Abstract:
Background: Bibliometrical results on the development of clinical psychology
publications with historiographical orientation in the 20th century are
presented.  Research questions: How can the history of clinical psychology
and of its research domains be reconstructed bibliometrically with reference
to the publications in international psychology and psychology from the
German-speaking countries? Methods: Databases are the Psychological
Abstracts (1927-1966), PsycLit (1967-1999) and PSYNDEX (1977-1999), in which
psychological publications are documented relatively exhaustively.

Results: Historiographically Described are (1) the bibliometrically clearly
demonstrable boom of clinical psychology publications since the 1950s, (2)
the relatively low rate of psychotherapeutically relevant publications in
comparison to those concerning disorders, health services, hospital
programs, and rehabilitation, and (3) the relatively low rate of empirical
and experimental (controlled) studies published on psychotherapy in contrast
to all other domains of applied psychology. Consequences: There has been a
clear boom of clinical psychology publication output since the 1950s in
international psychology, as well as psychology from the German-speaking
countries. However, there are publication deficits in the domain of
psychotherapy and especially in the domain of experimental and broader
empirically founded studies. Problems of bibliometric analyses are discussed
as well as the implications of the results for the future of clinical
psychology, especially psychotherapy research.
