Description
Summary:Reviews the book, Clinical Psychology in Action: A Collection of Case Studies edited by Jenny West and Penny Spinks (see record 1988-98103-000). This volume consists of a collection of specially written case studies designed to give insight into the professional world of the clinical psychologist; they are taken from the experience of the clinical psychologists involved, and they illustrate a very wide spectrum of clinical work and service development. Papers dealing with clinical cases reflect a variety of assessment and therapeutic methods; other papers cover teaching, research, and organizational projects. This broad-ranging text should be a valuable guide for those professionals who need to understand the role of the clinical psychologist; to this end it can be strongly recommended. It will also provide a useful guide to students who are thinking of becoming clinical psychologists. Experienced clinical psychologists will find much of interest in this volume.
