Hi Vicky I work on the Salomons clinical psychology course which does state that one of its aims is to train 'critical practitioners'. As David says, several people on this list contribute or have contributed to the course - see for example http://www.mhhe.heacademy.ac.uk/resources/case-study-2/ Anne [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: The UK Community Psychology Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Vicky Honeyman Sent: 07 October 2008 20:26 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [COMMUNITYPSYCHUK] advice Hi everyone, My name is Vicky and I'm currently finishing an MSc in Community Psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University. I've got an undergraduate psychology degree and have volunteered with Penumbra's Edinburgh Self Harm Project for two summers and with a small organisation called VentureArts for people with learning difficulties for the past year. I'm currently working as a support worker with people with mental health issues, learning difficulties and dual diagnosis. My research interests have been within qualitative research and I have an interest in critical psychology. I've been applying for assistant psychologist jobs for the past few months and have had a few interviews but haven't yet been successful in obtaining a post. I'm interested in pursuing a career in clinical psychology and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice about either assistant posts and what is expected within the interviews, what further experience would be beneficial for me to aim for and whether it is worthwhile apply for the clinical psychology doctorates even although I've not worked as an assistant psychologist yet. I know that the criteria for the doctorates usually says they will consider applicants without having been an assistant but I was really wondering given the competition for these posts and courses is this realistic? Thanks in advance for anyone who replies. Kind regards, Vicky ___________________________________ COMMUNITYPSYCHUK - The discussion list for community psychology in the UK.
