1 Percentages will not sum to 100 because clinically trained mental
health personnel can be involved in more than one type of work activity.
2 Respondents to the 2004 APA NSPP who are currently active in psychiatry
(N = 1,095); data have been weighted. Note: 25 psychiatrists had missing information
on type of work activity.
3 Source: 2000 American Psychological Association Directory compiled by
APA Research Office. Because 35,768 members did not specify work activities, percentages
are based on the 25,298 members who responded and applied to the estimated number
of clinically active psychologists in 2004.
4 Source: National Association of Social Workers (NASW) PRN survey,
2004, which requested the principal role in the primary area of practice; thus,
data are not comparable to other disciplines.
5 Estimates are based on the 2000 National Study of the Professional Counselor,
with growth rate taken from National Certified Counselor data.
6 Estimates are based on 2004 national survey of clinical members of the
American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), which asked for
primary and secondary job function.
7 Data are from Thomas (2000) and replace earlier data.
8 Includes staff supervision.
9 Mainly consultation as other activity.
10 Data are based on the total number of PMH-APRNs board certified by the
American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) as of October 2003, including clinical
nurse specialists (adult and child) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (family
and adult). Missing data are excluded.
