First published in 1996. The revised and expanded third edition of the Manual for Clinical Psychology Trainees is directed primarily to graduate psychology students-although it will prove valuable for everyone involved in patient care. This book presents easily understood, brief guidelines for each step in the provision of psycho­ logical services. The authors do not attempt to document every possible approach to every potential issue; instead, their goal is to clear a path through a complex and multilayered field. By targeting the discussion in this way, the format allows for the provision of actual methods that work, thus enabling the newcomer to accomplish a variety of clinical tasks. The authors draw upon their extensive firsthand experience in training to offer essential guidelines for effective clinical work. This concise, easy-to-use edition has been thoroughly updated to take into account the numerous advances that have occurred in the field since the previous edition was published in 1988. New to this edition are chapters addressing supervision in clinical psychology and research in a practicum setting. Plentiful examples of the interviews, reports, and records that the practitioner is called upon to conduct or compile are included throughout the text. In addition, there are extensive tables detailing various syndromes, as well as tests and classes of medication.
