A national survey of 800 members of Division 17 (Counseling Psychology) was conducted to assess attitudes about selected work sites and professional activities for counseling psychologists. Survey items were written to represent worksites and activities that have been traditionally associated with either counseling or clinical psychology. Responses to the survey were analyzed through an oblique rotation principle components analysis of survey items, the assignment of standardized scores to respondents' data, and the subsequent cluster analysis of standardized scores. Based on responses to the attitude survey items three subgroups of respondents emerged, which were named Clinical Counseling Psychologists, Central Counseling Psychologists, and Traditional Counseling Psychologists. These subgroups are described and the implications of their existence within Division 17 are discussed.
