Abstract:
Psychology classes were first taught at Rajshahi University in 1956. In 1965, the University of Dhaka established the Department of Psychology. The Department of Psychology at Jagannath University offered an MSc programme in Psychology within the Faculty of Science in 1986. Chittagong University’s Department of Psychology was founded in 2005 as part of the Biological Sciences Faculty. During the 1993–94 academic years, the University of Dhaka began a postgraduate professional training program in conjunction with the University of London as part of the link initiative. In 1995, the MS in Clinical Psychology program began. Since 1997, Dhaka University has had a separate Department of Clinical Psychology within the Faculty of Biological Sciences, which offers clinical psychology masters and training program as well as produces professional clinical psychologists. In 2012, the Department of Psychology at Jagannath University introduced one-year master’s degrees in psychology in three areas: clinical and counseling psychology; industrial and organizational psychology; and educational and developmental psychology. In 2015, Rajshahi University created a new Clinical Psychology Department inside the Faculty of Life and Earth Science. The Department of Clinical Psychology provides a fouryear BSc Honors degree in Clinical Psychology and a one-year Master’s program in Clinical Psychology. The availability of applied psychologist placement chances in Bangladesh is still limited, indicating that there is a great need for and numerous opportunities to work as a professional psychologist in various fields in Bangladesh.

Abstract:
This is the first research into preparation for multicultural clinical psychology practice in Europe. It applies the theory of multicultural counselling competency (MCC) to a case study in the Netherlands. It was hypothesized that cross-cultural practice experience, identification as a cultural minority, and satisfaction with cultural training was associated with MCC. The Multicultural Awareness Knowledge and Skills Survey was completed by 106 participants (22 students, 10 academics, 74 alumni) from clinical psychology masters’ programs. MANOVA detected a main effect of cross-cultural experience on MCC for all groups and universities. The data were enriched with exploratory qualitative data from 14 interviews (5 students, 5 academics, 4 alumni). Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis revealed three themes: limitations of clinical psychology, strategies for culturally competent practice, and strategies for cultural competency development. These outcomes suggest that cultural competency continues to require attention in master’s programs. The paper makes recommendations for further research enquiry related to training clinical psychologists to practice in Europe’s multicultural societies.

Abstract:
I did my health psychology masters at Surrey University and went on to work in research. I worked for a year at the University of Surrey and then moved to Bexley Clinical Psychology Service where I worked for two years on a project to evaluate the primary care clinical psychology service. A key aspect of the service was providing consultancy to the GP teams in the practices where psychology was based. I received two years further funding and was interested in developing my role to involve both consultancy and training. I liaised with the health promotion service and eventually moved to work there managing a CHD prevention project that involved providing training and consultancy to primary care teams. During that time I completed my Masters in Occupational and Organisational Psychology and a consultancy skills course at the Tavistock. I now work as a Project Manager at the Health Education Authority as part of the professional development team. The broad responsibility of the team is to develop initiatives to support professionals with a remit for health promotion. The area I manage – called Learning at Work – specifically focuses on methods for workplace learning such as coaching and mentoring, supporting the use of the national occupational standards in health promotion and supporting the professional development of health promotion lecturers and educators.

Abstract:
This article explores transformation challenges in postgraduate psychology in the Clinical Masters programme at the University of the Witwatersrand. Although black students form the majority of students in the undergraduate psychology degree programme, this trend is reversed in postgraduate progammes throughout the psychology department, where white students form the bulk of the class and black students make up only a small percentage of the numbers. The research aims to offer a clear and coherent analysis of the underlying inequalities that underpin the racial unevenness between undergraduate and postgraduate psychology classes, while at the same time interrogating the very notions that serve to reproduce this uneven terrain. The research is conducted using both psychology lecturers, and students in undergraduate and postgraduate psychology programs at Wits, and is made up of a sample of twelve in-depth interviews from postgraduate students, undergraduate students and lecturers. These have been analysed qualitatively, using a Thematic Discourse Analysis. Findings centre on the pivotal role that language plays in the subject of racial transformation, both as an indicator of socioeconomic status and as a barrier to the psychology profession. Language is explored for its ideologically bound nature and the ways that this manifests both demographically and institutionally in the University of the Witwatersrand.

Abstract:
Background:Depressive symptoms are one of the main reasons for seeking psychological help. Shorter interventions using briefly trained therapists could offer a solution to the ever-rising need for early and easily applicable psychological treatments.Aims:The current study examines the effectiveness of a four-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) based treatment for self-reported depressive symptoms administered by Masters level psychology students.Method:This paper reports the effectiveness of a brief intervention compared to a waiting list control (WLC) group. Participants were randomized into two groups: ACT (n= 28) and waiting list (n= 29). Long-term effects were examined using a 6-month follow-up.Results:The treatment group's level of depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory) decreased by an average of 47%, compared to an average decrease of 4% in the WLC group. Changes in psychological well-being in the ACT group were better throughout, and treatment outcomes were maintained after 6 months. The posttreatment “between-group” and follow-up “with-in group” effect sizes (Cohen'sd) were large to medium for depressive symptoms and psychological flexibility.Conclusions:The results support the brief ACT-based intervention for sub-clinical depressive symptoms when treatment was conducted by briefly trained psychology students. It also contributes to the growing body of evidence on brief ACT-based treatments and inexperienced therapists.

Abstract:
The problem of reconciling the subjectively known mind with the objectively known brain has puzzled philosophers and scientists for centuries. When attempting to solve this problem in recent times, the focus has been on explaining how the mind is born from the brain, how the two are related, and how we can best understand them. This problem is of particular relevance to clinical psychology because it attempts to both understand and explain pathological presentations by appealing to both subjective personal experience and objective knowledge of the physicality of the brain. In this respect, clinical psychology straddles the gap between mind and brain. This thesis investigates the implications of the mind/brain problem for theory and practice in clinical psychology. Chapter one identifies the tension between knowing the world subjectively and knowing the world objectively and discusses the importance of understanding this tension when investigating the mind/brain problem. Chapter two sets out the foundational concepts of cognitive behavioural approaches in clinical psychology, looking in particular at how cognitive behavioural approaches conceptualise mental events like thoughts and beliefs. It is concluded that while cognitive behavioural approaches to clinical psychology regularly incorporate both mentalistic and physical concepts in its theory and practice, it does not address the inherent problems in their combined use, as revealed by the mind brain/problem. In order to improve the use of mentalistic concepts within the theory and practice of cognitive behaviourally based clinical psychology, chapter three explores the major conceptualisations of mind from the discipline of philosophy of mind. To achieve this improvement, chapter four, suggests that refining of mentalistic concepts in clinical psychology, through the application of philosophical concepts of mind, can be made possible through the use of a framework that captures the different explanatory levels at which the mind/brain operates. The levels-of-explanation framework is put forward for this purpose. Of particular relevance to clinical psychology is the ability to retain the importance of autonomous, subjectively experienced, and causally efficacious mental events, while at the same time, being able to give a realistic account of how these mental events are linked to the physical brain. The levels-of-explanation framework is judged to be a suitable approach with which to achieve this. In chapters five and six, the implications of clinical psychology's use of mentalistic concepts are explored in relation to evidence-based practice and case formulation. It is shown that through a greater understanding of both the nature of mind and the relationship between the mind and the brain, improvements can be made to both the theory and practice of cognitive behaviourally base clinical practice. This is achieved through the application of philosophical concepts of mind, via a levels-of-explanation framework, while both researching and undertaking clinical practice in clinical psychology.

Abstract:
Thesis (MSc (Clinical Psychology)) -- University of Limpopo, 2010.
The Clinical Psychology training program at the University of Limpopo (Medunsa Campus) is based on the theoretical paradigm of General Systems Theory. The functioning of systems in terms of patterns, structure, organization and relationships can therefore also be applied to the trainee and his/her partner relationship system which is characterized by circular patterns of interaction. Ernst (2008) states that within the context of General Systems theory it became evident that the trainee does not function in isolation but as part of a system. The trainee undergoes significant changes throughout the training year if training is effective and this in turn may also impact on the trainee's partner relationship. This investigation was done to establish the effect of a DVD Counselling Programme on the partner-relationship of the trainee in Clinical Psychology with his/her partner/spouse. This is done in order to provide feedback to the trainers of the Clinical Psychology training at Medunsa. This may also possibly assist in establishing a more scientifically founded aid for the trainees in Msc. Clinical Psychology and their partners/spouses. It was a qualitative research project, in which person centered interviews were held with participants and thematically analyzed by three independent clinicians. The entire research project and findings are contextualized in accordance with General Systems Theory. The results indicated that the DVD had a moderate effect on 4/6 of the sample population that reported that their relationship improved in respect of the nature and quality based on mutual understanding, emotional closeness, obtaining of relational skills, effective communication and awareness regarding the impact of the training year on their relationship. The impact of the DVD was somewhat limited in that not all the participants watched it and the manner iIi which some of the trainees approached their partners/spouses, which may have had an effect on how the DVD is received and experienced.

Abstract:

From 2011?2015, The Master?s Touch ministry has been the formal agency for the work of visiting the sick and shut-in at the Mount Moriah A.M.E. Church in New York. The purpose of this study is to determine any correlation between the visitations themselves and the level of local church commitment by the visited family members over these four years. This study is important because persons visited receive the benefits of pastoral care, while the impact on their families may not be as apparent. This research will focus on data from interviews conducted with family members in order to ascertain if there is any change to their level of local church commitment.

Abstract:
This book, for psychologists, clinicians, social scientists, and the general reader, reveals how chaos and nonlinear dynamics can bring new understanding to everyday topics in social sciences. Contributors are leaders in the intersection of psychology and chaos and complexity theories. Written first for the curious and the nonspecialist, while adding areas for those with a more extensive background, this book offers openness and creative wonder. It is conceptual and user-friendly, built around six themes—which are the main learnings for readers. These are (1) seeing nonlinearity, (2) appreciating emergence, (3) finding patterns, (4) using simple models, (5) intervening nonlinearly, and (6) considering new worldviews. It takes no specialized study—although there is more sophisticated material and optional math for those wishing it; the techie will, in addition, find concepts and diagrams to ponder. The volume intends to engage, at times may startle—whether about the weather, internet, organizations, family dynamics, health, evolution, or falling in love. It reveals how many social, personal, clinical, research, and life phenomena become understandable and can be modeled in the light of nonlinear dynamical systems theory. It even offers a broadening worldview, happening already in other sciences, toward a more dynamic, interconnected, and evolving picture, including process-oriented appreciation of one’s own experience. Readers meet the themes in different guises while learning to read subtle signs and patterns, and intervene like an aikido master in the flow of our dynamic world. The themes, are woven throughout diverse applications and extended in the integrative conclusions.

Abstract:
Advanced Genetic Counseling: Theory and Practice addresses educational objectives for second-year genetic counseling students. Building on mastery of genetics principles and baseline clinical skills, this comprehensive textbook begins with the history of the profession as it relates to current practice definitions and goals. Characteristics of clients and counselors that may affect the counseling relationship are presented to guide strategies for achieving positive client outcomes. Throughout the text, a psychotherapeutic counseling approach is advocated. Steps to establishing a therapeutic alliance are outlined and the elements of relational counseling emphasized. The psychological counseling theories presented will help counselors identify interventions to address client needs. Students are encouraged to pursue research to address gaps in evidence needed to guide practice. Health behavior and social psychology theories offer models to assess health perceptions and behaviors. The book concludes with a look toward the future of genetic counseling in the genomics era.

Abstract:
As with Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology and The Prescriber's Guide, Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia is a full-colour title with a fun approach to theories. Stahl has been at the heart of many recent advances in the understanding of pain psychology, which has been reflected in the development of a new and wide variety of psychopharmologic and non-psychopharmologic pain medications. The visual learner will find that these books make psychopharmacology concepts easy to master, while the non-visual learner will enjoy a shortened text version of complex psychopharmacology concepts. Readers will find that the well-structured vocabulary combines with tables and algorithms to help build a vivid conception of current clinical strategies. The title is essential reading for pharmaceutical and mental health professionals, neurologists and pain management specialists. The Suggested Reading section at the end of the book is an invaluable tool for more in-depth learning on particular concepts.

Abstract:
To nonpsychiatric physicians the term psychotherapy often sounds vague and mysterious. Yet, the art of providing healing through the clinician–patient relationship is as old as medicine itself. Psychotherapy is a form of treatment that uses psychologic techniques within the context of this confiding clinician–patient relationship to treat mental symptoms and relieve emotional distress. Psychotherapy may be the main approach to treatment of identified symptoms, or it may be used as an adjunct to pharmacotherapy. The clinician–patient relationship at the core of psychotherapy can be distinguished from other confiding relationships a person may have with family members, friends, mentors, and advisors. In psychotherapy, there is a clearly identified provider of care and a recipient of that care. The provider is specially trained to deliver the care in a professional and coherent way, using specific psychologic techniques. Both the provider and the patient focus their attention on the patient’s specific problems and work together in partnership to address the elements of psychologic distress and improve the patient’s symptoms. The goal of psychotherapy may differ depending on the patient and his or her situation. Sometimes, the goal of psychotherapy is symptom reduction (eg, to decrease anxiety, improve mood, or reduce friction in an interpersonal relationship). It may be used to help an individual replace unhealthy, counterproductive ways of thinking or reacting with more adaptive ones. In other instances, the goal of psychotherapy may be educational or instructive and involve teaching techniques to expand an individual’s coping abilities or communication skills. All forms of psychotherapy develop an individual’s self-awareness and help bolster appropriate self-esteem. The therapeutic setting between patient and clinician establishes validation that the patient’s concerns are worth addressing and provides a sense of hopefulness that things can improve. As new options are explored and new techniques for dealing with distressing situations are discussed, patients develop an increased sense of mastery and feel less overwhelmed by life circumstances. Psychotherapy may take three main forms of: (1) individual, (2) couples or family, or (3) group. In individual psychotherapy, a single patient and therapist work together, focusing on the patient’s unique attitudes, perceived experiences, and behaviors that are associated with his or her current distress.
