Article
Increasingly, professionalism has been recognized as a core competency for health service professionals and is the domain in which vexing competence problems are observed in trainees. We begin by describing manifestations of problems of professionalism in accord with the values that fall within the rubric of this multi-faceted construct. We provide...

Article
There are more than 13.7 million cancer survivors in the United States and this number is expected to grow to 18 million by 2020 because of improved outcomes from care and the aging of the population.

Recent estimates indicate that 25% of graduates earning a doctoral degree in psychology in 2009 were male, which is a decrease from 50% in 2003 and 80% in 1973 (American Psychological Association, 2011). Whether this decrease reflects a decline in enrollment, retention, or both, psychology's gender composition has undergone a pendulum swing from un...

Despite significant advancements in the counseling and study of the psychology of men, few researchers have addressed intersections among men's contexts, development, and health (Courtenay, 2011; O'Neil, 2008). The authors used Bronfenbrenner's ecological model (1979, 1986) to explore the relationships between masculinity ideology and adverse healt...

In this chapter, I target several top...

Twenty years ago, “pet related issues” may have seemed an inconsequential matter or outside the scope of professional practice for many mental health practitioners and researchers. Yet, the 2006 U.S. Pet Ownership & Demographics Sourcebook found that 37.2% of US households have a dog and 32.4% have a cat. Today, there are more than 72 million pet...

Trainees with problems of professional competence (TPPC) are a significant phenomenon in psychology education and training.
