Abstract
An increasing number of psychologists are employed in medical settings. The most recent surveys suggest that 8%-10% of American Psychological Association (APA) members are currently working in medical settings (DeLeon, Pallak, & Hefferman, 1982;Dorken, Webb, & Zaro, 1982). This trend toward employment in medical settings appears to be continuing to increase (Stabler & Mesibov, 1984). A primary duty of many of the psychologists in medical settings is the provision of consultation services to various inpatient medical units and outpatient medical clinics.
