Book Preparing Psychologists for the 21st Century

Download or read book Preparing Psychologists for the 21st Century written by Leonard Bickman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sponsored by the American Psychological Association, this is a representation of the proceedings of the National Conference on Graduate Education in Psychology. The proceedings begin with general introductory material, after which ten major issues are presented and discussed, answering such questions as: How can science and practice be combined? Should there be a core or individualized curriculum? What are the implications of the institutional and organizational setting? Are programs responsible for the marketability of their graduates? Major themes cutting across many presentations and recommendations include: the perceived unity or disunity of psychology as it is taught and as it organizationally exists; the acceptance and encouragement of diversity within a unified discipline; the quality of graduate education and its students; and recognition that graduate education involves people as well as curricula. Since the issues covered are of great concern to scientists, health service providers and educators alike, this book should have a significant impact on the field.

Book Graduate Education in Psychology

Download or read book Graduate Education in Psychology written by and published by . This book was released on 1959 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a report of the Conference on Graduate Education in Psychology, sponsored by the Education and Training Board of the American Psychological Association, and held at Miami Beach, Florida, November 29 to December 7, 1958. This report is written primarily for our colleagues in psychology who were not present at the Conference but who are as personally and professionally concerned with these problems as is the Conference membership. It is written secondarily for all who are directly or indirectly concerned with the training of psychologists and the utilization of psychology. Our goal has been to convey accurately the range and concentration of sentiment at the Conference on a sizable array of complicated issues, and also to present these in the context of the present as it has developed from the past and with consideration for the possible impact on the future. This Conference is a major attempt to grapple with the significant issues in graduate education in psychology as we perceive them today. The issues were organized into five major topics: I. The Roles of Psychologists; II. The Common Core; III. Specialty Training; IV. Sub-doctoral Training; and V. Controls. In their origins and statement they represented the contributions and efforts of many individuals. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved).

Book Becoming a Clinical Psychologist

Download or read book Becoming a Clinical Psychologist written by Danielle Knafo and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-02-06 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are thinking about starting therapy, going to graduate school, or are yourself a practicing healer of hearts and minds, Becoming a Clinical Psychologist: Personal Stories of Doctoral Training offers a wealth of useful information about today’s training and trainees.. This book is a collection of accounts written by a diverse group of early-career psychologists and doctoral students in their final stages of training. Each of the twelve authors provides a deeply personal, inside perspective on becoming a therapist. Some of the chapters combine qualitative research with the author’s particular experience, while others emphasize the author’s personal journey as s/he moves from novice to clinician. Some of the issues that are covered include the ways in which training affects personal and professional relationships with spouses, friends, peers, faculty and supervisors, and clients; how budding clinicians deal with their own issues and feelings of inadequacy; and how trainees learn to develop the right balance of empathy and detachment in working with clients. Also unique to this collection is the diversity reflected in the contributors, which include an Orthodox Jewish gay man who “came out” during training; a Black woman of African descent who found a home in the psychoanalytic approach; a White man who experienced minority status in his mostly female doctoral program; a bisexual, White woman who had to negotiate misperceptions and judgments as she moved through her clinical training; and a dissident student who came from another profession and found herself at odds with most of her professors and supervisors about the role of trauma in the etiology of mental illness. Becoming a Clinical Psychologist is a compelling read for those both inside and outside the field of psychology.
