Hi,
The current trainings provided to clinical psychologists are oriented towards abnormality, ie unlike other psychologists, counselling, education , industrial or any other psychologists for that matter clinical psychologists are taught and trained to diagnose and treat mental disorders or abnormalities. Whatever model of training we follow whether it emphasises on research or practice, clinical psychology has been looking at serious abnormalities. But there is a growing demand of clinical psychologists in the field of Physical health, especially in helping with terminally ill patients. Clinical psychologists working in this area are not dealing with serious abnormalities but are called to work on various psychological problems associated with terminal illness like anxiety ,depression ect. They are also asked to help out in breaking the bad news,end of life care ect . So this integration paper took at the present training of psychologists and try to see whether the training equip or help Clinical psychologist to work in the area of terminal illness.
Dear sir and friends we are expecting your valuable suggestions.
