"Productivity Ratings of Psychology Programs Based on Publications in Clinical Journals": Correction

Reports an error in the original article "Productivity Ratings of Psychology Programs Based on Publications in Clinical Journals" by Charles J. Golden, Sally Kuperman, and David Osmon (Professional Psychology, 1980, Vol. 11, No. 5, pp. 797-806). In Table 10 on page 804, Larue D. Carter Hospital, Indianapolis, Indiana, is incorrectly listed as a general hospital. It is a state mental hospital. Sought to identify the relative standing of clinical psychology programs by evaluating their frequency of publication in the major clinical journals. In addition, the relative contribution of university programs, hospital programs, medical centers, and other institutions to the clinical literature was investigated. It was found that although American Psychological Association (APA)-approved university clinical programs are responsible for the largest number of articles in the sample examined, (14 journals for the years 1975, 1976, and 1977), 6 of every 10 articles were published either by non-APA-approved academic programs or by individuals in other institutional settings. The general reputation of universities did not reflect their productivity in the clinical journals. The article includes an analysis of the major sources of publication in the clinical literature and an evaluation of the meaning of these findings for clinical psychology.
