Clinical Psychology: A Critical Examination

Any theory is only as strong as its capacity to withstand sustained critical examination. The practice of critique must, therefore, form the basis of both good academic work and thoughtful clinical practice.

The series Critical Examinations looks at the claims of Psychology and various of its sub-disciplines. In this volume Craig Newnes, a leading critical thinker, casts an eagle eye over the profession of clinical psychology — its history, training, practice and research — revealing some troubling home truths, asking some uncomfortable questions and opening debate in areas where we may not have realised debate was to be had.

Important and recommended reading for all those working , studying or interested in the world of clinical psychology and other fields of mental health care.
