Description
Succeeding in Your Psychotherapy Practicum and Internship is a book about what students can often expect from their psychotherapy internship and how they can make the most of their experience.
The book is written from two perspectives-one, that of a seasoned therapist, professor, and supervisor of therapy, and two, the perspective of a registered intern therapist who just went through the internship process. Succeeding in Your Psychotherapy Practicum and Internship covers the basics of psychotherapy internships, from the beginning stages of finding and starting at an internship site, to navigating the common experiences at an internship, to reflecting on therapeutic growth and the ending of an internship, and much more. Students will come away from this book with a deep understanding of each perspective, one that will enhance their appreciation of the practicalities and possibilities of their practicum and internship experiences.

Reviews / Votes
"This book could not have come at a better time. Succeeding in Your Psychotherapy Practicum and Internship is a must read for graduate students in mental health and related fields, supervisors, and practicum/internship instructors. Packed with practical tips, useful exercises, and real-world examples, it will be the go-to text for graduate students navigating their transition into the mental-health field. I can't wait to use this book in my future practicum and internship courses!"Jon Sperry, PhD, Lynn University; co-editor of the Journal of Individual Psychology
"Better than having a friend a few years ahead of you in the program! This book answers all the questions-and then some-about the nuts and bolts of what to expect in your practicum and internship training experience. A truly useful guidebook for students in any mental-health professions who are required to have external clinical training."
Christopher Burnett, PsyD, associate professor of human relationship systems, Nova Southeastern University
