A psychologist working in the east of Ireland earns a salary of €140,000, according to a recent report in The Journal. The disclosure comes as professional organizations in the country continue to address issues of access, practice, and the dissemination of research within the field.
The Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) serves as the professional body for psychologists in Ireland. The PSI publishes both The Irish Journal of Psychology, a peer-reviewed academic publication, and The Irish Psychologist, a magazine for its members. The Irish Journal of Psychology is the academic journal of the PSI, according to Taylor & Francis, which publishes the journal.
Alongside these established publications, a newer journal, Clinical Psychology Today, has emerged, aiming to provide a forum for Irish clinical psychologists. The journal, circulated to subscribers and available online, focuses on the challenges and innovations within clinical practice in Ireland. Articles submitted to Clinical Psychology Today undergo a double-blind peer review process, ensuring anonymity for both authors and reviewers, and is committed to open access publishing. Past editions are archived through the Irish healthcare national library, Lenus.
Clinical Psychology Today seeks to publish articles that explore recent initiatives, challenge existing practices, and stimulate debate within the clinical psychology community. The journal is disseminated widely across all grades of Clinical Psychology in Ireland. The publication’s emergence reflects a desire for a dedicated space for Irish clinical psychologists to communicate their experiences and ideas.
The Irish Journal of Psychological Medicine, established in 1982, too serves as an international forum for psychological research. It is published by Cambridge Core.
