| contents | The history and current status of Psychology in Barbados: Research and professional practice Donna-Maria Bradshaw Maynard Psicología Keywords Barbados Psychology Developmen The article outlines the history and the development of psychological research and practice in Bar - bados, in terms of its strengths and weaknesses. Strengths identified include the University of the West Indies’ support of psychology as a discipline; high demand from students for the psychology programmes; good teaching in the undergraduate programmes; and government regulation of the profession. Weaknesses include that there are no laboratory facilities available at the major training institution, internship sites are scarce and few opportunities exist to be supervised by Ph.D. or Psy.D. psychologists.
