This bibliometric study was performed with the aim of surveying the state-of-the-art of clinical psychology in Hispanic America. Sixteen out of eighteen Hispanic America journals, indexed in Scopus under the Psychology descriptor, were analyzed. Two journals had to be discarded for different reasons: one of them did not have any articles about clinical psychology and the other had been discontinued. The volumes considered for the survey spanned a two-year period, from 2012 to 2014. There are a total of 1534 original articles, out of which 769 were related to clinical psychology. Results showed the following distribution: psychopathology (38%), assessment (24%), promotion and prevention (17%), psychotherapy (10%), epidemiology (4%), others interventions (3%), training (1%), others (3%). It concludes by pointing out strengths and weaknesses of the results and the implications that these have in clinical practice.
