Abstract

This article reviews a body of research, empirical and speculative, describing variables thought to determine a psychologist's choice of theoretical orientation. The review finds two types of variables (1) the influences of training, colleagues, supervisors, initial experience and (2) the effects of personality traits and epistemological values, beliefs and philosophy. The weight of evidence from the reviewed studies of organizational and clinical psychologists, and an analysis of the data, suggests that personality and epistemic traits are significantly involved in orientation choice. This has implications for training, practitioner and client outcome satisfaction, and understanding the poor communication that exists between these two orientations
