Abstract

The United States Public Health Service (USPHS) has had a significant influence on the practice and research of behavioral health care, and on the training of psychologists. Most clinical psychologists in the USPHS serve as members of the USPHS Commissioned Corps, one of the seven uniformed services in the United States. The Commissioned Corps is devoted to protecting, promoting, and advancing the health and safety of the nation. Clinical psychologists serve in a variety of roles, including participation in Commissioned Corps deployments, to support this mission. This entry reviews the history of the USPHS, its role in the history of clinical psychology, and the current roles of psychologists within the USPHS.
