Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the development of domestic rehabilitation psychology research by analyzing and comparing research focus trends in the United States (US) and domestic. A keyword network analysis of 379 papers from a US journal (Rehabilitation Psychology, Division 22, APA) published between 2010 and 2017 was conducted and compared with the same analysis in Korea. The primary keywords in domestic rehabilitation psychology were associated with, “classification of subjects according to developmental stage,” “type of intervention,” and “psychological symptoms or psychological variables”, vs US articles related to the, “classification of subjects according to disability type,” “development and application of measurement tools,” and “psychological symptoms or psychological variables.” By comparing the centrality index of keywords, the main research topics in domestic research were, “stress of parents and teachers of disabled children” and “adaptation of children and adolescents.” Further, extensive research on art therapy and group counseling was conducted with relation to intervention plans. Conversely, the primary topics in US research were, “rehabilitation for brain damage and multiple sclerosis patients and their caregivers,” as well as a number of studies emphasizing psychological measurement tools. Authors suggest the primary reason for these differences, and ultimately the research gap presented, is the non-institutionalization of rehabilitation psychology qualifications in Korea. With this in mind, the benefits of creating a national rehabilitation psychology certification are discussed.
