\"knafocover0215_1w\"<\/a>Becoming a Clinical Psychologist: Personal Stories of Doctoral Training<\/strong> is a collection of accounts written by a diverse group of early career psychologists and doctoral students in their final stages of training. Each of twelve authors provides a deeply personal, inside perspective on becoming a therapist. Some of these articles combine qualitative research with the author\u2019s particular experience, while others emphasize the author\u2019s personal journey as s\/he moves from novice to clinician. Some of the issues that are covered include the ways in which training affects personal and professional relationships with spouses, friends, peers, faculty and supervisors, and clients; how budding clinicians deal with their own issues and feelings of inadequacy; and how trainees learn to develop the right balance of empathy and detachment in working with clients. Also unique to this collection is the diversity reflected in the contributors, which include an Orthodox Jewish gay man who \u201ccame out\u201d during training; a black woman of African descent who found a home in the psychoanalytic approach; a white man who experienced minority status in his mostly female doctoral program; a bisexual, white woman who had to negotiate misperceptions and judgments as she moved through her clinical training; and a dissident student who came from another profession and found herself at odds with most of her professors and supervisors about the role of trauma in the etiology of mental illness. This book offers a wealth of information about today\u2019s training and trainees and will be compelling reading for those both inside and outside the field of psychology.<\/p>\n

Reviews<\/strong>
\n\u201cThis volume provides an important adjunct to clinical training in psychology. It will be a valuable resource for both students and educators, inviting in-depth consideration of the personal challenges involved in becoming a clinical psychologist.\u201d

\u201cThis unique book provides a collection of candid, revealing, and deeply personal accounts of the trials, tribulations, rewards, and joys experienced by students undergoing training to become clinical psychologists and psychotherapists. What are the unexpected ways in which undergoing training affects relationships with friends, families, and romantic partners? What is it like to be struggling with your own personal problems while training to help others? What is it like to be the only black trainee in your training program? What is it like to be pathologized for being a man when most of your fellow trainees are women? What is it like for a gay Orthodox Jewish trainee to be struggling with \u2018coming out of the closet\u2019? This book is a must-read for anyone teaching therapists, those undergoing or considering clinical training, those thinking of undergoing therapy, or those who are just plain curious about it.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2014Jeremy D. Safran,<\/strong> PhD, New School for Social Research<\/p>\n

\u201cNow more than ever, there is a need to articulate and strengthen our understanding of the process through which trainees transform into professional, competent practitioners. Therefore, Danielle Knafo, Robert Keisner, and Silvia Fiammenghi\u2019s Becoming a Clinical Psychologist is a welcome and timely contribution, which has the distinct merit of allowing us to hear doctoral students describing their own experience. The introduction provides a lively overview of the contemporary scene in clinical psychology, and many of the chapters focus on issues around diversity. Anyone who is contemplating entering the field, who has recently joined the field, or who has the responsibility of training students will find this book informative and helpful.\u201d
