Abstract The inclusion of education about complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) into health education has occurred among the conventional health professions, but not for clinical psychologists. Clinical psychologists, as health professionals, need to have CAM knowledge in order to provide psychoeducation about CAM to their clients based on the latest scientific research. This novel cross-sectional research aimed to explore CAM-related educational needs among Indonesian clinical psychologists based on their knowledge of CAM and attitude towards knowledge of CAM. The participants were 318 clinical psychologists (Mage = 33.94 years, SD = 8.21; 87.7% females) who completed an online survey. In general, participants self-reported a lack of CAM knowledge. CAM education, especially in regards to the risks of CAM use, was strongly needed in psychology curricula and its continuing education. Findings of this study show that professional psychology associations may need to regulate CAM integration in psychological services; and educational institutions teaching psychology may consider delivering CAM education using experiential learning methods. Asian nations could consider the recommendations in this study due to their similarity with Indonesian culture and history of education within the field of psychology.

为临床心理学家开发补充和替代医学（CAM）教育：印度尼西亚的一个例子

摘要在传统的卫生专业人员中已经发生了将补充和替代医学（CAM）教育纳入健康教育的活动，但临床心理学家却没有。作为健康专家的临床心理学家需要具备CAM知识，以便根据最新科学研究为他们的客户提供有关CAM的心理教育。这项新颖的横断面研究旨在根据印尼临床心理学家对CAM的知识和对CAM知识的态度，探索CAM相关的教育需求。参与者是完成在线调查的318位临床心理学家（法师= 33.94岁，SD = 8.21； 87.7％的女性）。通常，参与者自我报告缺乏CAM知识。CAM教育，尤其是关于使用CAM的风险方面的知识，在心理学课程及其继续教育中非常需要。这项研究的结果表明，专业的心理学协会可能需要规范心理服务中的CAM整合。并且教育心理学的教育机构可以考虑使用体验式学习方法进行CAM教育。亚洲国家可以考虑本研究中的建议，因为它们与印尼文化和心理学领域的教育史相似。
