机译：Four Lessons Learned From 1,000 Psychological Evaluations of Clerics and Clerical Applicants in the Roman Catholic and Episcopalian Churches
Many lessons have been learned after conducting 1,000 psychological evaluations of clerical applicants and ordained clerics in the Roman Catholic and Episcopalian Churches. Several important themes have risen to the top of the list of these lessons. The purpose of this brief reflection is to highlight four fundamental lessons learned from conducting these evaluations that may be helpful to clinicians and researchers alike who work in the diagnostic, treatment, or consultation arena with similar church groups. These include research indicating that clerical applicants tend to be (a) psychologically healthy, (b) older with more life experiences than previous generations of clerics, and (c) traumatized by the clerical sexual abuse story. Finally, a call for evidence-based best practices in conducting clerical screening evaluations is a critically important lesson learned.
