Psychology training clinics provide evidence-based, cost-effective psychological services to the general public, while at the same time providing a training ground for future psychotherapists. Research in training clinics can advance the clinical literature, train psychotherapists in evidence-based practice and improve outcomes for clients. However, since the last published review of research published in psychology training clinics (Todd, Kurcias, & Gloster, 1994), it is unclear how much the training clinic literature has advanced in the last two decades or if findings can be synthesized across sites. A systematic, quantitative literature review with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria described 257 empirical studies conducted in training clinics since the previous review (1993–2015). Studies were coded and categorized into themes by three independent raters. Studies explored the nature and organization of training clinics, client characteristics, assessment, intervention, staff and clinical training, as well as research and research training. Across themes, it appeared that the literature has broadened extensively, highlighting that researchers have embraced training clinics as a sample source. Although there was a great breadth of topics researched, there remains insufficient depth in the majority of areas, and a need for multisite collaborations with a shared research agenda across training clinics. The review highlighted the extent to which training clinics are valuable research locations, although more research is needed to compare different training clinics and between training clinics versus nontraining clinics.

心理学培训诊所研究的系统回顾：我们走了多远？

心理培训诊所向公众提供循证、经济高效的心理服务，同时为未来的心理治疗师提供培训场所。培训诊所的研究可以推进临床文献，在循证实践中培训心理治疗师并改善客户的结果。然而，自从上次发表在心理学培训诊所的研究综述（Todd、Kurcias 和 Gloster，1994 年）以来，尚不清楚培训诊所文献在过去 20 年中取得了多大进展，或者研究结果是否可以跨站点综合。具有严格纳入和排除标准的系统、定量文献综述描述了自上次审查（1993-2015 年）以来在培训诊所进行的 257 项实证研究。研究由三位独立的评估者编码并归类为主题。研究探讨了培训诊所的性质和组织、客户特征、评估、干预、员工和临床培训，以及研究和研究培训。跨主题，文献似乎已经广泛扩展，突出表明研究人员已将培训诊所作为样本来源。尽管研究的主题范围很广，但在大多数领域仍然不够深入，并且需要在培训诊所之间通过共享研究议程进行多站点合作。审查强调了培训诊所在多大程度上是有价值的研究地点，尽管需要更多的研究来比较不同的培训诊所以及培训诊所与非培训诊所之间的比较。
