    Why An Erection Isn’t Consent? A Clinical Psychology And Forensic Psychology Podcast Episode.

    Why An Erection Isn’t Consent? A Clinical Psychology And Forensic Psychology Podcast Episode.

    Research suggest that men get raped and sexually assaulted as often as women by both men and women. Yet male rape is a lot less reported because of societal factors, gender roles and a whole bunch of horrible myths that stop men from reporting rape and sexual assault. Also, it’s important to note that talking about male rape isn’t about stopping or taking the focus away from female rape, instead it’s actually about highlighting something that isn’t spoken about in society. All rape and sexual assault whether it’s against a man or woman is flat out wrong and it should never happen. Therefore, in this forensic psychology podcast episode, we’ll explore male rape and why an erection isn’t consent. If you like learning about forensic psychology, sexual crimes and why people do this crime then you’ll enjoy today’s episode.

    Note: there are NO graphic details in this episode.

    In the psychology news section, you'll learn how breaking boredom can protect your productivity, how to get your teenage to listen to you, and the importance of memories.

    What Are The Pros And Cons Of Friends With Benefits? A Social Psychology Podcast Episode.

I am really interested in learning more about them and understanding who they do and don’t work for. Therefore, in this social psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn what are the pros and cons of Friends With Benefits and if you did want to engage in this type of relationship, what are some research-based tips for making it work. Of course nothing on this podcast is ever any sort of official advice. Yet if you enjoy learning about relationships, casual sex and more then you’re in for a treat.

    In the psychology news section, you'll learn about whether the pandemic changed our personalities, how much of a risk political advocacy actually is to scientific credibility, and some larger comments about how politics impacts psychology and our work.

    psychological therapy that you hear about time and time again. These include cognitive behavioural therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy amongst others.

    What Are The Key Elements Of A Clinical Formulation Report? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    What Are The Key Elements Of A Clinical Formulation Report? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    Out of all the topics within clinical psychology, formulation remains my favourite topic of all time. Since this is where mental health should be going as it individualises psychological treatment for mental health conditions. As well as with formulation becoming more important in clinical psychology and formulation content is always popular, I want to use this podcast episode to explore what are the key elements of a clinical formulation report. By the end of this podcast episode, you’ll be familiar with
    the key elements so hopefully you’ll feel a little more confident if you ever need to write one up. Which if you work in clinical psychology, chances are you probably will need to in the future. If you enjoy learning about mental health, psychotherapy and working in clinical psychology then you’re in for a treat with this episode.

    In the psychology news section, you'll learn about how chimps and bee show an "exclusive" human behaviour, how dogs seem to catch eve small changes in our mood, and how treating your fear of spiders might fix your fear of heights. (There's a lot of biological psychology news this week!).
