Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper describes and compares university education and training, the procedures for licensing and the specialist training systems for professional psychologists in the Nordic countries Finland, Norway and Sweden. The interscandinavian and European regulations and agreements affecting mobility are presented. The presented systems are compared to each other and a discussion follows on the topics: What is the relation between generic and specialized training? Will it be possible in the future for the countries to mutually recognize their different specialization educational programs? How specialized should a further education be?
