Review: I bought this for my niece as an introduction to the field, but having read the first few pages can see it's woefully out of date and is misleading to any aspiring Psychologists. You can't qualify as a Psychologist with a first degree and 'membership of a relevant Professional Association'. For some years now, to qualify as either a Clinical or Counselling Psychologist has required completion of a Doctoral training, as well as extensive clinical experience- so that's a minimum of 7 years. Furthermore both Counselling and Clinical Psychologists work with people with mental disorders, with Clinical Psychologists tending to concentrate more on those whose problems emanate from biological illness/injury whilst Counselling Psychologists deal more in Personality disorders and developmental trauma. In practice, much of their work is interchangeable but only Counselling Psychologists are required to undergo personal therapy as a condition of clinical practice. Whilst the rest of the book may be great I'm afraid such a poor start leaves me wondering what else might be out of date....
