1 The American Medical Association Physician
Characteristics and Distribution in the United States (2002) includes
physicians who are self-identified as psychiatrists or child psychiatrists.
Psychiatric residents and inactive psychiatrists have been excluded. Numbers
are revised from those reported in Mental Health, United States 1998.
2 These are clinically trained psychologists. Estimates based
on trained psychologists reporting hours worked.
3 The
number in parentheses is the total clinically trained social workers from
a conservative estimate that the 96,407 and 97,290 National Association
of Social Workers (NASW) members in 1998 and 2000, respectively, are only
50 percent of the total social work work force.
4 Estimates
for 1984 and 1996 were based on employed nurses with graduate degrees
in psychiatric nursing, not on the population of certified nurses. In
1988 it was estimated that there were 10,567 such employed nurses; in
1984 the estimate was 10,034.
5 Excluding 1994, these figures
represent all certified specialists in psychiatric-mental health nursing,
not just those employed.
6 A total of 17,318 were trained
with 1,988 (11.5 percent) estimated to be nonemployed.

Data from National Board for Certified Counselors 1998 State Counseling
Board Survey; comparison with similar States; number of National Certified
Counselors; with growth rate taken from National Certified Counselor Data.
Full- and part-time ratios taken from table 5.
8 Data for
2000 are based on a 2000 American Association for Marriage and Family
Therapy Practice Research Network Project funded by Center for Substance
Abuse Treatment (CSAT). Data were col lected from a random sample of AAMFT
Clinical members with an 82 percent response rate of eligible therapists.
For years prior to 2000, the total was distributed into full- and part-time
on data from a survey of marriage and family therapists in 15 States by
Doherty and Simmons (1995).
