Nice podcast
Great podcast, some excellent discussions
Nancy McWilliams
So interesting to hear the views of a psychoanalyst after being immersed in the CBT world for much of my training and practice. Particularly her views on looking for the areas that work well in all modalities. What are the common factors across modality that well? Plus her reinforcing views of the over arching importance of the therapeutic relationship as the key factor in therapy.
Talking to 3 clinical psychology registrars
I thought that asking why these 3 psychologists had chosen clinical psychology is a strange question. In my state WA, clinical psychologists are in high demand and basically can work in any field. The best students become clinical psychologists. The rest choose the other fields. Department of Health, department of child protection, department of justice etc are basically employing clinical psychologists.
I chose the best master because I could.
