'The book should be read by anyone who wants to obtain a place on a clinical psychology training programme in the UK or Ireland. It contains a wealth of practical advice on how to obtain relevant experience as an assistant psychologist or other pre-training post and then how to make the transition from this relevant experience on to a clinical psychology training programme.' - Alan Carr, Director of the Doctoral Programme in Clinical Psychology at University College, Dublin
Clinical psychology is a vast area of research, on an international
stage, fundamentally addressing psychological problems or disorders
from an assessment, diagnostic and interventionist point of view.
This complex field of science studies a mix of complex client
groups (children to the elderly) and a variety of different
perspectives of study (from neuropsychology to psychotherapy
perspectives). Clinical Psychology II: Treatments and Interventions
These four volumes cover the areas of treatments and interventions.
The former targets treatments which are based on a specific theory
(for example psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, interpersonal,
cognitive, experiential and humanistic) as well as treatment
approaches which have been specifically associated with a focused
diagnosis (e.g., cognitive therapy for panic disorder). The latter
targets interventions which are less specifically associated with
diagnostic categories or theoretical models and are often based on
features of service settings (for example primary care or forensic
settings). These four volumes reflect the diversity of applications
of clinical psychology by considering treatments and interventions
in adult, children and adolescents, older adults, and families and
also cover interventions relating to areas such a neuropsychology
(e.g., brain injury).

This complex field of science studies a mix of complex client
groups (children to the elderly) and a variety of different
perspectives of study (from neuropsychology to psychotherapy
perspectives). Clinical Psychology I: Assessment and Formulation
covers the areas of assessment of presenting problems within the
field of clinical psychology (including diagnosis, testing,
interpretation, psychometrics, instruments, measures and clinical
significance), and the formulation of presenting problems within
particular theoretical models (such as psychodynamic models -
attachment theory; cognitive models of diagnostic presentations;
case formulation approach). The combination of these two key terms
provides the necessary base for highlighting the range and
sophistication of psychological approaches to these areas allowing
a focus on the traditional 'diagnostic' approach but also a wider
and more diverse approach beyond diagnosis. Accordingly, these four
volumes capture a breadth of psychological theory that would
otherwise be lost.
