In this paper, we discuss development of the Vietnam National University graduate Clinical Psychology Program, which has the goal of training both Vietnamese researchers who will develop and evaluate culturally appropriate mental health treatments, as well as Vietnamese clinicians who will implement and help disseminate these evidence-based treatments. We first review the background situation in Vietnam regarding mental health, and its infrastructure and training needs, and discuss the process through which the decision was made to develop a graduate program in clinical psychology as the best approach to address these needs. We then review the development process for the program and its current status, and our focus on the schools as a site for service provision and mental health task shifting. Finally, we outline future goals and plans for the program, and discuss the various challenges that the program has faced and our attempts to resolve them.
在本文中,我们探讨了越南国立大学临床心理学研究生项目的发展情况。该项目旨在培养两类人才:一类是将开发和评估适合当地文化的心理健康治疗方法的越南研究人员,另一类是将实施并协助推广这些循证治疗方法的越南临床医生。我们首先回顾越南心理健康方面的背景情况、其基础设施和培训需求,并讨论做出开设临床心理学研究生项目这一决策的过程,该决策被视为满足这些需求的最佳途径。接着,我们回顾该项目的发展历程及其当前状况,以及我们将学校作为服务提供场所和心理健康任务转移地点的关注重点。最后,我们概述该项目未来的目标和计划,并讨论该项目所面临的各种挑战以及我们为解决这些挑战所做的尝试。
