How many psychologists do we need

TL;DRAbstract

The most recent manpower survey of psychology posts
\n(Breaden & Woods, 2010) indicated that there were 647.34
\nWhole Time Equivalents (WTEs) working in the Irish health
\nservices in 2008. However, psychology managers and many
\nother stakeholders recognise that this level of staffing is
\ninsufficient. The purpose of this paper is to examine the two
\nnot totally dissimilar population- and needs-based methods of
\nestimating workforce requirements and to outline which might
\nbe the best method to calculate how many psychologists are
\nneeded in Ireland.
