Introduction to Clinical Psychology and Other Helping Professions familiarizes students with key concepts in clinical psychology, as well as the myriad professions within mental health, including psychiatry, counseling psychology, school psychology, school counseling, social work, and general counseling. The text illuminates possibilities within the discipline and helps students determine potential pathways for their future careers. Unit One introduces the major helping professions, as well as the historical contexts that have informed and shaped them; professional training, licensure, and certification; and the assessment process. In Unit Two, students are provided with practical information, beginning with interviewing and basic helping skills and ending with crisis management and problem solving. Unit Three addresses the major theoretical points of view within psychotherapy. Unit Four explores psychotherapies considered to have a more modern or inclusive approach. The final unit speaks to current and future issues within psychotherapy, including gender, multiculturalism, neuropsychology, medication, ethics, technology, and more. Featuring cutting-edge research and case examples from the author's practice, Introduction to Clinical Psychology and Other Helping Professions is an exemplary resource for undergraduate courses, as well as beginning and intermediate graduate-level courses.
