The purpose of this study is to construct a new evaluation method using rubrics for clinical psychology practice in hospital. As the first step of this study, we tried to clarify the actual guiding principles of a faculty of clinical psychology. In proceeding with the above, a faculty’s feedbacks to 130 reports on clinical psychology practice in hospital were analyzed through the text-mining analysis using KH Coder. We performed a hierarchical cluster analysis and a correspondence analysis by using the components. Seven clusters of characteristics were extracted as a result of the hierarchical cluster analysis．These clusters means that some guiding principles of this faculty were as follows; 1. How to observe and understand a wide variety of clinical interventions by medical staffs, 2. How to describe their way to exchange with the patients, in order to grasp the meanings of relation between trainees and the patients. 3. How to use psychological tests effectively in the hospital setting. Further research is needed to clarify core skills that are necessary to work at medical fields, through the text-mining analysis of trainee’s reports.
