Abstract

This paper discusses the role a medical doctor would envision for clinical psychologists. The Japanese Society of Psychosomatic Medicine is independently planning to institutionalize clinical psychologists in hospitals. I agree with the opinion that some qualifications are necessary for clinical psychologists to work in hospitals. However, I disagree with the idea that the Society should establish its own system for authorizing clinical psychologists to work in hospitals at this stage for the following reasons : a lot of clinical psychologists are working in various fields other than psychosomatic medicine; the applicable area of psychosomatic medicine has not yet been clearly defined; the education for and the examination ability of members of the Society have not been fully discussed; and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is planning to authorize clinical psychologists in hospitals in the near future. I expect that many members of the Society would participate in discussions on whether or not the Japanese Society of Psychosomatic Medicine should authorize clinical psychologists in hospitals. (This paper was written on the basis of the presentation of a panel discussion held on June 4, 2004.)
