National investigation was made and carried out from August to October in 2006, based on a pilot survey carried out in 2005. Subjects were asked years as SC, the clinical years before SC, the number of schools they worked for, the degree they recognized their schools, the training history as a beginner and thenceforth, the existence of the in-service training for beginners and support organization in the prefectural society of certified clinical psychologists (henceforth, PSCCP), the contents of training in PSCCP, the contents of individual supervision (henceforth, SV), organizations in cooperation, troubled experiences and the expectation of assistance from other professionals. The common items with non-SC are whether there is assisting system in the PSCCP or not, the experience as supervisor (henceforth "SV") and/or lecturer, and expected nature as SV, the experience and impression of cooperation with SC, and as individual attribute, the name of main working place and of PSCCP they are enrolled.
The differences between SC and non-SC were seen in the experience of SV and/or lecturer, the expected nature of SV, and the impression of SC. Moreover, there are found differences according to the scale of municipals in the number of SC experience, the existence of training for beginners, the support systems, the contents of training, the organizations in cooperation, etc. Furthermore, it investigated 4 SC(s) immediately after qualification acquisition. It became clear that a substantial individual SV system, the correspondence to the difference in the support system by the scale of the PSCCP, the personnel exchanges beyond the prefectural border, and the thorough support to beginners are the most important.
