nursing degree;
they do not include years since doctoral degrees in non-nursing areas. Note that
the highest degree might be a doctorate rather than a master’s degree.
5 Estimates are based on the 2000 National Study of the Professional Counselor,
with growth rate taken from 2004 National Certified Counselor data.
6 All data are based on 2002 American Association for Marriage and
Family Therapy (AAMFT) PRN project funded by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment.
Data were collected from a random sample of AAMFT clinical members (Northey, 2004).
