A general view of the field of clinical psychology in present-day Spain is offered here. The field has experienced an enormous development over the past two decades. Many journals and specialized societies have been established, and a large number of professionals now are working in the field, most of them in private practice, but some in medical centers belonging to the Spanish national health service. This great expansion seems due mainly to the creation of a degree in psychology(1968) and the continuous flow of students demanding training in clinical subjects. A theoretical orientation toward a cognitive-behavioral approach seems to dominate, closely followed by those choosing a dynamic orientation. A large group of professionals dealing with health problems are reinforcing their idiosyncratic profile among the clinical psychology. A new study program to become a specialist in our field recently has been implemented and is just entering its initial stages (Internship in Psychology-PIR); it represents a significant improvement in the curriculum of the clinical psychology. All of these facts seem to prove the great vitality of this field in present-day Spain.
本文呈现了当今西班牙临床心理学领域的总体情况。在过去二十年里，该领域经历了巨大的发展。许多期刊和专业协会纷纷成立，如今大量专业人士投身于该领域，其中大多数从事私人执业，但也有一些在隶属于西班牙国家卫生服务体系的医疗中心工作。这种大规模的扩张似乎主要归因于心理学学位的设立（1968年）以及不断有学生要求接受临床学科的培训。一种认知行为取向的理论倾向似乎占据主导地位，紧随其后的是选择动力学取向的人。一大批处理健康问题的专业人士正在临床心理学领域强化他们独特的形象。最近实施了一项新的成为我们领域专家的学习计划，且刚刚进入初始阶段（心理学实习 - PIR）；它代表了临床心理学课程的重大改进。所有这些事实似乎都证明了该领域在当今西班牙具有强大的生命力。
