Aside from the passion of helping those who are severely disordered, one wonders about the economics of this path…

In ‘98, an APA executive council member (whose name I forgot) who lectured at the Saybrook Institute mentioned that in the future, the pressures of managed care might drive income down to that of teachers.

Were this the case, he warned that clinicians might be better served exiting the field, and redefining themselves as “lifespan consultants.”

Thank you so much for this article. I have been looking forward to applying for a doctorate in clinical psychology for months and now applications have opened I was worried since my academic credentials are fine (expected first or at least 2:1 BSc) but I have no clinical experience. Looking through your list of ideas has shown me I actually do have some experience (advocacy) and possible family experience may be of help. I will make sure by following up some of your ideas pronto! I can’t thank you enough for your info :-)

wait a minute…….
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???????????????????

SO IF I STUDY FOR AN UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE IN “PSYCHOLOGY WITH CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY” AT KENT UNIVERSITY I CANNOT YET BE A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST????????

WHY ARE THEY CALLING IT “CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY” THEN?
AND WHY WOULD I NEED ADDITIONAL TRAINING????
