Clinical Psychology is for students studying clinical psychology as part of an undergraduate programme in psychology, nursing, sociology or social and behavioural sciences. Undergraduate students who wish to know if postgraduate study in clinical psychology would be of interest to them will find this book particularly useful.


The book will inform students about:








the profession of clinical psychology
how to get onto a clinical psychology postgraduate training programme
the way clinical psychologists work with children, adolescents and adults with common psychological problems
the main models of practice used by clinical psychologists, and
the scientific evidence for the effectiveness of psychological interventions.





There is a focus on both clinical case studies and relevant research, and the book includes summaries, revision questions, advice on further reading and a glossaryof key terms, all of which make it an excellent student-friendly introduction to an exceptionally interesting subject. "Alan Carr's book gives an excellent overview of clinical psychology. It is clear and comprehensive, and will provide an invaluable guide to undergraduates and postgraduates alike, both those who want to understand psychological breakdown, and those who feel called to pursue a career in applying these understandings to help people who struggle with such psychological problems." - Mark Williams, University of Oxford, UK


"This book provides a useful overview of clinical psychology. ... It is particularly encouraging to see a shift in emphasis from the US orientation so commonly found underpinning undergraduate texts. As a result, this affords greater relevance and applicability to clinical psychology within Europe. The text is marketed as a student friendly introduction and it certainly meets this objective." - Claudie Fox, University of Warwick, UK
