I'm only speculating, but most training programs in clinical psych are psychoanalytic, or, more accurately, psychodynamic in orientation. Since most clinicians are trained in that approach, it stands to reason that more clients would be receiving that form of treatment. My orientation is cognitive-behavioral, but my degree was in developmental and my clinical training was postdoc. In the settings were I have worked, I was usually the only person with my orientation-all the rest were psychodynamic. That is slowly changing, but it is still likely that most clinical psychologists are less likely to be trained and therefore practice in the other approaches mentioned above.

I would strongly disagree with this speculation. Stanovich in his
paperback, How To Think Straight About Psychology, notes that less
than 10% of APA members (which are overwhelmingly clinicians) are
concerned with psychoanalysis and even less in APS (<5%). I think
it is a distortion to believe that "most" training programs
in clinical are psychodynamic in orientation.
