    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.

    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!).

    Why Is Each Psychology Subfield An Echo Chamber? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    What Should Therapists Tell Clients About Their First Therapy Session? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    What Should Therapists Tell Clients About Their First Therapy Session? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    When a client comes to a therapist and books a first
    session, the client will be anxious, concerned and they will have a lot of questions. This is perfectly normal but therapists might want to take the time to tell clients a few pieces of information to help them understand what’s going to happen amongst other things. These answers will help the client to relax and not be as stressed about their first therapy session. Something that will hopefully change their lives for the better. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, we’re going to explore the questions clients have for therapists about their first session and how therapists might want to answer these questions. If you enjoy learning about clinical psychology, psychotherapy and mental health, then you’ll like today’s episode for sure.

    In the psychology news section, you'll learn about how to tell a joke to an ape, arguments around p-values, and if there was a time before dementia.
